Meeting with the head G-Man. FBI Director Robert Mueller gives his take on the Google Affair. Welcome to the new Cold War. Where is my 20 terabytes of data? One country’s criminal is another’s national hero.

The man who brought down Galleon is not finished, and if the report by Reuters' Matt Goldstein is correct, FBI special agent B.J. Kang may well have his sights set on the top of the hedge fund pantheon: SAC Capital itself. This is not a surprise to Zero Hedge, and is something we have speculated on in the past, however the intricacies of such a spectacular take down would have to be refined beyond any reasonable doubt as any allegations against Mr. Cohen will likely see the involvement of every single $1,000/hour billing lawyer in the world, taking on any DOJ case.

CNBC reports. Unclear at this point if the arrests are related to Galleon. Identities so far unknown. Should make the paranoia in the rest of the hedge fund world reach 5mg Geodon prescription levels. Details from the WSJ: "The New York office of the FBI said the individuals were primarily taken into custody in New York. One person was arrested in New Jersey and one person was arrested in Connecticut."

The stuff just got serious folks. "The FBI involvement opens up the possibility of criminal charges, although the scope and possible outcome of the probe remain unclear."

Presumably arrested although sources are unclear... maybe arresting FBI agents were on the political contribution list and looked the other way for 30 seconds.
