Between 2009 and 2016, he was twice prosecuted for the same conduct of allegedly copying proprietary computer source code from his employer, Goldman Sachs, before joining a competing firm. His first prosecution in federal court in New York ultimately resulted in acquittal by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The outcome of his second prosecution and trial in New York state court was a split verdict dismissed by court, which acquitted him on all counts. That order of dismissal was later overturned by New York intermediate appellate court. He is currently appealing that decision in New York Court of Appeals . His story inspired Michael Lewis's bestseller "Flash Boys".
