Lance Armstrong Investigation: Lance and Landis Competing Again

More to the Goldman Sachs VP's Story

Earlier this year, a VP at Goldman Sachs, Greg Smith, resigned and published his resignation letter in the New York Times. In his letter he laid out claims that Goldman's business model is to consciously rip off their clients. 60 Minutes recently did a story on Smith and interviews him along with numerous other individuals.
