I read the original Vanity Fair article. I have to say that the whole thing looks like nothing more than Goldman using its governmental influence to send a message to its programmers that if they leave for another firm, there will be hell to pay. After he won his federal appeal and was released from federal prison, Goldman convinced the State of New York to file charges for the same conduct. That case is pending and he is out on bail. A recent motion to dismiss that case based on double jeopardy was denied. Welcome to the USA - where money buys you all the justice you could ever want.
- VerilyForsooth 13y agoYeah, your comment is complete nonsense. Goldman Sachs didn't prosecute him because corporations can't prosecute people. He stole source code. What else is to say? The discourse on Hacker News is hysterical and braindead. It wasn't always like this.
