A former Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) employee pleaded guilty on Thursday to illegally obtaining confidential information from a former colleague at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Rohit Bansal, a former associate at Goldman Sachs, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of theft of government property, days after Goldman Sachs reached a related $50 million settlement with the New York Department of Financial Services. “I accept full responsibility for my actions and am deeply sorry for what I’ve done,” a visibly emotional Bansal said at the plea hearing.
