A commissioner at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) accused Goldman Sachs of perpetuating a corporate culture that tolerates repeated violations of the agency’s rules.
Christy Goldsmith Romero issued a concurring statement in response to the agency’s $30 million fine levied against Goldman Sachs on Sept. 29 for swaps reporting violations.

“As a longstanding federal enforcement official, I am significantly concerned that Goldman is a repeat defendant in federal enforcement cases,” Goldsmith Romero said. “Goldman has a long history of violating federal laws, getting caught, and then settling with federal agencies.”
