Question 9:
 
In the article of “The SEC v. Goldman Sachs_ Reputation Trust and Fiduciary Duties”, Solomon, Morison, and Wilhelm Jr. (2012) describe the controversial involvement of Goldman Sachs in a mortgage-backed securities deal in 2006. When this involvement was revealed, the capital market reacted negatively: Goldman Sachs’ share price closed down more than 13% on the day, and the market value fell overnight about $10 billion. This was far more than any fine that might have been imposed. Please explain.
