I'm glad to see this is getting national coverage, but I knew about it months ago. There is a financial advisor by the name of Steve Cordasco who does a Saturday morning radio program in the Philadelphia area. One day he detailed all the key players and said Henry Paulson allowed Lehman Brothers to fail because they were Goldman Sachs biggest competitor. He would go off about Paulson all the time. What was really amusing was Steve does a daily market update for the radio station and the other day when he reported on Goldman Sachs huge profits, he sarcastically said "oh what a surprise."
