To pursue Aleynikov , Goldman Sachs lawyers had to admit that Goldman’s computer code can be used to manipulate the market. This has caused Bloomberg’s Jonathan Weil and others to as ask the obvious question:  If it can be used to manipulate the market and since it was developed with that capability, then has Goldman been using it for its intended purpose?  It’s logical to think so and its a no-brainer that such activity would be illegal.  Zero Hedge finds an apparent prior offense on Aleynikov and wonders why Goldman’s background check didn’t turn it up.  Could it be that Goldman knew and didn’t care as it knew the code was illegal and required “shady” characters to develope it?  However, the SEC and other enforcement agencies of the Federal government clearly have no intention to investigate Goldman.  Why?  There is only one possible answer: The federal government has been encouraging, aiding and abetting Goldman Sachs in its market manipulation. To investigate Goldman is to shed light on the government’s own illegal activity.  This is the same reason the government will not allow an audit of the Federal Reserve: the government is complicit and wants to keep its illegal activity hidden.
