One of the privileges of being a founder is that employees don't get to tell you when to "leave". It's your company. Consult an attorney and stand up for yourself.

What repeatedly stands out every time I read of this account is the relative ineptitude of the federal agents handling the investigation. There appears to be every indication that agent McSwain did everything short of taking explicit marchi

Are you referring to decimalization? If so, that doesn't really have any direct relation with HFT. The NYSE famously used to list prices in fractions of 1/8th, and converted to the decimal system around 2001. edit : coolio, I misu

Comparing Eich and Rice is misleading. By any sensible rationale, their "past actions", both positive and negative, aren't in the same ballpark, zip code or measurement scale.
