Greg Smith, who resigned from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. with a March 14 opinion piece criticizing the firm’s treatment of clients, told “60 Minutes” that he doesn’t think he betrayed the bank.
“I don’t view it as a betrayal,” Smith said in a portion of the interview released by CBS Corp. before the program airs Oct. 21. “I actually think the leaders of Goldman Sachs today don’t have the long-run interests of the institution at heart. The idea of the op-ed was not to do any destruction.”
