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?
