I would not be surprised if those FBI agents cited in these allegations were "double agents" and were part of an FBI sting operation to get Tony.

If these FBI agents end up not being prosecuted or do not serve time in jail in line with the charges against them, then it would indicate to me the FBI somehow got their double agents out without having to disclose to the court and jury the dual role of these agents or disclose their sting operation to the court.

We shall know only the "truth" or "smell" a coverup after we read the minutes of the respective criminal trials.

Unfortunately, the criminal trial re these allegations shall probably take place sometime during 2003. When the media focus and attention goes away then, it shall be much easier for the FBI to maintain the coverup re the dual role of their agents and to also continue the coverup of their sting operation.

I believe Tony was too aggressive, too trusting of others and got "sloppy" in his efforts to find the "criminals" heading up publicly-traded companies and who also attempted to manipulate their company's stock price up to enrich themselves.

Based upon Tony's above definition of "criminal", I think the top executives of all publicly-traded firms are then criminals because they seek to enrich themselves by converting their low cost options into stock, and then selling these shares immediately after conversion. The objective is to have the largest gap possible between their per share option cost and the stock price of their company.

Tony went "overboard" with this self-ordained mission.

In my opinion, it would have been much more profitable and easier for him to just focus on shorting overvalued tech companies during the last 12 months.

With the DOW and the S&P 500 index now having significantly higher P/E ratios versus prior periods, I believe the next 12 months shall provide many shorting opportunities of companies within these indexes while their stock prices move downward to then be in an area within their historical P/E range.
