19. He was quoting from an email sent by a Goldman Sachs exec

to Sparks, another exec, sort of awed about how they had sold bad investments to investors. The email stated 'that was a shitty deal'. Levin wanted to know if they knew it was a 'shitty deal' when they sold it.

In his email, Montag remarked of the Timberwolf I deal, "Boy, that timeberwof was one shitty deal."

Levin used the word "shitty" 11 times -- eliciting multiple rounds of quiet giggles -- in questioning Dan Sparks, the former head of Goldman's mortgage department, about why Montag would describe it as "shitty," how long they had known it was "shitty," and whether they knew the deal was "shitty" when they peddled it to clients.
