“At a court appearance July 4 in Manhattan, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Facciponti told a federal judge that Aleynikov’s alleged theft poses a risk to U.S. markets.
Aleynikov transferred the code, which is worth millions of dollars, to a computer server in Germany, and others may have had access to it, Facciponti said, adding that New York-based Goldman Sachs may be harmed if the software is disseminated. (Big Crocodile Tear -BCT)
“The bank has raised the possibility that there is a danger that somebody who knew how to use this program could use it to manipulate markets in unfair ways ” Facciponti said…”
~~insert laugh track~~~
Goldman is essentially claiming their stolen program could harm markets if it was used.
Interesting claim by Goldmanfinger for their financial WMD. The could MANIPULATE markets in an unfair way.
