‘Flash Boys’ Programmer [Sergey Aleynikov] in Goldman Case Prevails Second Time

He has been exonerated because — for the second time — a judge ruled what he did isn’t a crime. This time it was a New York state judge who decided, as a federal judge had in 2012, that “existing criminal laws are a bad fit,” reports Chris Dolmetsch of BloombergBusiness.

I've just finished my burger (85%) and fresh salad (greens from the garden, veggies from the CSA). Dessert tonight will be fresh sour cherries and a bit of whipped cream. We're indulging a bit for the holiday.
