Aleynikov Arrested AGAIN; Fuld Remains At Large
Sheesh, Sergey Aleynikov can't catch a break. Most of you will remember him as the ex-Goldman programmer who swiped the firm's Doomsday Machine code before jumping ship to another firm. Or I guess we have to say allegedly swiped the code (again), since his federal criminal conviction was overturned by a higher court.
Neither distinction mattered to Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance and US Attorney Preet Bharara when they charged him in state court on Thursday. Aleynikov faces up to four years in prison on the new charges of unlawful use of secret scientific material and duplication of computer-related material.
“This code is so highly confidential that it is known in the industry as the firm’s ‘secret sauce,’ ” Mr. Vance said Thursday in a statement. “Employees who exploit their access to sensitive information should expect to face criminal prosecution in New York State.”
If you guys remember back to when he first diddled Goldman's mainframe, the FBI showed up on his driveway like 10 minutes later. Seriously. They didn't make Osama bin Laden the same priority they made this poor schmuck whose biggest mistake in life was thinking you could steal from the almighty Goldman Sachs and get away with it.
Now that he somehow wriggled out of the federal noose, the state boys are coming after him. Double jeopardy be damned. You don't fucking steal from Goldman Sachs.
For the record, I think Vance and Bharara are good guys who will be remembered for doing a good job on balance. But for crying out loud, can we go after somebody who actually hurt someone financially and benefited themselves to the tune of a couple hundred million?
Seriously, guys. Enough with the low-hanging fruit. We get that the Wall Street paymasters want to send a message to the working class finance pogues that their lives will be over if they fuck with the firm. Message received.
Now how about going after Fuld and Callan for Repo 105, hmmm? That's just one idea. Honestly, call me. I can help you guys retire on the perjury cases alone from all the bogus bank CEO testimony before Congress over the past four years.
But I guess that would look too much like justice.

Yes, lol. You're referring to corp resp but I just merely wanted to ascertain the level of his scumbagness.

Considering that he blatantly perjured himself before Congress regarding his own compensation (downplaying it by 8 figures), I'd say he sets the bar pretty high. I'm also quite sure he was well aware of Repo 105 transactions and happily approved them.
Think about it: could you really move that sizable a chunk of assets off the company's balance sheet at the end of every quarter without the CEO noticing?
Eva Rausing is my favorite
Eva Rausing is my favorite case, get caught with that amount of drugs and be a poor black guy and you're in for some jail time. Law enforcement is for the poor except when there is huge public outrage and the person is guilty without any doubt at all, and even then, and so is everywhere. Sometimes you just need to remember the plebes to stay down, and make an example whenever you have the chance. It just sucks, but its not going to change (for better).

Sounds looney, but so did hoping to work in NYC four years ago and here I am.

Goldman is right to make an example out of them. In the same vein, Goldman should be drawn and quartered for their part in the financial crisis.

Remember how it works - you're okay as long as you steal from the poor (mutual funds, etc). The moment you steal from the rich, you're going to get canned. Seriously. Ask Madoff.

Well, if you know what caused the financial crisis (did you saw it coming?), you should know that Goldman was only a symptom of the problem and not the problem itself.
In the case of Aleynikov, he is the source of the problem. Not the same thing.
