Rolling Stone story on GS.
"Over the last 15 years, through non-stop trading systems research and interviews with great traders, I have assembled the most unique trend following education available. My access to top traders has enabled me to teach trading rules found nowhere else and I pass those lessons along to students. My unique educational courses, which include proprietary trading systems, are designed to do one thing: give you the chance to make the big money."

Can anyone differentiate the difference between Madoff and GS and the reason why one man is sentenced 150years and the other business receives billions in TARP funds?

The only idea I have is that instead of Madoff pissing with the ol’boys in the clubhouse, he must’ve been pissing on their shoes.
