Goldman Sachs Top Lawyer Resigns After Epstein Ties

📰 What Happened

Kathy Ruemmler quit her job as the top lawyer at Goldman Sachs on Thursday. Emails showed she had close ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was a wealthy man who went to prison for sex crimes. Ruemmler met with Epstein many times even after he was convicted.

💡 Why It Matters

This matters because Goldman Sachs is one of the biggest banks in the world. A top leader at the bank had a friendship with a known criminal. This raises questions about who big companies choose as leaders. It shows that past actions can catch up with powerful people.

🔮 What Happens Next

Goldman Sachs will need to find a new top lawyer. The bank will likely review its policies about who its leaders can associate with.
