, concerning Goldman Sachs’s patchy performance during his tenure as chief executive. The firm’s foray into consumer banking was setting fire to a chunk of its dwindling profits. Efforts to move into businesses that promised steadier revenues than trading and proprietary investments were coming up short. And all this was producing tension between the firm’s divisions.
