Rubin, another "smartest guy in the room" turns out, like the rest of the Goldman lackies, to be the dumbest guy in the room. I found this to be telling:
Asked then whether he had made any mistakes during his tenure at Citigroup, he offered a tentative response... “I’ve thought a lot about that,” he said. “I honestly don’t know. In hindsight, there are a lot of things we’d do differently. But in the context of the facts as I knew them and my role, I’m inclined to think probably not.”
What arrogance. Not only does he not think he did anything wrong, but he doesn't even think he made any mistakes.
I don’t know how dumb he is. He made $100s of millions of dollars while working there.
