But some rivals point to the fact that Goldman had uncharacteristically piled into contracts with a single counterparty. "I am shocked that Goldman had this much exposure ," says an analyst at a competing bank. "This was a major failing, but they got bailed."

Among the biggest beneficiaries of the AIG pass-through, at $12.9 billion, was Goldman Sachs, the investment-banking house that has been the single largest supplier of financial talent to the government. Critics have been quick to note — and not favorably — the almost uncanny influence of former Goldman executives.

Hmmm... It's not really shocking if the scheme with AIG was hatched as a way to recoup their losses (aka raid the U.S. Treasury).
