The SEC formally charged Goldman Sachs with defrauding investors out of a billion dollars in a sub-prime mortgage CDO (collateralized-debt obligation). Essentially, Goldman sold a complex financial product to its customers with a hidden secret: it had a backdoor that allowed a bigger customer (a hedge fund named Paulson & Co.) to secretly replace the good assets in the product with bad ones.
Does this signal a reversal in the titanic life and death struggle between nation-states and the global financial oligarchy? No. The amount of lawfare needed to reverse the course of this war before sovereign defaults litter the battlefield is immense: thousands of trials, trillions in assessed damages, and tens of thousands sent to jail. Even that might not be enough without a long campaign of financial COIN to pacify and disassemble the too-big-to-fail banks and hedge funds. ;->
