Happy Friday!

The second shoe has finally dropped for Goldman regarding its involvement in Malaysia's 1MDB fund. On Thursday, the bank reached an agreement with US authorities to pay out nearly $3 billion. This comes a few months after Goldman agreed to a $3.9 billion settlement with Malaysia. 

One interesting tidbit from the news. Goldman Sachs' CEO, COO, and CFO, along with Goldman Sachs International's CEO, will have their overall compensation reduced by $31 million for 2020. That's in addition to $76 million the bank is clawing back from former employees implicated in the incident. 

According to the Justice Department, Goldman earned $600 million in fees from its work with 1MDB.

In short, the two firms earned at least 10 contracts with four states, amounting to $63.2 million in fees. 

Oh, and all of it was won without a bidding process.
