Espionage Act
During oral arguments on Feb. 16, the three-judge appeals panel criticized the government’s application of the espionage act to Aleynikov’s actions, asking the prosecutor how the crime occurred and how it affected commerce.

The judges -- Dennis Jacobs, 67, Guido Calabresi, 79, and Rosemary Pooler, 73 -- also asked if taking Goldman Sachs’s trading code was comparable to taking copyrighted material or bringing an employee manual to a new job.

Marino argued that the trial judge had “bent over backward” to let the government apply the espionage statute and argued the case should have been prosecuted in state court.

Marino argued, as he had during the trial, that Aleynikov only took open-source code he had written at Goldman Sachs. He said the government had tried to expand its reading of the Economic Espionage Act to encompass that.

“There is no trade secret,” Marino told the court. “He took it to make his new job easier, he never intended to harm Goldman.”

Может, боялись, что изучение исходников экспертами со стороны выявит один-другой "интересный" эксплойт системы трейдинга. Все может быть.

Здесь собака и зарыта. Не хотели поднимать ил со дна. Експлойты - наше все ( вернее, "их все"). Я - не большой експерт в механиках фронт-офиса, но мои краткие погружения создали впечатление, что ето дикий-дикий-запад по сравнению с зарегулированным донельзя бекофисом.
