If you remember, this is where Timothy Geithner came from and partially explains why nothing has been done.
Wall Street is about to be rocked by secretly recorded audio tapes that purport to show a too-cozy relationship between the New York Federal Reserve Bank and the financial institutions it is supposed to regulate.
The 45 hours of tapes, made by Carmen Segarra, a former NY Fed worker, capture former co-workers, whose job was to keep banks like Goldman Sachs in line, instead deferring to the banks, being unwilling to take action and being extremely passive, according to public radio’s “This American Life,” and ProPublica which obtained the tapes and is scheduled to air a program about the matter Friday night.
The tin foil hat people must be feeling pretty good right now with chants of "We told ya so".
The banksters run the country. The two parties in America are just different sides of the same dirty coin.
And they spew their propaganda that voting for any party other then D or R is "throwing away your vote".
The sheeple will be sucked dry of any money they have.

You mean Tax Cheat Timmy wasn't all about Hope and Change?!?!
Mean while Obama campaigns against trickle down economics while instituting more trickle down economics than any president in US history -- directly to the big banks through his support of QE and only picking FED nominees that support QE.
We keep hearing about earth shattering evidence that will prove that Obama is a Muslim or a Kenyan, and the earth never gets shattered. Now they have tapes that will "rock Wall Street". If they have tapes just release them already. Stop talking about it. I'll be rocked if and when I get to hear them.

We know that Blankfein lied under oath and the government shrugged so yeah, nobody will likely care what is on the tapes.

"I'm going to lose this entire case," Silva says, "because of your fixation on whether they do or don't have a policy. Why can't we just say they have basic pieces of a policy but they have to dramatically improve it?"

The article I posted seemed to have a link to some excerpts.
Hillary had tapped Jon corzine, Goldman luminary, to be head of the treasury if she won the presidental election.
biden said he and Obama turned to Corzine when they sought an economic solution. The treasury dept was filled with GS alum.
Remember the Dodd bill? It was doscovereed at the last minute someone had put in a clause to ensure the AIG bonuses were given out. Dodd had no idea how that got into his bill. then it was reveale3d the treasury dept put it in the legislation...without Dodd's knowledge....RIGHT! A straw dog for Obama to fire at.
where was the media when all this was reported. This is the kind of unethical behavior that any journalist worth his salt would pounce on.
Do not forget the role of the media in allowing all the nefarious behavior by Obama's chosen Goldman saturated treasury dept.
That's the same obama who was going to rid the government of wall st influence and lobbyists. So while it is business as usual under obama the glaring lie that he was going to sweep the government clean is the stuff that makes journalistic careers and reveals obama as an intentional liar and cheap shill he is. The silence is deafening.

One reason why the silence is deafening:
ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, National Security Adviser.
CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.
ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama’s Deputy Press Secretary.
ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama’s Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood.
CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.
Re: Obama and how his presidency has played out:
He ran on transparency, changing the "politics as usual" playbook, ending wars, diminishing the influence of lobbyists yada yada yada we'll all live happily ever after.
Millions of people desperately needed a change after Bush. They BELIEVED him. They believed in what Obama said. They believed that this would be a whole, new, more honest and open and transparent government, and that this new black president was the transformational and compelling character who would make it happen.
Obama lied. He lied to everyone. His people lied to everyone. His presidency has turned into a cynical caraciture of all those empty promises. Obama squandered away every chance he ever had to be what he deceptively promised to be.
