The Salomon Managing Director in charge was not amused.

The ex-Salomon person had transferred it to their home ISP account, and
started working for Jefferies Securities.


I found this transfer to Jefferies Securities in the backups too:

I need to roll out packaging mechanisms here at Jefferies. I really miss
all the infrastructure mechanisms I took for granted at Salomon.

That document was labelled as Salomon proprietary on each page.

The FBI got search warrants and went into Jefferies and took control of
a couple systems, and went home with the Ex-Salomon person and searched
there and took his computer systems. [The case is still pending @6/97]




The code is simple. It's choosing the keyword filtration sequence that's
tricky. I figured out how to determine it in an almost systemic way. Oddly

So, keyword monitoring is highly effective, I could even cover three feeds,
and, sigh, I should mention that it took well less than 5000 lines of
programming source code for me to implement it.

And I generated two FBI cases.
