GOOD. Fuck Goldman for being able to sic the FBI on an ex-employee who went to a competitor. If he copied code that's obviously a civil matter. How many tech companies have had the same thing happened to them? How many did the FBI get involved in? Close to zero I'd guess over 40 years.

They get special treatment from law enforcement because they're rich, powerful, and connected. It was a total travesty that the FBI even became involved in the first place.

Not that I'm justifying his actions. He did wrong and there should be consequences -- but Goldman shouldn't get to use the FBI as their enforcers.
