&lt;p&gt;After enjoying a rather lengthy stretch of time without any (il)legal news, Goldman Sachs was back in headlines today due to one confirmed indiscretion and two additional alleged ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/dloos/folders/Jing/media/e2e5e0ec-cc26-4e9a-9636-86ed820ce302/00000101.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;293&quot; height=&quot;222&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Regarding the confirmed, it was revealed that Goldman was forced to pay a $650,000 fine for failling to disclose to Finra (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) that the Fabulous Fabrice Tourre and another Goldman employee had received word back in mid-2009 that they were the subject of an SEC investigation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By law, firms must notify Finra within 30 days of any investigation; Finra then posts the existence of the investigation in a &quot;data base that can be viewed by other regulators. Wall Street firms seeking to hire employees can also check the database.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Goldman only told regulators about the notices seven months after its employees received them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At a glance, it looks like Goldman&#39;s move to sidestep the law was, perhaps, a prosperous one. This past April, after the SEC filed its suit against Goldman, a media attack was launched upon the bank that turned out to be a PR nightmare and resulted in the firm&#39;s stock (both literal and metaphorical) to slide significantly. Had Goldman notified Finra within 30 days, as it was legally bound to, perhaps the media attack and stock slide would&#39;ve began much earlier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Along with the light slap, Goldman is also under investigation (as revealed in the bank&#39;s latest quarterly statement) for Abacus-like indiscretions involving two other CDOs. According to the new SEC lawsuit (via the ), &quot;Goldman engaged in [another] &#39;heads we win, tails you lose&#39; exercise, failing to disclose that the securities were structured by Goldman in such a way that Goldman would profit from its own short positions in subprime mortgages.&quot; To boot, Goldman also indicated that &quot;it expects to be the subject of additional litigation and regulatory and other investigations related to mortgage offerings, loan sales and CDO deals.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And if that wasn&#39;t enough, there&#39;s this: Jamie Dimon and Brian Moynihan both now have bragging rights over Lloyd Blankfein.&lt;/p&gt;
