gs and the boys were naked short on the German banks

I bet. So now the ban so Goldman will hammer the stock down further and cash out of the Naked shorts. You can't catch GS with there pants down. Could be Goldman or just about any other firm. They could bring just about any company around to their knees. Germany did the right thing. You can't let Investment companies with leverage the ability to do crap like this, its just plain stealing.

GS bankrupted their counter party (AIG) in 2008 and yet they didn't give up, mobilized Geithner to bail them out.

Do you remember Lilly explaining that they would pay their $80B debt to the govt by orderly selling their assets? They should've instead stopped paying GS. Today AIG still owes billions and yet GS collected all of its payments...

The idea of why people still have to put up with this company just beats me.

Stealing = GS

thanks for the link, niceof AIG to explain it so well....
