Always look the bright side of life after Gaddafi's demise.

Goldman Sachs is mourning the death of a valued client today … Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi.

In 2008, the bank roped the dictator into investing $US1.3 billion from Libya's sovereign wealth fund in some structured products. Somehow it managed to blow up 98 per cent of Gaddafi's money in a year.
