The FBI is analyzing death threats against Goldman Sachs, according to published reports. Nine newspapers across the country received handwritten letters that said, “Goldman Sachs. Hundreds will die. We are inside. You cannot stop us,” the FBI told CNN. The letters were written in red ink on loose leaf paper and signed “A.Q.U.S.A.,” according to CNN. The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., which received one of the letters postmarked June 27, reported that all of the missives were sent from Queens, N.Y. The investment bank has since taken security measures, but authorities told CNN that they don’t have specific information about a credible threat to the firm, with the exception of the letters.
