Banker Tweets cause alarm at Goldman


First the media world was set ablaze last week by @CondeElevator, a now-discontinued Twitter account that posted overheard snippets from the elevator bank at Condé Nast’s Times Square headquarters. (Example: “Girl: Omigod I love your dress so much I wish there was a ‘like’ button I could press.”)

To fill the void left by @CondeElevator, several other elevator-themed Twitter accounts have sprouted up, including @GSElevator, an account that purports to dish the dirt on what happens inside the elevators at Goldman Sachs.

The creator of @GSElevator agreed to be interviewed over e-mail, provided we protect his or her anonymity. (We at DealBook have our hunches, but we’ll keep them to ourselves.) As we’ve seen this summer, it’s not easy to remain an anonymous finance blogger, but we tip our hat to you, sir or madam, for trying….

According to FierceFinance this is a bit dangerous from a career point of view. The bank cannot allow this to happen, especially in light some of the Tweeter's comments to the New York Times that might be construed as taunting. Goldman has no choice but to pursue this aggressively.
