Indobusiness - Goldman Sachs has filed a protest to the financial information services company, Bloomberg, and pointed out that the Bloomberg reporters spying on Goldman employees using Bloomberg data terminal they use.
During this time, in addition to providing news, Bloomberg also sells data services to the financial markets in general investors through a special computer or terminal.
Based on the information circulated, Bloomberg reporters apparently have access to see what the investors through the terminal, for example, any command you entered or searched frequency plus a user terminal.
This scandal open in April 2013 when Goldman reported a Bloomberg reporter because the reporter asked about the status of a company executive, because he was no longer visible activity at the Bloomberg terminal.
This case is not new. Previously, Bloomberg also never received the same charges for insider trading cases Whale JP Morgan in London in 2012. At the time, Bloomberg became the first media revealed that Bruno Iksil insider trading is the culprit.
When was JP Morgan does not undertake a formal complaint, even though it was JP Morgan had terkaget when taking questions from reporters about Iksil Bloomberg that no longer log in to the Bloomberg terminal for some time.
"They are quite open about this, they said, We saw Whale trader you are not logged in three days. Had he been fired?" JPMorgan Chase said a source told CNBC.
This is quite surprising, especially since there are over 300,000 customers in the U.S. Bloomberg terminal. The customers that include financial company executives and policy makers.
CNBC reported that a former employee Bloomberg said that he had access to a Bloomberg terminal information owned Federal Reserve Governor Ben Bernanke and former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Bloomberg's media business competitors also stated that the Fed and the U.S. Treasury Department amid contacted by Bloomberg to ask for further clarification.
Bloomberg himself directly engaged on Friday. That afternoon, Bloomberg CEO Daniel Doctoroff sent an email to 15,000 employees Bloomberg. Doctoroff convey no new position of Client Data Compliance Officer will be held by Bloomberg COO Steve Ross.
In the email, Doctoroff acknowledged that, "Although we have long made a number of customer data available on a limited basis for our journalists, but we realize that this is wrong," he said. He also said that customer data did not include information trading or portfolio of the client.
Bloomberg also stressed that journalists will no longer have access to the data terminal client login. However, the news on the matter does not end. On Saturday, the site BuzzFeed Bloomberg reports that journalists have access to the data logged since 2011. In fact, a Bloomberg TV announcer never mentioned this in the broadcast.
