Goldman Sachs Exec’s Trump Tirade Costs Him Spain & Portugal Gig
Alvaro del Castano, a Goldman Sachs veteran since 1993 and fresh cohead for Spain and Portugal this year, is exiting ‘in the coming months’ after Bloomberg spilled that he anonymously slammed Donald Trump’s 'poor manners' and Spain’s PM Pedro Sánchez on a Spanish news site without telling his masters. Goldman only found out **after** Bloomberg asked them (classic corporate surprise!). TheObjective deleted the articles faster than you can say 'morally questionable nature,' and Goldman’s PR tried the old ‘excellent 30-plus-year career’ and ‘looking forward to working with him’ routine, which in banker-speak means 'write your exit papers.'

Goldman Sachs just learned their lead exec is basically an anonymous Twitter troll for Spain and Trump burns. Pro tip: if you want to stay at Goldman, don’t post op-eds calling your secret VIPs 'morally questionable.'
Nothing says ‘I’m ready to retire’ like calling the U.S. president self-centered and the Spanish PM out of line, then pretending the firm never heard about it until Bloomberg shouted louder.
Goldman Sachs: where decades of service can be erased in months for getting a little too honest on the internet *and* awkward PR responses have never sounded so rehearsed.
