(Fortune) -- One of the few remaining mysteries from the fall of Bear Stearns is where's Alan Schwartz? Schwartz, as you may remember, was the affable M&A banker who had the misfortune of becoming Bear Stearns CEO in January 2008, two months before the 85-year-old firm collapsed.
That mystery may soon be solved: Alan Schwartz appears to be headed to Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500), the premier Wall Street investment bank turned bank holding company. According to a source familiar with the negotiations going on between Goldman and Schwartz, the chances are about "50-50" that Schwartz will soon be a partner-level Managing Director at Goldman (of which there are now about 400, out of 27,898 employees worldwide.)
His potential role at Goldman
In his new post, Schwartz's responsibilities will include cooking up deals in the media, telecom and healthcare sectors and being an all-around senior banker and executive. If Schwartz ends up at Goldman, he will join the firm's other senior M&A luminaries, Jack Levy and Gene Sykes, in covering the media and telecom industries. Schwartz, 58, would also help fill the banking holes left by the recent departures of Bryan Trott, Warren Buffett's favorite banker, and Jon Winkelried, who had been a co-president at the firm along with Gary Cohn.
