The Real Housewives of Goldman Sachs

Recently
by Matt Taibbi: Why
Was Goldman Invited to the AIG Bailout Party?
Laura Blankfein
and her friend Susan Friedman, wife of another Goldman honcho,
Richard Friedman, caused a huge scene at Super Saturday in the
Hamptons last weekend when they arrived at the event before the
noon start time and balked at waiting in line with the other ticket-holders.
“Their
behavior was obnoxious. They were screaming,” said one witness.
Blankfein said she wouldn’t wait with “people who spend
less money than me.”

SACHS WIVES LAURA BLANKFEIN AND SUSAN FRIEDMAN MAKE SCENE ON LINE
IN HAMPTONS – New York Post.
I can’t
believe I didn’t see this before. Laura Blankfein going mental
over having to wait on line at a charity dinner… this is like
the most awesome thing ever. I can just imagine her the next morning,
complaining to Lloyd while shining his head with Turtle Wax before
he goes off to work.
Meanwhile this
is more recent news, apparently:
Police in
East Hampton, N.Y., arrested the wife of longtime Goldman Sachs
hedge fund guru Ray Iwanowski for drunk driving, according to
The New York Post.
Jane Iwanowski,
48, crashed her BMW into a tree in July. A police report stated
an intoxicated Iwanowski “was unable to walk or stand,”
when questioned while at a hospital.
Fun times in
the fast lane!
