FT reports that Goldman Sachs sold $2billion in notes yesterday before the announcement of stress test results:

“…pushing the boundaries of the bank’s agreements with regulators to keep the outcome of the tests confidential. Corporate governance experts questioned Goldman’s timing. “It is an odd day to raise debt. Out of an abundance of caution, Goldman should have waited until all material information was in the public domain,” said Charles Elson, director of the corporate governance centre at the University of Delaware.”

Think the government will punish their Goldman boy?
