Mario Draghi: ex-Goldman Sachs VP. ‘nuff said.

Interesting point. From wiki:

Draghi was then vice chairman and managing director of Goldman Sachs International and a member of the firm-wide management committee (2002–2005).

...

Concerns were also expressed during the candidacy about Draghi's past employment at Goldman Sachs.[7][21] Pascal Canfin (MEP) asserted Draghi was involved in swaps for European governments, particularly in Greece, trying to disguise their countries' economic status. Draghi responded that the deals were "undertaken before my joining Goldman Sachs [and] I had nothing to do with them", in the 2011 European Parliament nomination hearings.[22][23]

Yes, that is pretty much what I was referring to. Goldman Sachs, with or without Draghi, was very much instrumental (for a hefty fee!) in getting Greece into the euro. Now, I’m not a fan of conspiracy theories, but the way the name Goldman Sachs keeps popping up time and again when it comes to all the financial misery of the past years, well... (And Draghi seems to have been a fast learner at GS...) These people are without any moral standards whatsoever.
