近日,高盛“坑”了中石化的傳言滿天飛,12月27日中石化因巨額交易虧損,已暫停兩名高管的交易業務。總經理陳波和黨委書記詹麒近期因工作原因停職,由副總經理陳崗主持行政工作。聯化是中石化的子公司,成立于1993年,經營範圍包括四大板塊,即原油貿易、成品油貿易、LNG貿易及倉儲物流等國際石油貿易業務。
網上有傳言稱“聯化總經理陳波在原油價格70+的時候買漲原油期貨,據說買了3000—7000萬桶,給聯化虧了數十億美金。陳波被高盛忽悠了,高盛此前一路看漲油價。”
而在2014年,類似事件也曾在中航油身上發生過:時任中國航油總裁的陳久霖由于從事石油衍生品交易,在導致中航油總計虧損達5.5億美元(公司當時淨資産僅1.45億美元)之後,于2004年12月8日被新加坡警方逮捕。而造成中國航油巨額虧損的期權交易,就是高盛的子公司——傑瑞(J Aron)公司推銷給中國航油交易員繼瑞德(Gerard Rigby)的。當初,在出現賬面虧損時,陳九霖要求立即斬倉。但是,高盛卻建議“挪盤”。中國航油的兩次挪盤建議,都是高盛在陳九霖出差在外時提出的。“中國航油曾經將高盛告上了法庭。但在我入獄之後,這場官司不了了之。”
據人民日報報道,除了撂倒中航油之外,在中國遠洋、深南電、南方航空、東方航空、中國國航等企業從事海外期貨交易所發生的損失中,均離不開高盛這只“黑手”。不僅如此,高盛連中國的一些民營企業也不放過。
而在今日,一則海外媒體報道被翻出:
據Huffington Post文章報道,十一名索馬裏海盜近日在美國法庭招認其實他們是爲高盛(Goldman Sachs)工作的。
海盜們招認,其實他們的工作性質很簡單,就是強行攻擊那些和高盛已經做空的交易有關的船只,以從中獲利。海盜還表示他們的工作性質其實類似于投資銀行家,只不過沒有其它銀行部門的著裝要求。
海盜們承認,他們是在2008年下半年的時候和高盛合並的,此舉意在分到政府的救市金和享受銀行業(相對于海盜業來說)相對寬松的政府監管。
在海盜們招認這一事實後,檢方表示這個案子的情況被複雜化了,因爲如此一來從法律上來講這些海盜的身份就是銀行家,而且他們的行爲可以被理解爲金融操作,這使得給這些海盜治罪的任務變得異常艱難。
英文報道如下(原文鏈接爲https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_550586?ec_carp=719737554259523342):
Somali Pirates Say They Are Subsidiary of Goldman Sachs
NORFOLK, VIRGINIA (The Borowitz Report) – Eleven indicted Somali pirates dropped a bombshell in a U.S. court today, revealing that their entire piracy operation is a subsidiary of banking giant Goldman Sachs.
There was an audible gasp in court when the leader of the pirates announced, “We are doing God’s work. We work for Lloyd Blankfein.”
The pirate, who said he earned a bonus of $48 million in dubloons last year, elaborated on the nature of the Somalis’ work for Goldman, explaining that the pirates forcibly attacked ships that Goldman had already shorted.
“We were functioning as investment bankers, only every day was casual Friday,” the pirate said.
The pirate acknowledged that they merged their operations with Goldman in late 2008 to take advantage of the more relaxed regulations governing bankers as opposed to pirates, “plus to get our share of the bailout money.”
In the aftermath of the shocking revelations, government prosecutors were scrambling to see if they still had a case against the Somali pirates, who would now be treated as bankers in the eyes of the law.
“There are lots of laws that could bring these guys down if they were, in fact, pirates,” one government source said. “But if they’re bankers, our hands are tied.”
