Yesterday, state and federal officials announced a $5.1 billion settlement with Goldman Sachs, resolving accusations that the bank behaved irresponsibly in the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis. But, the New York Times reports, the deal’s fine print reveals that number may ultimately be much lower.
“They appear to have grossly inflated the settlement amount for P.R. purposes to mislead the public, while in the fine print, enabling Goldman Sachs to pay 50 to 75 percent less,” Better Markets founder Dennis Kelleher told the Times.
Rabbi David Cohen allegedly was part of a 20-year conspiracy to steal from the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty. Cohen pleaded guilty to Grand Larceny in the First Degree (a class B felony) but the generous AG has now allowed Cohen to withdraw his plea and plead instead to Grand Larceny in the Third Degree (a class D felony).

Hurrah for Cuomo who is now open to changing the “delete it before anyone can FOIL it” policy of getting rid of official NY state government emails before they can cause any trouble.
