However, he [Blankfein] said, "there's also people who feel — and are right — that there's some meaningful things where we may have — not may have, certainly our industry is responsible for things. And we're a leader in our industry, and we participated in things that were clearly wrong, and we have reasons to regret and apologize for."

When he was asked what lessons he and the company have learned, he said: "Listen, there was a lot of negligent behavior, improper, bad behavior, behavior that has to be fixed and sorted through. There's no doubt about it, and everybody succumbed to it, some more or less. We don't take ourselves out of that. I include ourselves in that."
