In my 10 years at the firm I had the privilege of meeting Lloyd multiple times and there wasn’t a single time he didn’t leave me impressed, actually awestruck. His intellect is matched by his incredible sense of humor. He is a hard act to follow, and the current CEO is realizing that.

They mention Blankfein and Bernanke graduated Harvard in 1975 but don't point out they were roommates, or that he was also a valedictorian from a middle-class Jewish family which I guess is what Harvard was looking for at the time. Come on, a 12 year old doing a power-point presentation could have found that info. They must have glanced over wikipedia before the interview.

Somebody rigged up the ties with the microphones for them. Then they put them on. Lloyd basically was a broker starting out.

Inspirational story and of course Rubenstein wouldn't ask him the million dollar question: "Do you think you deserved your $100 million bonus you received during the crisis...millions of Americans were losing their jobs and houses and yet someone that created the crisis is rewarded? How is that fair?"

+Fred Hampton's Ghost - Here's some advice, Mr. Socialist. How many people now do you think are "farmers"? Not very many! Far fewer than there used to be! If you want to build something that can challenge the wealthy elite, then you need new ideas for a new age. You need something that the modern "working class" (which includes the office-going middle class) can buy into. Yesterday's working class is today's middle class, since so many more people work in offices now. Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848. It's a bit outdated now. I am certain that if wealth inequality keeps continuing on its current path, there will be public unrest at some point - it's inevitable. But don't focus on the ideas of "the working classes" that were written 150 years ago. You need to create a movement that the middle classes will buy into as well. You need to create a new paradigm of "class consciousness", just like Marx did all those years ago, because we live in a very different world now.

Daniel Feldman I know I’m 11 months late, but Lloyd didn’t get a bonus during the Great Recession. The only Wall Street executive that did was John Thain at Merrill Lynch. Also, Goldman didn’t cause the recession hence why they were forced to take TARP money. I know it’s the in thing to do in the liberal circles is to blame the successful companies on the recession, but just a touch of research goes a longs ways.

I think Lloyd is a smart guy

I respect him, but I did not peg him for a liar. I would be proud that we made money during the crash. His answer enough to the public relations was enough.

" Curt loves you Lloyd "

You don't need Public relations everybody "knew who you where"

I just read in a really large company's bank book (looking for millions in investor dollars, i.e. not PR) that a competitive advantage (a business term which means investors can make a lot of money) was that it pursued stores in poor/rural neighborhoods with little competition and was very involved in the community. In other words, jobs are provided in areas most companies stay away from. People who hate on business, especially big business, are trolls who don't know shit. If you're poor and expect to be poor your entire life, fuck you--you deserve to be screwed out of everything.

He was being repositioned within the company and turned that down, at his first job. That's something to foo should've asked more questions about, that takes courage to do. Unless it was easier to get a job then?

I have quite similar attitude such as risk aversion investment and am interested in bond and fund investment.

I also can work 24/7 like him~~😆

Ironically all the haters are broke, and he's actually living the life he created for himself........hmmmmmmm perhaps hate is not working.

We are all judging these rich people...because of the sheer damage they caused, but the attitude is the same. You work in a cafeteria and sell coffee to a customer, do you tell them they are paying two dollars for an espresso that cost 2 cents to make? The structure of capitalism is fuck each other up. In this particular instance the real weapon has been to give credit to anyone to drive assets prices up and increase earning for originators of loans... secondarily smart fuckers like Goldman thrived in this anomaly. Look at your politicians and who you vote, and the free market idol. Too easy to blame Blankfein and think that if he had been in jail we wouldn't have the crisis. Its the system you support. You are as guilty as Blankfein...just poorer.

Because they did nothing illegal. And a bunch of angry poor people is not enough to get a bunch of fat cats arrested. Because the american system only cares about votes and dollars.(poor people and fat cats) Because as long as you give the poor welfare and the rich don't have to pay for the welfare you get the winning combination for everyone who matters, not the middle class, but the american economic and political system is designed to kill the middle class.

