NYSE fines Goldman $450,000

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- NYSE Regulation and the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Tuesday fined a unit of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. $450,000 for
failing to abide by trading regulations. The NYSE found that from early December
2008 to the late January 2009 Goldman Sachs Execution & Clearing L.P. violated
rules by failing to timely close out fail-to-deliver positions in stocks,
accepting short sale positions that had not been timely closed out without first
pre-borrowing the stocks, and by failing to let some customers know that it had
open fail-to-deliver positions in some stocks that had not been timely closed
out. While neither admitting nor denying its guilt, the Goldman unit consented to
the penalty and the NYSE's findings.
