Swear Words are Out at Goldman Sachs; Wily Trader is 'Ticked Off”



Bollocks!

New York – The Wall Street Journal reports today that investment bank Goldman Sachs has issued a ban on profanity in firm communications. The ban follows embarassing e-mails released during an SEC investigation earlier this year that had senior Goldmanites describing a transaction as a “sh**ty deal.” The restriction has hit the firm's sweaty, money-grubbing traders especially hard. One veteran trader commented after getting raped on a transaction, “fiddlesticks! Soddin' fiddlesticks!”

A Goldman Sachs representative noted, “those who are unable to comply will find their tenure at the firm curtailed. It is in our best interest to keep those bow-wows at the SEC assuaged in order to continue fuc – I mean, serving our clients.” It is expected other firms will follow Goldman's lead.
