Top Goldman Sachs lawyer Kathy Ruemmler to resign over Epstein links

Source: Financial Times

Published19 minutes ago


Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathy Ruemmler will resign this summer after documents released by the US Department of Justice revealed the extent of her ties with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Ruemmler told the FT that she would exit the Wall Street firm on June 30, saying: “I made the determination that the media attention on me, relating to my prior work as a defence attorney, was becoming a distraction.”

Her decision comes after documents showed she held extensive discussions with Epstein between 2014 and 2019, long after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to state charges of soliciting prostitution from a minor. Ruemmler joined Goldman in 2020.

Goldman chief executive David Solomon has stood by Ruemmler since her close association with Epstein first emerged in 2023. He said in a statement on Thursday that she “will be missed”.

And I assume with a significant golden parachute.
Absolutely vulgar how we are cuddling this vile pieces of shit that empowered and likely participated in the kidnapping, torture, rape and murder of children.