Another Zionist leeching off hard working Americans. No wonder they were booted out of 100+ countries in the past millennium.

I feel like this Gentleman, Mr. Blankfein, is my new Bill Gates. Because he is quite brilliant and does a great job articulating and conveying his perspective on the public, government and private businesses and how they collaborate and improve, together. Michael Bloomberg, on the other hand, has made me feel like as if I am one of his "hollywood kids," meaning, lets say you have a lot of kids, and then they all grow and one of them ends up making it big in hollywood, in terms of fame and attention... and so, you can write off the others who didn't pan out and utilize your hollywood kid to connect with the audience.. I feel like, I am his hollywood kids, because he is not being the father I had hoped in a father. yes of-course, I still have my regular father, who despite advancing into his late 50's... works just fine! 🙂

I wonder if this is a pr stunt to make Llyod Blankfein appear amicable, in order to avoid recrimination and prosecution for his decisions leading up to the financial crisis and his responsibility for it! ;) If that were the case I assume he believes it possible for him to be sued, which could imply he knows he's guilty of something. Apart from that, I couldn't care less whom he considers his imaginary friend, but this charade is ridiculous and he is absolutely exaggerating his rags to riches story. And I expect more from the CEO of Goldman Sachs than this hubris, which leads him to believe he can fool the rest of the world.

Alter Schwede! (As we say in Germany) Get a life! You are the one insulting people, because they mix up names. "You know others by knowing yourself": ---> "Did you really think I'd buy that BS explanation that you accidentally typed "David Rubenstein" instead of "Lloyd Blankfein"?" ---> "just because you'd screw people over if you'd get the chance, does not mean everyone else will." And if you think Blankfein gives a 1 hour interview on his role in the 2008 financial crisis, in which he present himself as a self made, altruistic average joe, after his company admits to wrongdoing by paying 5 bn and he was called out for fraud in front of the entire world, without any agenda, I feel sorry for you.

Then you didn't really know his name now, did you? :P Of course he had an agenda (everyone does for everything), but when it comes to the "content" of that agenda I withhold my judgment. It's an extremely complex system, and the easy conclusion is to believe in "the evil of bankers", but it's seldom the truth. At the very least, the reality is much more nuanced than that. To put things in perspective: the "housing bubble" gave the poorest americans the opportunity to buy houses they, by normal standards, never could afford, and if the bubble hadn't burst they would probably still live in them happily. With that being said, it was a bit too risky, but hindsight is 20/20! I have a very hard time believing that this settlement was an admittance btw. Most propably, it was solely the most monetary-effecient way of handling it, but that too is conjecture. In reality, we don't know anything more than that they agreed to the settlement. Either way, I don't live my life believing I'm being screwed by "the elite", which makes me much happier so I do not need your pity. Güten tag, mein Herr!

Well, not to come off as arrogant, but... hm... I've studied corporate finance on advanced level (I've got master's degree), and the overall economic system IS too complex to fully understand. Simply put: you try to do one thing and it ends up affecting something you never even considered. Also, people are ignorant/not educated enough. The system is built on the premise that people will act rationally and economically sane, but that's not true at all. Still, it's the "least bad" approach we have, and if you're financially educated you can use the system to work for you, which is partly why the rich get richer. Anyway, with such a complex system it's very hard to establish responsibility, which means it's very hard to prove innocence or blame! But yes, if Goldman Sachs and other banks were an instrument of philantropy they'd write off debts/loans/mortgages etc, but they're not. Every business, whether it's small or big, need to earn money to keep on operating, but that doesn't mean they're evil and willing to do _everything_ for a measly dollar. In theory. Of course some organizations and people are asshats and big banks are not "heaven on earth" filled with angels, but in analogy with what I said in the last paragraph: it's impractical to assume such a premise. I can appreciate the witch hunt in some sense, because you will help keep things in check, but at the end of the day I don't think I agree with you. Your world view seems to be too black and white. Finally, you're obviously not retarded haha! This is the internet! What we lack in non-verbal communication we make up for hyperbolism! With that being said, I was too hard on you! Entschuldigung!
