Goldman Sachs Charged With Hiring Prostitute For Middle Eastern Client



Goldman Sachs executive Youssef Kabbaj paid for Haitem Zarti to fly business class to Dubai, put him up at a five-star hotel and paid £425 for a night with two women, to impress his brother Mustafa (right, next to Saif al Islam, General Gaddafi's son).

[From article]
The prostitute who was allegedly hired by a Goldman Sachs banker to sleep with a Middle Eastern client has been identified as a 25-year-old Russian who earns £500,000 a year.
The hooker, known only as Michella, is said to have been booked by Goldman Sachs executive Youssef Kabbaj in a bid to impress a Libyan investor before securing a deal.
An advert for her online reads: 'I have sexy shapes and great appetite for naughty games.'
She featured in a High Court case this week where the Libyan investment Authority is claiming £846million from Goldman Sachs after a series of disastrous trades made in 2008.
It claims Goldman abused a relationship of trust and took advantage of 'naïve and vulnerable' funds officials to persuade them to invest.
It was alleged in court that Mr Kabbaj paid for his contact Haitem Zarti to fly business class to Dubai, put him up at a five-star hotel and paid £425 for a night with two women.
He was under pressure to impress Mr Zarti's older brother Mustafa, a senior official with the Gaddafi-era Libyan Investment Authority (LIA), the High Court heard.
One of those women was named as Michella, and there is only one sex worker by that name in Dubai at the time, according to the Sun.
She charges the same rates as were quoted in court and advertises herself as 'an appealing young lady.'


The hooker, known only as Michella, is said to have been booked by Goldman Sachs executive Youssef Kabbaj in a bid to impress a Libyan investor before securing a deal.

An online advert on an escort website read: 'I am Michella, very appealing young lady.
'I am often complimented I am very beautiful with angelic smile.
'I have amazing refined body with sexy shapes.
'I am tender, very passionate and I am, guilty of having great appetite for naughty games.
'I love romantic and sensual dates, unforgettable moments, hours full of passion where all fantasies become real.'
Last night Michella was approached by a reporter for the Sun who showed her a pictured of Mr Kabbaj.
She said: 'Even if we met I don’t remember what happened eight years ago.
'I have five clients every day so you can count how many it is for eight years.'
In a statement earlier this week Mr Kabbaj said: 'Goldman Sachs or myself never paid for any LIA employee any improper entertainment.
'At the time of the event, I was one out of 5,000 vice-presidents of the firm.
'All my expenses relating to LIA have been reimbursed and signed off by at least two Goldman Sachs partners.
'I am under a strong confidentiality agreement but I expect Goldman Sachs to correct the facts and protect my reputation.'
Goldman Sachs denies wrongdoing. The case continues.

Obama Loves Goldman Sachs

[From Article]
"While President Obama assails the culture of greed and recklessness practiced by the men of Goldman Sachs, his administration is infested with them. The White House can no more disown Government Sachs than Obama can disown Chicago politics."

Nepotism Lives

[From article]

Less than two years after graduating from Harvard University, Lloyd Blankfein's son, Alex, fetched a hefty $155,000 in compensation last year,[. . .]

Among those with family members working at the bank are CFO David Viniar, whose stepdaughter pocketed $225,000 in 2009, up from $150,000 a year earlier. In-house lawyer Esta Stecher, whose son earned $200,000 for 2009, made $124,000 a year earlier."

Geithner Represents the Banks


"You'll see why taxpayers sense something is very wrong about this story, and rightly so. As we're now learning by the day, Goldman nearly bankrupted AIG in the fall of 2008 -- much as YRC's credit default holders almost bankrupt that company last month. The key difference is that in AIG's case, the taxpayer was left holding the bag, while Goldman and AIG live to trade another day.

But it gets worse. Not only did AIG pay off those contracts to Goldman and a dozen other banks to the tune of 100 cents on the dollar -- or a remarkable $62 billion -- Geithner's NY Fed insisted AIG cross out any reference to the full price of the payout. As e-mails released by Congress last week show, the idea was to keep the public in the dark. The final cost to taxpayers from the AIG rescue -- $182 billion, or about half of the entire US defense budget."
