No Facebook For You

Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) said U.S. clients won't be offered a piece of the $1.5 billion Facebook private offering citing "intense media attention," the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

Goldman will now limit the offering to "offshore" investors.

In a statement to the Journal, the investment bank said it "concluded the level of media attention might not be consistent with the proper completion of a U.S. private placement under U.S. law."

Goldman said it did not make the move at the request of regulators, including the SEC.
