Scrutiny? The article is pretty weak on real scrutiny. It's not quite a whitewash, but it's definitely limp when it comes to hammering the bottom line:

The "ties" described by the article would be better described as symbiosis between regulatory bodies and Goldman Sachs designed to maximize wealth for Goldman Sachs to the detriment of the public. Everyone knew that Goldman Sachs owned most of the politicians and regulatory groups before. This article puts forth a few more pieces of evidence, to nail the coffin shut. Cue apologists denying that these are established facts.

Why is this corruption tolerated?
