Altro pezzo del puzzle conferma che Goldman Sachs potrebbe essere più esposta di quanto vuole ammettere... Il New York Times riporta che AIG era il suo più grande trading partner, ed il suo collasso ha lasciato in Goldman un buco di 20 miliardi di dollari...

[...] Although it was not widely known, Goldman, a Wall Street stalwart that had seemed immune to its rivals’ woes, was A.I.G.’s largest trading partner, according to six people close to the insurer who requested anonymity because of confidentiality agreements. A collapse of the insurer threatened to leave a hole of as much as $20 billion in Goldman’s side, several of these people said.
[...]
Few knew of Goldman’s exposure to A.I.G. When the insurer’s flameout became public, David A. Viniar, Goldman’s chief financial officer, assured analysts on Sept. 16 that his firm’s exposure was “immaterial,” a view that the company reiterated in an interview.

Considerando che AIG è una delle assicuratrici di CDS, questo non dice nulla di buono su Goldman Sachs...
