SEC's Fraud Accusation Against Goldman Sachs

You can read the SEC allegation here.

It's filled with jargon but essentially, the story goes, Goldman Sachs a) sold a CBO to two European banks, b) without telling them that the investments which the CBO contained were selected by a hedge fund which c) would be paid out by insurance money (credit default swap) should that CBO fail.

A large part of the case revolves around this pitch book concerning the alleged fraudulent investment.
