Goldman Sachs To Hunt Workers' Emails For 'Muppet' References

It's been nearly 30 years since the Muppets took Manhattan, but they're making a comeback, of sorts, thanks to Greg Smith, the former Goldman Sachs Group employee who infamously quit his job last week in a scathing op-ed in The New York Times.

In reaction to Smith's allegation that he witnessed Goldman managing directors refer to clients as "muppets," the investment-banking firm will begin scanning employees' emails for occurrences of the word as well as other evidence that staffers referred to clients in derogatory ways, Reuters reports.
