You know Coleman -- its client calls a Muppets -- -- -- this is now investigating this as well as we are early reported.
Whether it -- whether there was any malicious -- talk in emails here is what we know.
Goldman is it people close to Goldman tells the for a couple of -- Would you fight that they cannot -- are -- this story that 98%.
Of the email and hopefully and that's referred to the movie.
Sources at Goldman also safe to use our and the delicious -- use -- emails.
Involves name calling among colleagues.
Apparently at Goldman nickel which -- them up that's a bad thing.
The sources close to go let's say the firm finds no evidence so far.
To substantiates -- its claims that's people were talking about clients and -- let's screw these clients or Muppets it's mostly name calling.
And the movie we should point out that Goldman we we understand is still trying to contact mr.
Smith.
As he continued since its investigations into his eyes allegations which.
You know broadly speaking was not just about Muppets it was about that Goldman takes advantage of its clients and very unfair way -- get a whole lot better about it -- got a one point five million dollar book deal.
Smith has not contacted -- from a -- -- -- or from we understand as of I would say late yesterday who knows maybe call this morning as big as they understand.
He hasn't he hasn't make contact with them.
We should point out that.
One of the interest -- things about this book -- getting back that book at one point five million or something like that we we're you know we're really -- we were talking about them were very gentle side and I someone I am.
Who doesn't make that much on those.
Bomb that some publishers balked at it because it was a lack of details.
He was particularly in the way he came across is that he was on prepared for the sort of that the other thing what you members op -- went viral break in a huge name is -- prepared and it's not really prepared to write a book.
It Christine now I thought if you make one point five you've got you know all sorts of stuff would you like to avoid blank -- Gary Cohn at you know.
You know in Bangkok and it's at a sex that -- Mike that's not what I understand.
They were.
He was pretty light on the details it was mostly the comp we do you can't have one point five million dollars and -- about -- he's got something up from what I understand and I know people that were close involved in in what was you know he he spoke with.
It was not that detailed this was designed so what are -- paying them for.
Well the pain and listen eat you know the pain of what you -- -- -- I think his agent came back and said you know we can give you more.
But I think what startle some people was the lack of detail and there were also paying for listen he's probably gonna get a sixty minutes piece out of it.
He's gonna get an initial pop out of it because it was so much publicity.
I'm sure the New York Times afternoon doing in the huge favor of remember how they ran that topic it was between the two biggest -- of the week Thomas Friedman.
And boring doubt it was right in the middle prominently the New York Times -- probably do an excerpt.
You know would they be in the built them up to -- -- my so called all the way he's gonna get he's gonna either sell some books there's no doubt now how many doesn't equal would -- I can't tell you but I can tell you.
That in those conversations.
The details it wasn't like he came to them -- a proposal that's the one thing that we understand yeah there was no formal proposal.
It was essentially conversations.
-- anyway but anyway Goldman Sachs continues to -- 98% of the emails referring to the movie was an excellent -- yeah.
Give kids family and I similarly at what times I think I think it's a good thing that I have not seen with whom you love it.
Our -- try Gasparino thanks so much to get ready.
