Schlongberg Sachs is a financial services company that appears in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series.
Description
The company operates several branch offices across Liberty City, Alderney, and Los Santos.
The firm is purportedly well-renowned in the world of investment banking for its lucrative employee bonuses. In Grand Theft Auto IV, during the mission Blow Your Cover, Playboy X suggests this when he tells Niko Bellic, "I pay like a Schlongberg Sachs bonus, bitch". The firm is also occasionally mentioned in Weazel News financial reports.[vague]
In Grand Theft Auto V, Glenn Scoville mentions during his bail bond mission that he was the youngest vice president of the company.
Influence
Schlongberg Sachs serves as an evident parody of Goldman Sachs, seemingly weaving in a clever play on the firm's name that references Yiddish vocabulary. The terms "schlong" and "schmuck" are both Yiddish words related to male genitals; "schmuck" can also refer to jewelry—an analogous euphemism found in the phrase "family jewels", often associated with gold. Moreover, "berg" translates to "mountain", so "Schlongberg" effectively conjures a mountain of [gold] jewelry.
