Washington, DC, United States (AHN) - The Securities and Exchange Commission sued Goldman Sachs Friday, accusing the bank of securities fraud related to collateralized debt obligations (CDO).
The SEC alleges that Goldman Sachs did not disclose vital information to investors about CDOs and the role that a hedge fund played in the selection process of portfolios that made up the investments.
“The product was new and complex but the deception and conflicts are old and simple," said Robert Khuzami, director of the Division of Enforcement, in a statement.
"Goldman wrongly permitted a client that was betting against the mortgage market to heavily influence which mortgage securities to include in an investment portfolio, while telling other investors that the securities were selected by an independent, objective third party," added Khuzami.
According to the SEC, Goldman Sachs received compensation from Paulson & Co., a large scale hedge fund, to provide the opportunity of shorting select mortgage securities chosen by the fund.
Basically, Paulson & Co. participated in the portfolio selection process that made up a mortgage backed security; then went on to bet against the securities through credit default swaps.
In the suit, the SEC names Fabrice Touree, a Goldman Sachs vice president, who assisted in creating the CDOs.
