Court Releases Texts Between Former Goldman Employee And Prostitute For Potential Client

Texts sent by Youssef Kabbaj, a former employee of Goldman Sachs Group, Inc GS and allegedly in order to procure prostitutes for Libyan clients, were released to reporters Wednesday.

The texts were sent to a woman who was only referred to in court as “Michella.” Here’s the transcript, reproduced by Business Insider, complete with typos:

The clients the prostitutes were allegedly sought out for were from the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA), which claims it lost $1 billion on nine trades executed by Goldman Sachs and that the bankers exploited their financial naivety, according to the LIA's lawyers.
