About Sergey Aleynikov
- Sergey Aleynikov is a former Goldman Sachs computer programmer.
- Between 2009 and 2016, he was twice prosecuted for the same conduct of allegedly copying proprietary computer source code from his employer, Goldman Sachs, before joining a competing firm.
- His first prosecution in federal court in New York ultimately resulted in acquittal by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
- The outcome of his second prosecution and trial in New York state court was a split verdict dismissed by court, which acquitted him on all counts.
- That order of dismissal was later overturned by New York Court of Appeals, which took a very broad interpretation of the statute, and on recommendation of prosecutors he was sentenced to time served.
- He is currently appealing that conviction on double jeopardy grounds.
- His story inspired Michael Lewis's bestseller Flash Boys.
