I wouldn't be surprised if Goldman is short Greek debt either.
There has been many occasions where they go directly against their clients interests.

I wonder if they brokered any long securities or derivatives on Greek debt to clients in the last few years?

Of all things...Congress should hold hearings into how/where GS has performed these services...(yes, include the US)...instead they want a company president to come in and testify, through a translator, about some engineering problem that, technically, he knows nothing about.

We are living witnesses to the birth of the final cleptocracy. Our democratic origins, profoundly rooted in Greece, have become so perverted by the tyranny of greed that America has moved beyond the tipping point, and will die not with a bang but a bankruptcy,

GS is a disgrace to capitalism and our country. It's a travesty that they continue to operate unscathed while the rest of the world suffers. They are not only too big to fail, they are too big to fight.
