Goldman Not Preparing for Revolution, After All
Last week, Bloomberg News columnist Alice Schroeder suggested that panicky Goldman Sachs bankers were "loading up on firearms" in the event a "populist uprising" broke out. But that's not the case, you'll be relieved to hear:
New York police spokesman Paul J. Browne says that their records show only four Goldman employees have applied for gun permits in recent years—and the last application was made in 2003. That application, by the firm's head of security for a "carry permit", was granted. The only other employee granted a NYPD "carry permit" is a building security guard. It was issued prior to 2003, said a police spokesman.
