October 5, 2008 (LPAC)--Within one hour of the U.S. Congress's approval of his bail-out package, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson began hiring as many as 10 private sector asset-management companies to start feeding the pigs at the trough, Bloomberg reported Oct. 4. To head the transition team, Paulson has already hired former Goldman Sachs executive Edward Forst, who was at Goldman Sachs with Paulson for a decade, from 1998 until the summer of 2008, when he left his post as the global head of the Investment Management Division of Goldman Sachs, for a really nasty job: he was named First Executive Vice President of Harvard University! At the end of 2007, Goldman Sachs gave Forst a year-end bonus of $16.5 million--a mere pittance compared to the $53.4 million for chief executive Lloyd Blankfein.
