That was posted a few days ago, except last time it had Wells Fargo logos all over it. Definitely did not come from Goldman, and there is nothing to indicate that it did. I hate that reporters just stick "Goldman Sachs" in headlines now to draw clicks.

I wonder if they will ever overcome their "vampire squid" moniker.

Considering it's a reputation they've cultivated and carefully fostered over the past two and half decades, I seriously doubt it.
