Goldman Sachs will raise at least $2.5 billion in common equity in a public offering. The deal comes at a time when the Wall Street is going through the worst crisis in its history. Over the last month, Wall Street went through a series of events like the US government's taking over of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, 158-year old Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.' filing for the bankruptcy under chapter 11.
