Executive summary: The Great Derangement Heir apparent to Hunter S. Thompson as gonzo journalist at Rolling Stone, where he authored a rambling but rock-solid 2009 exposé of Goldman Sachs's role in triggering the 2008 Wall Street crisis and the resulting economic collapse. In his report, Taibbi memorably described Goldman Sachs as "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money".
