From SI Post 17524625:
>>>The two million in stock, Your Honour, what he had invested were short positions that would only benefit from that kind of event. What he did is liquidated the long positions that were vulnerable to that kind of news."<<<
Frankly, given the gravity of our nation's people, our nation's military and financial markets, coming under direct foreign attack, I'd think it very responsible to deeply investigate anyone--never mind the name Amir Elgindy (aka Anthony@Pacific)--who held two million in short positions and tried to cash in the long position, 300K, the day before. This coupled with moving money out of the country, and away from Canada even, I'd think would prompt eye-opening suspicion.
And it does appear that Royer is now singing like a bird, and probably others will follow.
Any possibility that the Elgindy's party bash was, unbeknownst to the attendees, his going-away party. Indeed, given a bit more time he easily could have jumped to Lebanon, especially since he knew he was being heavily investigated on two fronts: a) securities violations; and, b) suspicious 9/11-related financial activity.
Of course, Lebanon is like a province of Syria--what extradition arrangements does America have with either Lebanon or Syria? Any at all? |
