That's what seems unjust. Tony's activiities were examined by a grand jury in New York with a focus on terrorism. If Tony were not of Egyptian or Muslim ancestry, his crimes (if they were commmitted) would have gone unnoticed.

I think not. His broker turned him in for suspicious trading activity on Sept 10. Now I will grant you that if his broker knew he was egyptian that may have played a part in his decision to make the task force aware of Tony. But I have to think that when a task force on terrorism is alerted to someone they have to at least look and see. Now if someone in the position of a task force got the information about Tony trying emphatically to sell his children's "hold forever" trust fund long holdings and took a quick look what could he see?

1) recent trips to muslim areas and helped a defense lawyer of muslim rebels relocate to the US from kosovo.

2) His father has known ties to hamas as published somewhere recently.

3) His brother is a palestian symapathizer with many published writings that are anti israel

4) a convicted felon on probation

5) dual citizenship and egyptian passport

What did the task force do when they saw all this? They investigated and claimed Tony had no ties to terrorism that they found but at the same time they found two of their own allegedly on the take and giving tony confidential info. So they investigated further and the rest is in the indictment.

Where is the problem???

One thing you seem to forget is that Tony was turned into the task force by someone who he obviously trusted. This guy had to have believe something to turn in his own client even if he was wrong. The system worked fine and call it bad luck for tony if you want but I call it bad karma and gettin yer due.
