When Goldman Sachs announced second-quarter profits of $2.72 billion dollars after taking $10 billion in TARP money from the federal government, they certainly raised some awkward questions. For example: when is the treasury going to get it's money back? How can Goldman Sachs announce year-end bonuses in a crippling recession? Why do so many Goldman Sachs executives hold positions of power in relation to the White House?
LittleSis is undertaking an intensive research project to generate a database detailing the connections between key players at Goldman Sachs and big wigs in Washington. Our primary mission is to develop a comprehensive list of the revolving-door political appointments, profligate spending on lobbyists, and shady business deals behind the Goldman Sachs name.

attention analysts! you can now write notes to research groups -- once you join the group you can write a note to the group from its home page. we're hoping to facilitate communication between analysts working on the same research project (such as the Obama group, which is delving deep into White House visitor logs.) Other groups include the health care investigative unit, the goldman sachs squad, the bay area research group, and the chamber group. |
