Who would ever say such a thing? Well, it came from the lips of one who knows Wall Street via public broadcasting before the 2008 crash. I've been waiting for someone to voice the tale in print with similar candor.
It finally appeared April 20 in this column by Roger Lowenstein in the The New York Times.
In his column -- "Gambling With the Economy" -- Lowenstein makes note of the SEC charges against Goldman Sachs, and says those charges "go to the heart of how Wall Street has strayed from its intended mission."
