NEW YORK (Reuters) - News that Goldman Sachs Group Inc might quickly pay back taxpayer money could pressure able rivals to do the same.
Goldman Sachs is hoping to pay back its $10 billion of TARP money as soon as possible but hurdles remain, according to a person familiar with the process who was not authorized to speak publicly about it.
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that the bank hoped to repay the money as soon as next month. Goldman declined to comment.
