[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]The other [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]intriguing[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] thing about this case is the software has been uploaded to a unidentified Web site server in Germany. That could be accessible to other persons.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]“The copy in Germany is still out there,” the prosecutor said, according to an audio recording of the hearing. “And we at this time do not know who else has access to it and what’s going to happen to that software.” [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] “Once it is out there, anybody will be able to use this, and their market share will be adversely affected.” All Aleynikov would need to get the code from the German server is maybe 10 minutes with a cell phone and an Internet connection
We believe that if the defendant is at liberty, there is a substantial danger that he will obtain access to that software and send it on to whoever may need it,”[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]"Meantime, it would be nice to see someone at Goldman go on the record to explain what’s stopping the world’s most powerful investment bank from using its trading program in unfair ways, too."[/FONT][/COLOR]
