Top Goldman Sachs lawyer resigns after Epstein links revealed

Kathryn 'Kathy' Ruemmler, the top lawyer at Goldman Sachs, has resigned from the bank. Her departure came after reports detailed her past personal relationship with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, whom she reportedly referred to as 'Uncle Jeffrey'.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said he 'reluctantly accepted' Ruemmler's resignation. The bank has faced scrutiny over its handling of the situation and its connections to Epstein, who was a client of several major financial institutions before his arrest and death.

The resignation highlights the ongoing fallout for individuals and companies linked to Epstein, years after his criminal case. Other executives, like the chairman of DP World, have also recently lost positions due to revelations about their Epstein ties.
