GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INVESTIGATION INITIATED by Former Louisiana Attorney General: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates the Officers and Directors of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. - GS

Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS).

Since at least 2016, the Company has been the subject of investigations by the U.S. Justice Department regarding a multibillion-dollar fraud and money-laundering scheme involving a Malaysian government fund, 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), for which the Company was the primary bond underwriter. On November 2, 2018, U.S. federal prosecutors unsealed indictments against two of the Company's former managing directors, Tim Leissner and Roger Ng, related to the probe that explicitly described them as "agents acting within the scope of their employment on behalf of" the Company "with the intent, at least in part, to benefit" the bank. On November 8, 2018, a report by Bloomberg (News - Alert) detailed the personal involvement of the Company's then-CEO Lloyd Blankfein in a meeting to establish ties with Malaysia and its new sovereign wealth fund that was referenced inthe court documents unsealed the prior week.

KSF's investigation is focusing on whether Goldman Sachs' officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to Goldman Sachs' shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
