INVESTMENT BANKER as typed

C00350744 as Goldman Sachs PAC

THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP, INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE received $3,148,488 from this occupation key. Other occupations on the same PAC sit outside the join. $3,148,488 is not the PAC’s all-occupation total.

Independent expenditures are excluded. Cycle year is not in the packet. Cite FEC.gov for the live committee file. Firm PAC receipts are not a substitute for a Form ADV or a headcount.

Amended Schedule A filings move $3,148,488 and $30,023,152. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. This /ties/ page is a join snapshot, not a substitute for the occupation hub or the committee file on FEC.gov. Coverage stops at itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee. Unitemized gifts never enter either integer.

What 10.5 percent does not prove

10.5% is this PAC’s share of Investment Banker itemized dollars, not the share of Goldman bankers who give, and not the occupation’s share of the PAC. Inverting the percentage needs the PAC’s all-occupation total, which is not here.

Deal flow, underwriting, and motive are not fields. The join is two FEC labels. Correlation of a bank PAC with a bank-job title is a filing pattern.
