Well functioning by what metrics? To make money? No doubt Goldman sachs does that. But making money often has the incentive of ignoring ethics .. which is what this thread was about. Would they ignore ethics to make more money?

So here, would they synchronize announcing big things in relation to the hottest and most risky investment there is right now?

"what motivated them to announce this a few weeks before trading starts?"

Questioning the assumption that Goldman Sachs is a shiny example of ethics in this world.
