A former personal assistant to Goldman Sachs’s chief executive killed himself by jumping from the 33rd floor of a hotel on Tuesday, at the same time he had been scheduled to plead guilty for what prosecutors had said was stealing more than $1.2m worth of his boss’s wine.
Nicolas De-Meyer, 41, who worked for Goldman’s David Solomon, had been expected to plead guilty in federal court in Manhattan at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
