Goldman Sachs Code Theft Not Quite So Cut and Dried
The New York Times has some interesting details that are surfacing about the recent charges brought against Sergey Aleynikov, the programmer who allegedly stole code from Goldman Sachs on his way out the door to another job. "This spring, Mr. Aleynikov quit Goldman to join Teza Technologies, a new trading firm, tripling his salary to about $1.2 million, according to the complaint. He left Goldman on June 5. In the days before he left, he transferred code to a server in Germany that offers free data hosting. [...] After his arrest, Mr. Aleynikov was taken for interrogation to F.B.I. offices in Manhattan. Mr. Aleynikov waived his rights against self-incrimination, and agreed to allow agents to search his house. He said that he had inadvertently downloaded a portion of Goldman's proprietary code while trying to take files of open source software — programs that are not proprietary and can be used freely by anyone. He said he had not used the Goldman code at his new job or distributed it to anyone else, and the criminal complaint offers no evidence that he has."

I confirm.
This girl was DEFINITELY in the right horizontal!

Wow, that's a good piece of info. You know of a case where the police did that?
Never let the cops use your toilet.
He wasn't actually american though apparently he was an immigrant.

A fool and his lamb are worth two in the bush.
You can make $2.4Mill a year by working as a programmer to the Mafia. I hear they have better benefits and far nicer working conditions.
I'd work for organized crime than a trading company. I dont want to work with crooks that steal from grandmothers and working people.
