Cheeky, all I know about Anthony is what I have read on this thread. I was simply quoting the article in the past tense.

Mr. Elgindy came to Internet stock trading after a decade as a licensed securities broker. In the early 1990s, he was co-owner of a small, now-defunct San Diego brokerage firm that came under federal criminal investigation in connection with illegal stock trading. The investigation led to several convictions. Mr. Elgindy has said that he didn't know about any illegal activity and was never charged. In a court hearing, the federal prosecutor on the case acknowledged Mr. Elgindy's cooperation.

In 1997, the National Association of Securities Dealers, which regulates brokers, suspended Mr. Elgindy for up to a year from various brokerage activities and assessed him $30,000 for 1993 stock-trading violations that included improperly using a trading system set up for retail customers. Mr. Elgindy says his trading violations were inadvertent and came at a time when he was depressed by the criminal investigation involving his firm. Last year, Mr. Elgindy decided to leave the securities industry.


It would be interesting to know why he chose to leave?
