I've posted about this before, probably a couple of times, about a former Goldman Sachs programmer that The Boys had the FBI chase down and arrest because "he had in his possession computer code which in the wrong hands could be used to manipulate markets in unfair ways"  LOL, it needs to remain in the right hands that would never misuse it, The Goldman Sachs hands of course.

It's always interesting to hear the other side of a story.  This is an article written from the point of view of the programmer that was railroaded into prison by The Boys with the golden sacks.   IMO it is an extremely interesting and fascinating look into that world, but it is a long article, 8 pages (sorry HIM, too long for you).

Interesting read.  I feel for the guy for getting crushed by Goldman, but at the end of the day he stole from his employer.
