On April 20, 2010, the BP oil catastrophe explodes onto the headlines.

Just a couple weeks beforehand, on March 31, 2010, Goldman Sachs quietly sells 43.7% of it's shares in BP....

Weren't these the same guys that were shorting mortgage-related securities in another headlining event?

Kinda like Carl Malden always being around when someone lost their American Express travelers checks....

Sssshhhh.

You're not supposed to talk about crazy conspiracy theories like that around here.

After all if Goldman were to be found guilty of any misdoings (which they never will) then numbnuts around here like KKK would blow a gasket trying to explain why the Barry Soetoro administration has more connections to Goldman Sachs than Rupert Murdoch at an AIPAC fundraiser.

What's probably even more interesting than Goldman selling 44% of their BP shares prior to the disaster is Wachovia and UBS dumping 98% and 97% of their shares of BP during the first quarter before the spill.
