Goldman Sachs Shareholders Eye Goldman Sachs Funds

Goldman Sachs Funds Wealth Management Systems have never come under so much scrutiny. In the age of the litigant it should be no surprise that Goldman Sachs shareholders have been discussing legal action with their attorneys over Goldman Sachs Funds. The Goldman Sachs Funds Wealth Management Systems are not only for the elite but the Goldman Sachs managers are used to scrutiny.

Shareholders looking to sue Goldman Sachs have two difficulties. The first is building a case against Goldman Sachs funds, the second is not being party to any future deals or profits from Goldman. The giant vampire squid knows no bounds when it comes to greed, even by those damaged by their action in the hope they will benefit next time around. Successful Wealth Management Systems understand risk. This means investors need to understand they can lose sometimes.

Earlier in 2010 the Securities and Exchange Commission accused Goldman Sachs of fraud over the way subprime mortgages were structured and marketed. The filing hit the stock hard, falling over 13 percent in the afternoon session after the announcement. In the U.S, after big stock price falls like that it seem almost customary to sue and is why it is thought there are shareholders looking to sue Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs Funds Wealth Management Systems continue to evolve in a more challenging environment since the high frequency trading missteps and the announcement Goldman Sachs would be pulling out of proprietary trading.

Goldman Sachs Litigation

A number of attorneys have weighed in with opinions and really they are advertising their services to those his have been hurt by Goldman Sachs Funds.

Stuart Grant, managing director of Grant & Eisenhofer who specializes in securities litigation has been quoted as saying 'I would not be surprised if this spurred litigation from shareholders or from securities purchasers.'  He also said clients had contacted Grant & Eisenhofer in regard to Goldman Sachs.

Grant, stating the obvious, said 'If the SEC is successful, this could be quite damaging to Goldman.' Goldman Sachs Funds Wealth Management Systems rely heavily on goodwill and reputation and could ill afford a fallout in the world debt crisis.

There has also been much talk of AIG and others taking action against Goldman Sachs Funds. The expectation is that the cases most likely to be filed will be those who were directly affected by the Abacus CDO. Goldman is notoriously vigorous in defense and has shown they intend to defend the SEC allegations. There is also intense speculation that Goldman will cut Fabrice Tourre loose as the fall guy for the Sub prime losses. The SEC charged Tourre along with Goldman Sachs; the case is SEC v. Goldman Sachs & Co et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, and No. 10-03229.

Goldman Sachs Delaware Incorporation

Goldman Sachs is incorporated in the State of Delaware and Robert Thompson, a law professor at Vanderbilt University Law School has been quoted as saying this could present a problem for litigants. I mention earlier that the structure of Goldman Sachs Funds and of Goldman Sachs Wealth Management is structured to avoids financial setbacks. Goldman Sachs shareholders will struggle to sue because of this structure. He believes complaints filed in Delaware state court would struggle to comply with standards for breaches of fiduciary duty. This is the most common claim in class action shareholder lawsuits. Indeed there has never been a fiduciary duty case filed yet in Delaware.

Timing is crucial. Thompson has said that two-thirds of all such fiduciary duty cases are filed in the first three days of a particular event. This is because of state rules for assigning counsel in a case. This is not to gloss over Goldman Sachs Funds problems. There also exists the risk of the Federal court for potential litigants.

Goldman Sachs Funds Wealth Management Systems have been hit by the SEC fraud claim but also Goldman Sachs shareholder murmerings. This hurts the investment bank's reputation though major shareholder Warren Buffett has come out with supporting comments.

After Goldman, Who is Next?

Whenever there is massive alleged fraud like this from Goldman Sachs Funds and Wall Street Wealth Management Systems eyes look elsewhere. The obvious suspects are similar wealth management systems and the other parties that took part in these and similar sub-prime transactions.

The obvious questions are;

  1. How widespread is the practice at the heart of the fraud allegations, does it apply to other transactions.
  2. Did other firms handle similar transactions, and use the same packaging and marketing methodology?
  3. Did Government and Banking agencies know about this methodology?
  4. What jurisdictions did Goldman and friends operate under, the U.S. Sate and Federal, internationally?

One expects this case to unravel with surprises given the political players involved. We have already had President Obama and former President Clinton comment on pushing through financial Services legislation using the SEC Goldman case as collateral. We have the state governments, the SEC, FSA and the SEC all ready to join the fray, and stuff things up as only they can.  Shareholders looking to sue Goldman Sachs have all this to contend with. Interesting times ahead for the Squid and its devotees indeed, to sue or not sue is the question. For those invested in Goldman Sachs Funds they face an uneasy time as do other invested in the world's wealth management systems. Goldman Sachs shareholders must be wondering what else is out there and can the mighty Goldman Sachs wealth management advisors right the ship.

Terrific hub. Let's face it, Wall Street does need regulation in order to protect the public, but I have no doubt that this administration will go way too far.

What we need is Bpop is effective regulation not regulation for politicians and attorneys to make money from. Clearly what we have had doesn't protect the public
