Some people are asking insightful questions here, and some are also providing very useful, verifiable information.
rruff asks a good question here, which has been generally ignored as a topic on this board. Is Elgindy alleging the Feds planted the phony ID, cash, etc., on him to frame him? I don't think so.
Louie has put up the best consolidated synthesis of the information on Elgindy's questionable Middle Eastern links, better than has been seen anywhere to my knowledge. It is sufficient on its face to raise an investigation into State Terrorism charges. Does anyone think that hasn't started/happened already?
Ask the family of any of Elgindy's victims about what kind of terrorist they think he is, and they will tell you: a Financial Terrorist. Taped death threats, extortion of shares for silence, and more are on the record of Elgindy, known to all of you.
And that doesn't mean a substantial number of the victims and their companies didn't deserve to be crushed. They did. It was the innocent public shareholders of the bad companies and actors who deserved to be protected first by the Government regulators tasked with that job, one they seem to be unable to handle, even to this day.
There was and is a "vigilante" element here that did no one any good. The regulator who came up with the phrase describing shorts as "Unregulated Policemen", should spend the rest of their life in either Prison or Liberia, where they would certainly gain a better personal understanding of real vigilantes. The very concept of "Unregulated Policemen" borders on treason, as it is an attack on our fundamental system of modern law.
It hasn't been difficult to identify many of you. To those of you with the ego needs, the names of those like Peter Michaelson, Don DiGiorno (sic?), Floyd Schneider, Janice Shell and others are in the open and well known, and they seem to like it.
Demands on my professional time are such that this will probably be my last post. If I am back in the future, you can know it will be for a reason. If it is of any interest to all of you generally, this Board has the most intense concentration of bad actors and well-intended good ones over any other Board my experts have looked at.
For the good actors, stick with more substance and detail, as have those like Louie and Lucky Girl and a few others among you, and see if you can get some kind of debate started. If you do, more people like me will be back. Debate isn't started with one line personal insults for responses, but genuine exchange of not only facts and ideas on narrow topical issues, but also bigger ideas surrounding them.
The one line unsupported responses are what keep Raging Bull the Gong Show it is, something not worthy of having attention paid to it. I am not interested generally in spending my time listening to paid bashers or pumpers (I have never been either), nor am I curious about the many genuine criminal scum dogs associated with $4.00 posts.
I am interested in getting back equal to what I give. I know that some of you here are the same. Maybe the answer is simply not to pay any attention to posters who put up lots of posts with little substance in them. That is how you will hurt them the worst, simply ignore them.
I would estimate that I have gotten personal responses to about 80% of my posts. Only about 20% of those actually started a dialog on my content, and only 10% questioned my facts. That makes this a non-productive investment. If you want to keep informed people on this site, whether or not you agree with them, query them on sources, and ask substantive questions, whether public or private.
I expect this board to disappear if and when Elgindy is convicted as is generally expected. Having said that, you all should be making plans about where you will meet in cyberspace if that happens. 99% of the Boards out there are simply gibberish, that no intelligent person will pay attention to. This one shows some potential promise, more than it probably showed when Elgindy was present.
Further, people with a real and demanding life will have trouble even bothering to search for the survivor site, not unless they are pointed to it by a friend, as I was to this one. But remember I had an objective, and it wasn't just to vent. I am front and center in the investigation into a scandal that could crash the American Financial System to the favor of certain vested interests. I consider the conduct of these vested interests, both domestic and international, to cross the line from counterfeiting/organized crime into the space of Treason.
Various Federal agencies have received criminal referrals on issues surrounding both Financial Terrorism and Counterfeiting, involving not only global organized crime of every persuasion, but also many forms of State Terrorism. I have read many of the most important such referrals. Anyone here who thinks that these potential criminal actions are coming or is bull manure needs psychiatric care.
If you can help out this problem with substantive information or informed opinion, as has Louie, you do a service to the entire system. I was here to do a similar service. There is an absolute standard of right and wrong that will be applied here, and there are clear differences on this Board between those who are right and those who are wrong. This is a straight legal battle, not much of a political one yet.
This site hasn't been as exciting as I'd hoped, but it has been completely productive. A final point: SI hasn't generally been the problem here, and I have pointed that out where it has mattered. By comparison, with the exception of this Board, generally SI as a venue is a major step above Raging Bull (which I consider a toilet with no flush handle), even over Yahoo Finance's Boards, which are starting to look like they are getting Raging Bull "bleedover".
That's it for while, maybe forever. Best of Luck.
