<br><br> What to make of this ? <br><br> <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>NEW YORK -- Federal investigators have arrested an enigmatic Wall Street wiz on insider-trading charges -- and incredibly, he claims to be a time-traveler from the year 2256! <br><br>Sources at the Security and Exchange Commission confirm that 44-year-old Andrew Carlssin offered the bizarre explanation for his uncanny success in the stock market after being led off in handcuffs on January 28. <br><br>"We don't believe this guy's story -- he's either a lunatic or a pathological liar," says an SEC insider. <br><br>"But the fact is, with an initial investment of only $800, in two weeks' time he had a portfolio valued at over $350 million. Every trade he made capitalized on unexpected business developments, which simply can't be pure luck. <br><br>"The only way he could pull it off is with illegal inside information. He's going to sit in a jail cell on Rikers Island until he agrees to give up his sources." <br><br>The past year of nose-diving stock prices has left most investors crying in their beer. So when Carlssin made a flurry of 126 high-risk trades and came out the winner every time, it raised the eyebrows of Wall Street watchdogs. <br><br>"If a company's stock rose due to a merger or technological breakthrough that was supposed to be secret, Mr. Carlssin somehow knew about it in advance," says the SEC source close to the hush-hush, ongoing investigation. <br><br>When investigators hauled Carlssin in for questioning, they got more than they bargained for: A mind-boggling four-hour confession.<br>Carlssin declared that he had traveled back in time from over 200 years in the future, when it is common knowledge that our era experienced one of the worst stock plunges in history. Yet anyone armed with knowledge of the handful of stocks destined to go through the roof could make a fortune. <br><br>"It was just too tempting to resist," Carlssin allegedly said in his videotaped confession. "I had planned to make it look natural, you know, lose a little here and there so it doesn't look too perfect. But I just got caught in the moment." <br><br>In a bid for leniency, Carlssin has reportedly offered to divulge "historical facts" such as the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden and a cure for AIDS. <br><br>All he wants is to be allowed to return to the future in his "time craft." <br><br>However, he refuses to reveal the location of the machine or discuss how it works, supposedly out of fear the technology could "fall into the wrong hands." <br><br>Officials are quite confident the "time-traveler's" claims are bogus. Yet the SEC source admits, "No one can find any record of any Andrew Carlssin existing anywhere before December 20</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->[/i] <p></p><i></i>

I heard this story quite some time ago. <br><br>snopes.com is a good place to go for "urban legends." Just because snopes says something isn't true doesn't mean it's not but whenever I get sent another "virus warning" I send the link to the person who sent me the email.<br><br>www.snopes.com.<br><br>Here's the link to this particular story:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/insider.htm">www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/insider.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

Why dont they hook him up to a polygraph? or even hypnosis? The polygraph test is used in some criminal cases i am led to believe.<br><br>or even transfer him to guantanamo bay and hook him up to the electrodes? oh no that didant seem to work in extracting where the WMD and chemical weapons were hidden....on seconds thoughts....<br><br>One wonders why he wanted such a vast amount of wealth. perhaps he wanted to be the richest man in his local graveyard.<br><br>On 3rd thoughts, under the new war of terror laws, if he knows osamas whereabouts, (one only has to google it and the information is available!!!! dead for 4 years....)<br>then by not disclosing it, it may be interpreted into inciting terrorism, who knows, maybe they are actually sparking the electrodes up as i type? <p></p><i></i>
