Goldman Sachs Top Lawyer Resigns After Epstein Emails
📰 What Happened
Kathryn Ruemmler will step down as top lawyer at Goldman Sachs at the end of June. Her decision came after news stories showed she had friendly email talks with Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was a convicted sex offender who died in 2019.
💡 Why It Matters
This shows that ties to Jeffrey Epstein can still hurt careers years later. Goldman Sachs had defended Ruemmler for months, but the attention became too much. She was a key advisor to the bank's CEO.
🔮 What Happens Next
Goldman Sachs will need to find a new top lawyer before Ruemmler leaves in June. The bank has not said who might take her place.
