Ignoring the obvious FBI blunders and them being far too buddy-buddy with corporations, doesn't he have a point?

Aleynikov intended to monetize code which was technically Goldman's property, even if he wrote most of it. It would be a different story if he simply wanted to keep the code for archival and review purposes; he actually tried to help a startup by using it.

It sounds like he did violate the spirit of the law, if not the letter.
