Remember that guy who allegedly stole Goldman Sach’s proprietary high speed trading software? You know, the stuff that ran on their co-located servers in the exchanges, and so as to engage in front-running the entire market?

Well, it looks like there is a no jail time deal for Sergey Aleynikov in the offing about this.

Goldman Sachs has apparently folded like a bunch of overcooked broccoli, after the defense got a ruling saying that said that they were to be given access to all relevant personnel records.

So, Goldman Sachs, that great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity,^* the folks who think, probably correctly, that they own the United States of America, acted like a prison bitch when confronted with the possibility of his reviewing his own personnel file???

Something is very wrong here.

What on earth are they hiding?

FWIW, any tips received will be kept in strictest confidence.

^*Alas, I cannot claim credit for this bon mot, it was coined by the great Matt Taibbi, in his article on the massive criminal conspiracy investment firm, The Great American Bubble Machine.
