How much you want to bet he's winds up running his own fund or firm?
He's going to be just another Goldman spinoff.

office before he even wrote the article (the one's he references in his article).
The guy doesn't sound like a fool. Goldman Sachs has even more shit hidden, Greg Smith knows it. I suspect if Goldman goes after Smith he'll simply unleash the emails detailing the truly illegal stuff as well (beyond the moral scolding).
