Funny story, my neighbor is a partner in the law firm that represented Aleynikov.

Did the guy managed to get attorney fees from them?
Oh, the firm got paid, but you have to think they feel for the guy a bit.
I mean did he get it from of Goldman, not the client.
Oh no, they've been dragging the court case out for years. His employment at another firm was suspended when the story broke and he's been in and out of court and jail ever since (convicted, appeal, overturned, new charges, etc) from both NYS and Federal courts.

Last I heard, he was given time served, but the founding partner of the firm - who was his primary legal counsel in the case - was trying to get that conviction stricken from his record as well.
