Yes indeed we need investigations, serious protection of whistle blowers and let real justice take its course.

<br />We may start to see more whistle blowers coming out of the woodwork due to job loss, the financial lure of tattling, or conscience. When it begins, watch out. The levees are gonna break. There are so many financial/governmental crimes out there it's mind boggling. Might be a good time to become a paralegal and move to DC.<br /><br

Thanks JAP!!! That is a good one. I'm watching this story because it has the potential to begin a domino topple. Would imagine damage control is in turbo right now.

Is A Case Of Quant Trading Sabotage About To Destroy Goldman Sachs?

Posted by Tyler Durden at 5:48 PM Sunday, July 5, 2009

Major developing story: Matt Goldstein over at Reuters may have just broken a story that could spell doom for if not the entire Goldman Sachs program trading group, then at least those who deal with low latency (microseconds) event-driven market data processing, strategy, and order submissions.
