PrintTraders at Goldman Sachs are cleaning up more than just their business practices.
All employees at the Wall Street investment bank have been notified they can no longer use profanity in their e-mails, The Wall Street Journal said today.
The company-wide edict comes after internal e-mails in which traders described sub-prime mortgage deals using X-rated language became a PR nightmare during congressional hearings.
Some mortgages were sold to the public as good investments while e-mails described them as "s--t" deals.

Typical, make the trivial important and the important trivial. Continue to lie steal and bribe. Bankrupt an entire county in Alamana with bribes to do rate swaps for a sewer that ended up costing billions, hide the debt of Greece, destroy the middle class, but don't say SH--.

No wonder Wall St.'s in the mess it is. Instead of professional money-managers, there were a bunch of street gang kids watching the store.

So let me get this straight. They can think the deal is a piece of sh*t, they can talk to each other about the sh*tty deal they are sloffing off on suckers but when it comes to e-mail, they have to talk about the sh*tty deal (their own words) as "a wonderful opportunity for investment".
C'mon guys, we're not THAT stupid!

Goldman-Sachs, the same firm that is paying for Obama and co to get elected and re-elected.
