      Goldman Sachs Lost 98% of Libya's $1.3B Sovereign Wealth Fund Investment

      Goldman Sachs Lost 98% of Libya's $1.3B Sovereign Wealth Fund Investment
      http://www.forbes.com/sites/afontevecchia/2011/05/31/goldman-sachs-lost-98-of-libyas-1-3b-sovereign-wealth-fund-investment/
      Goldman Sachs was among the many U.S. banks managing money for Gadhafi's Libya, but, the revered investment bank lost approximately 98% of the country's investment.


      As civil war roars on in Libya and Colonel Muammar Gadhafi vows to remain in power, reports surfaced that the Northern African country entrusted $1.3 billion through its sovereign wealth fund to Goldman Sachs in 2007, of which the investment bank lost approximately 98%, sparking the ire of Libyan officials.

      The fascinating drama includes Goldman offering Libya preferred equity and debt which could’ve made it one of the investment bank’s largest shareholders during the onset of the crisis, as well as intimidation and violent threats by Libyan officials....

        The IMF and World Bank already visited the country before the war was even over . Trying to drown Libya into debts already.

          Reminds me very much of Hayastan. People had a lot to be thankful for in the soviet days but never realized it untill it was all gone. I think the libian rebel leaders know full well they have sscrewd their country and are planing to sscrew it way harder now.

            Let's see what NATO accomplished....


            Libyan infrastructure destroyed? CHECK

            Backwards extremists given control of government? CHECK

            Millions of dollars wasted and stolen? CHECK

            Tens of thousands of lives ended? CHECK


            Mission accomplished!!!

              This is purely academic.

              An interesting interview with Gaddafi in 1979.

                  Rebels are just some backwards criminals, at least under Gadaffi there was rule of law, stability, and high life quality.

                      Whilst the Libyans need a strongman to keep then in line. No way was Gaddafi some kind of a popular leader.
