So...its just a crazy coincidence that the guy from London, the xp-dev.com guy, is/was a trading systems developer as well? Right...that guy knew about it being on his servers, hell, he was part of the scam! These guys were up to something. I don't know if the article was incorrect or what, but it says the Russian left a $400,000/yr job for one that paid $100,000 less? The government doesn't see anything fishy about that? AND, on the other link posted on HN the other day about the Goldman code torrent honeypot, the Citadel group connected to the torrent...and they are involved with the company that the alleged theif was leaving Goldman for! I mean come on, these avenues need to be explored.
- cema 17y agoReports were the new job paid 3 times as much (about $1,200,000 annually). Which is consistent with the idea of going from GS to a hedge fund. This article says he mentioned that to co-workers. Now, the financial affidavit quotes $300,000 but this may be just the base pay (before bonuses).
- jpierce420 17y agoPossibly, but a million dollar bonus, when his base isn't even at a million? Isn't that a little out of ordinary?
