Goddam the links on that article are annoying. None of them are sources, just links to general "topics" under bloomberg. Completely confusing.

Read this instead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Aleynikov

That being said, this just shows how much power Goldman wields with the establishment and it was kind of a scary insight into their recorded weirdness. Basically they just said to the FBI that he stole the source code and he could possibly use the code to manipulate markets. This is a guy that writes the code to manipulate markets, but then he was a criminal, because he might do it for himself. The whole thing is insane IMHO.

One of the charges sounds completely ridiculous. "unlawful use of secret scientific material"
