Goldman Sachs' Spoof Memo In <em>The New Yorker</em>

Goldman Sachs' Spoof Memo In

Ever wish you could be a fly on the wall at a Goldman Sachs board meeting? The New Yorker has come up with a hilarious spoof of a Goldman internal memo.

The piece purports to comes directly from CEO Lloyd Blankfein's desk. Here, he cautions against openly celebrating Goldman's massive profits:

"Wanting to celebrate our renewed success is natural, but it's important that we don't go crazy here. Remember, ten per cent of the non-bank country is unemployed, and even those who are working have "real" jobs, where payment is proportional to the creation of a "product" or a "service." Those poor bastards."

Faux-Blankfein also suggests: "For now, let's take down the giant scoreboard that reads 'Main Street: zero. Wall Street: a billion gazillion bajillion.'"
