Update on Sergey Aleynikov Case (UPDATED)

08-17-2009 • CRIME & FEDERALISM

Today there was a hearing scheduled in United States v. Aleynikov. I haven't seen any reports of today's hearing. The docket sheet for PACER isn't showing any updates. (See update, below.) Bloomberg, however, is reporting: Aug. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. computer programmer Sergey Aleynikov, who was charged last month with stealing sophisticated trading software, wants his criminal case to be dismissed. At a hearing in Manhattan federal court on Aug. 10, defense attorney Sabrina Shroff said she will seek to persuade prosecutors to enter into a rare “deferred prosecution” agreement. A public trial of Aleynikov would expose Goldman Sachs. After receiving too much attention, Goldman Sachs told the United States Attorneys Office to back off. It seems that the same prosecutor who lied in open court is all too willing to do Goldman's bidding.

Red you must be having a bad day and taking too much meth. It is hard for me to decide which is better, to ignore an angry lib with a chip on your shoulder that has nothing constructive to say or tell you that you need to go play somewhere else because you are a pain in the a**. Could anyone else out there help me make a decision, suggestions would be appreciated
