Bail for Sergey Aleynikov, the programmer accused of stealing trading codes from Goldman Sachs (his former employer) has been set at $750,000. Red needs “three financially responsible people” to post bond. If his promise of innocence isn’t enough to convince anyone here to put up the money, how about his dancing feet? Surely the big hearted individuals willing to lay out the cash would be treated to at least one or two private performances by Sergey and his wife, Elina, who are competitive ballroom dancers. Don’t say no, just say maybe and have a look-see at what you’d be in for:

    He’ll have a lot of “ballroom” after Goldman gets through with him.

    LB should bail him out just to fuck w him pre-trial.

    @2 They’re putting GS alum Hank Paulson on that special project.

    The dead giveaway: No one ballroom dances at 85 Broad.

    Tits Cabrera is about to tell us “all about” this story that has already been reported everywhere but CNBC.

  23. Posted by guest | July 6, 2009 at 1:23 PM

    Take it easy it’s just more ZH conspiracy bullshit.

  24. Posted by guest | July 6, 2009 at 1:24 PM

    @24 well, not the story that was written by Goldstein, but ZH’s attempt to put his conspiracy theory on it, yes.

    In the heart of little old New York,
    You’ll find a thoroughfare.
    It’s the part of little old New York
    That runs into Times Square.
    A crazy quilt that “Wall Street Jack” built,
    If you’ve got a little time to spare,
    I want to take you there.
    Come and meet those dancing feet,
    On the avenue I’m taking you to…
    Come and meet those dancing feet,
    On the avenue I’m taking you to,
    Eighty-five Broad Street.
    Hear the beat of dancing feet,
    It’s the song I love the melody of,
    Eighty-five Broad Street.
    Little “shifties” from the Citis,
    Innocent and sweet;
    Sexy traders from novators,
    Who are indiscreet.
    They’re side by side, they’re glorified
    Where the underworld can meet the elite,
    Eighty-five Broad Street

    I’d fuck her from behind, while my balls dance on her ass cheeks. This will be done in a room. That’s how they defined ball room dancing in the kamasutra before whitie hijacked it and made a fruity dance form out of it. PEACE!!

    has anyone noticed that conspiracy theory boy feels the need to refer to exploding traffic in every other post? who you tryin to convince, TD?

  28. Posted by guest | July 6, 2009 at 2:14 PM

    Bess,
    Not much mention of Matt Taibbi’s piece on here…. surprising

  29. Posted by guest | July 6, 2009 at 2:19 PM

    @29 actually, it was mentioned, just not on a daily basis since it came out, like on other sites.

  30. Posted by guest | July 6, 2009 at 2:20 PM

    @29 I’m sorry, did you not get you fill of conspiracy theory bull shit in the other forums in which it was widely discussed?

  31. Posted by guest | July 6, 2009 at 2:21 PM

    Seranno’s got the discs! He’s got the Discs! Seranno’s got the discs!!!!

    @28
    exploding traffic?
    Most likely unreliable provider in Amsterdam.

    @33 I wasn’t agreeing w ZH, questioning who he’s trying to convince.

    He has no class whatsoever, since he tried to skip via Newark Liberty.

    @35 actually, Newark is far superior to jfk/laguardia.

    Uh?

    @32, my fave!!! thank you. If you’re asleep at the wheel, it was Robert DeNiro in Midnight Run.

    A life sentence just for using that song.

  40. [...] No one alleges that Tower knew Agarwal had allegedly stolen code from Soc Gen. This is the second case brought by federal prosecutors involving the theft of quantitative code from an investment bank. A former Goldman quant was charged with stealing code a few months back. [...]
