The fact that the Manhattan DA's office spent so much effort pursuing this case goes to show how much power GS has over there. They are trying to make an example out of him. The state is literally doing GS's bidding here. Such a shame.
- choppaface 11y agoAgreed. While it's important for law enforcement to step up to new and technically challenging cases, the public would have been much better served had the DA focused on the Dewey & LeBoeuf case (as the NY Times suggests). This case had small marginal negative impact on society (and the leaking of HFT technology might even result in a positive for investors). Dewey & LeBoeuf are outright accounting fraudsters.
