Obviously Goldman Sachs is behind this, somehow, but why? Above, the “Love Story” of Sergey and Elina, a video that’s been available since 2007, and was up until some point last night. Now, alarmingly, the audio’s been stripped, supposedly over copyright infringement, though we have it on good authority there’s more to this than meets the Blankfein. Is this some sort of coded message via LB? The WSJ suggested earlier that Serge and the wife should be embarrassed about the video, which tells how workaholic Aleynikov found love via a genie in a lamp, and would perhaps want to bury evidence of its existence. With all due respect, the Journal clearly has no idea what it’s talking about– this is nothing to be embarrassed over. It’s the sort of thing you shout loud and proud.

As someone who didn’t get it see it with the audio, I have to know, why didn’t he end up with the 300 lb black chick?
it says: be silent forever or we will make you a mute
@2 not sure, but it’s a dream sequence so we’re definitely supposed to assume he jerked it to her.
@3 knows what’s up.

It would have been safer for Serge to fuck with the Russian Mob.

@2 i’d hit it
In my “love” video, farts were lit while glacier hiking in Patagonia with Jeff Skilling. Ah, those were the days.

More importantly, why is Erin B. wearing a turtleneck in July?
@10 to cover up my love bites, duh.

@Bess: love you for this. I can’t believe I watched the entire thing. Need to go drown myself in a vat of treacle.
I loved the accusations and the Russian mob angle and all the other sorditry you brought to the dance but, I’m sorry, you lifted your foot on that twirl.

@12
alternatively you can fill a barrel with your own drewl and man-yoghurt, produced during fantasies about bess, and than drown yourself in that!
Scott Baio has finally hit rock bottom.
@perkins– it was a pretty moving story, wasn’t it?
@15 thank you! was trying to figure out where I knew the guy from.
what… the fuck
Why a 3001b black woman? Why not a 300 lb white man or woman?
@19 b/c it’s a 300 lb black woman in the video. watch before you comment, son.
WTF … I mean, WTF.
that was so moving
beatiful
Not sure who’s a bigger doosh: that guy, or me for watching the whole 10 mins.

@24 you, for spelling the word douche ‘doosh.’ any other questions?
I saw the video on Sunday afternoon when the story broke and it had no audio then.

Serge is not hanging noodles from your ears…
Moron puts a baguette in the fridge. Good luck chewing that computer whiz!
Somebody’s gotta tell Tim LaHaye about this …
Cheers, John @ Housing Doom
@25, just one. How have you made it this far in life without killing yourself? DOOSH.
@26 Me too, no sound, too bad.
I thought it was a little odd to put on YouTube, but I thought it was very sweet, and funny in a few places.
But then I’m a girl.
it’s obviously supposed to be a silent film, or else there would be no need for the spliced-in text (“you need to get married!”, etc). this is common in alot of classic silent films. i doubt there ever was any audio

The part I do not quite understand is how some other firm would be able to properly utilize this code. I assume front running involves before the fact knowledge of orders, not detecting after the fact patterns in executed orders.
According to the stats, GS is responsible for 40% of the program trading activity, so it can front run against its own clients. Who else has access to that large a body of order executions? How do the ‘markets’ get manipulated?
So, is this a smoke screen to lock down the code as it will reveal something different about its purposes? Theft of IP shows GS has been harmed and justifies preventive actions – why the need to warn about the possibility of a financial WMD?
