The trial is the second in the government’s long-running case against Mr. Aleynikov, who is accused of stealing Goldman Sachs’s high-frequency-trading code.
His 2010 conviction on similar charges by a federal court was reversed on appeal after the appellate court said federal laws didn’t apply. Some court analysts took that ruling as an invitation for the Manhattan district attorney’s office to charge him under state laws, which it did in 2012.
The state trial has lasted roughly three weeks, and the jury was in its fifth day of deliberations when things took a bizarre turn.
Exactly what does the computer code that
Aleynikov stole from Goldman do that would allow it “manipulate the
market in unfair ways”? Let’s see the smoking gun.
