Goldman Sachs finds $5bn for staff
Goldman staff will benefit from almost half the investment bank’s first-quarter revenuesGoldman Sachs is expected to earmark about $5bn (£3bn) for staff pay and bonuses this week, days after being accused of securities fraud by the US regulators, fuelling the controversy over bankers’ rewards in the teeth of the financial crisis.Chief executive Lloyd Blankfein is expected to unveil revenues of $11bn for the first quarter of this year on Tuesday, up from $9.4bn in the same period of 2009. About 47% of that will go into a “compensation pool” for bosses and employees.The bank, along with Fabrice Tourre, one of its vice presidents, is the subject of a civil fraud complaint by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It denies the accusations and is understood to believe they are the result of a politically motivated witch-hunt ” timed to coincide with a drive by President Obama to get tough on banks, and to come just ahead of its results.The bank has been aware of the SEC’s investigation for two years but had not spoken to investigators since September 2009 and is thought to have been taken by surprise by last week’s events. Tourre has been interviewed by Goldman’s internal compliance department but is still employed by the bank and has not been suspended.Speculation over Blankfein’s future is seen by insiders as “silly”. However, the episode is likely to have incurred the ire of US investor Warren Buffett, who lost more than $1bn on paper in 24 hours on warrants held by his Berkshire Hathaway investment fund as Goldman shares plunged. Buffett endorsed the bank by loaning it $5bn at the height of the crisis at 10% interest.

Germany Vs. Goldman Sachs: Government Considering Legal Action Against Company
BERLIN — The German government may consider taking legal action in a case in which Goldman Sachs & Co. is accused of defrauding investors, a newspaper reported Saturday. The U.S. government alleges Goldman Sachs sold mortgage investments without telling buyers they were crafted with input from a client who was betting on them failing. Buyers included German bank IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG – an early victim of the financial crisis that was rescued by the state-owned KfW development bank among others. The Welt am Sonntag newspaper quoted Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman, UIrich Wilhelm, as saying that German regulator BaFin will ask the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for information. “After a careful evaluation of the documents, we will examine legal steps,” he said, according to the report. There was no immediate confirmation from the government. IKB spokeswoman Annette Littmann said the bank is aware of the charges filed by the SEC, but declined to comment further. The SEC says IKB lost nearly all its $150 million investment. IKB issued a profit warning in 2007, saying it had been hurt by U.S. subprime mortgage investments. IKB was sold in 2008 to Dallas-based Lone Star Funds. More on Germany.
