Questions for discussion:
- Summarize the legal and ethical problems facing Goldman?
- Do you believe the firm will be punished financially even more than it already has as the case progresses?
- What message does this case send to other firms?
- Is there a any commonality between the problems faced by Goldman and BP, after the oil rig disaster?
