The abacus case had called into question the integrity of Wall Street after the commission alleged Goldman had packaged up mortgages into abacus and then sold the CDO to investors without telling them one of its powerful clients, the hedge fund Paulson, had been taking a trading position intended to profit from a fall in the value of US house prices.
In the humiliating settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Goldman accepted the largest fine in the commission's history and accepted that the marketing materials it issued to investors for the abacus transaction at the heart of the regulator's case gave "incomplete information".
