It’s the largest settlement the investment bank has reached related to the financial crisis.  Goldman has been under investigation for allegedly misleading investors on the safety of the securities they created by bundling and selling mortgages. These activities, including subprime mortgages offerings are blamed particularly for a decline in black wealth in America creating a larger wealth gap between blacks and whites.

BlueIndy is exceeding membership expectations. A spokesman told The Indianapolis Star, the electric car share program had nearly 1,100 in its first four-months. About 95 percent of the memberships purchased were yearly, and the rest were monthly, weekly or daily.  Last year, BlueIndy officials said it would need 20,000 yearly memberships and 20,000 weekly rides to turn a profit, which could take six-years to achieve. Kiosks are located all over town. Learn more about the program and locations HERE.
