Goldman Sachs partners are leaving — some 202 during David Solomon's five years as CEO by Insider's calculation. In particular, before Solomon, Goldman nurtured many fiefs and then spread the wealth from the most successful ones across the firm. Of the former Goldman executives that Insider interviewed, here are the most cited reasons they gave for leaving Goldman. When both men struggled, senior partners left, and Goldman stumbled in its efforts to wind down its balance-sheet investments. Goldman Sachs partners are paid well by any standard: $950,000 in base salary and often multiples of that in annual bonuses.

A Bloomberg report did not say former U.S. President Barack Obama was late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s “middle man,” despite online posts that misrepresent the article on revelations from court filings by JPMorgan Chase and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A post on messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter, said: “BREAKING: President Obama has been named as Jeffrey Epstein’s middle man to JP Morgan according to Bloomberg” (here). Some posts link to an Aug. 16 Bloomberg report with the headline, “Epstein Tapped JPMorgan to Help Goldman Lawyer Open Account” (here). The report mentions a “former Obama White House lawyer,” but it does not name Obama as Epstein’s so-called “middle man” to JPMorgan.

Goldman Sachs paid more than $12 million to a former female partner to settle claims that senior executives created a hostile environment for women, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.

Top Goldman lawyer Kathy Ruemmler said in a statement to CNBC that the firm disputed the Bloomberg article. The New York-based bank declined to comment beyond its statement or answer questions about whether it had paid the $12 million settlement.

The company also named a record number of female and black partners this year, according to the Financial Times.
