Excerpts from the nymag.com;
Last Friday, a team of FBI officials arrested Sergey Aleynikov, a 39-year-old former vice-president of Goldman Sachs, at Newark Airport. According to the complaint, Aleynikov had uploaded proprietary information — including the secret code to unlocking Goldman's automated stocks and commodities trading businesses — to an unnamed file-hosting service in Europe just before he resigned from his $400,000-a-year job at Goldman back at the beginning of June. Whether this is a case of international industrial espionage or merely an oopsie, here's the question: Aleynikov, who is being held pending $750, 000 bail, told FBI officials that he had only intended to download "open source" files from the server, and only later realized that he had downloaded "more than he had intended." His wife, for her part, is annoyed that the Fed ruined Fourth of July:
As you can see in this report is not good for Goldman Sachs. Now people would be thinking how far the damage and can Goldman Sachs recover from this or things will get worst for the company. This is very serious to say the least. If the information that was downloaded and sent to this un-named file server in Europe was important and sensitive to the operations of their automated trading systems, then there might be a lot of stuffs that could have been included in the file transferred.
