We'll have more on this false and malicious prosecution later:
Federal prosecutors said Thursday that Sergey Aleynikov, a former computer programmer at Goldman Sachs, had been indicted on charges that he stole proprietary software that the firm uses to make rapid-fire trades in the financial markets.
The indictment accuses Mr. Aleynikov of theft of trade secrets, transporting stolen property in foreign commerce and unauthorized computer access. If convicted of the charges, Mr. Aleynikov would face up to 25 years in prison, the United States Attorney’s Office in Manhattan said.
