Actually, the most revealing of Tony's bank wires came to public attention on November 9, 2004 in "The New York Times." Recall in that article, Tony wired $6 million, no small sum, to Mercy International...

That's funny. My version of the NY Times says nothing of the sort. In one paragraph it quotes hearsay from Cleveland about information he allegedly received from yet another source about $6M liquidated from Elgindy's childrens' trust accounts. As the press has been reporting for years (including the NY Times) this figure was only $300K. The next paragraph (important grammatical note: changes in paragraphs in the English language often denote changes in topics) states Elgindy possibly gave some money to Mercy International. It absolutely doesn't say he wired it, states any amount at all, or implies it was the trust fund money.

Even Lucky Girl has disassociated herself with what you self-describe as the "most-revealing" part of your argument. I suggest you take this opportunity to apologize before we are forced to draw the conclusion you are continually making this glaring error deliberately.

Mr. Cleveland was allowed to continue with his testimony, recounting how he learned that Mr. Elgindy was a subject in a criminal investigation. Mr. Cleveland said that Jeffrey A. Royer, an F.B.I. agent who was the source of that information and a defendant in the case, told him that investigators were looking into $6 million that Mr. Elgindy had liquidated from two brokerage companies, Charles Schwab and Salomon Smith Barney, shortly before Sept. 11.

Mr. Royer also relayed information that the government was examining the money Mr. Elgindy gave to Mercy International, which Mr. Breen described as a "Middle Eastern charity."
