The bank has instructed Wall Street law firm Chadbourne & Parke to pursue blogger Mike Morgan, warning him in a recent cease-and-desist letter that he may face legal action if he does not close down his website.

Florida-based Mr Morgan began a blog entitled "Facts about Goldman Sachs" – the web address for which is goldmansachs666.com – just a few weeks ago.

1. Oh, no! The "top talent" doesn't wanta be talked about!

Yet GS guys blather on and on about how smart and too big to fail they are. When someone shows up with some facts - whoa Nellie!

Good luck, Mr. Morgan. We need people like you.

4. Title is a bit misleading: they are not yet taking him to court.....

Cease & Desist letter from a big bad law firm is a typical attempt to intimidate--but just an idle threat at this point.

8. The Telegraph is a notoriously unreliable news source

5. Free publicity for Mike....Priceless.

6. if he isn't telling lies,

why should he shut down the site? ahh...because he's telling truths?

7. from the website they want to shut up:

Disclosure: Yes, I am short Goldman Sachs stock. I believe this company is evil and should not exist. We need to begin to break up companies that have as much control over world finances as Goldman Sachs.

i'm not "short Goldman Sachs stock." i don't think i know what that means...but the second two statements above i do agree with completely.

11. "Goldman runs wall street. And wall street runs the country."

From the website. I agree.

12. Boo Hoo-the BIG BABIES of Wall Street don't want anyone connecting the dots about their crimes!

Go Mike & anyone who speaks the truth about these criminals! :woohoo:

14. I think they are afraid that the blogger may be trying to manipulate their stock prices

for his own benefit. Everyone knows that is only for wall street insiders, and Bill Frist.
