Man do you sugar coat it! Tony Elgindy was a chop shop broker fleecing old ladies for their lives savings for houses like Blinder Robinson. He ratted out and rolled on his co-conspirators when they got nailed by the feds for selling worthless stocks. He then exploited his "informer" status by posing as a Robin Hood working with the FBI, not a stoolie ratting out other house brokers ripping off old ladies. His 20/20 appearance was a farce. He not only scammed Lloydd Richards, he took the spoils and opened Key West, his first (investigative) front. He then went on doing, on the short side ,what he did long - con investors in manipulated tightly held markets. What stands out though was that Elgindy often chose Arab operated/owned ventures like IRID (bin Laden Group), GENI (Khashoggi & El-Bawtri) and Nassar decor venture to manipulate which suggests, since these were tightly held ventures, stock promotions/manipulation. Elgindy's "fate" will depend on whether he can be accountable for his actions.
As for the ties to terrorism, the ties Elgindy has are to FINANCIERS of terrorism. The current counts Elgindy is defending were born of Breen's terrorism investigation which is still on-going. Anyone familiar with the Cantor Fitzgerald and Motley civil cases knows its a long way from "over". If your brother is visting Iraq with with bin laden's IIRO and your father set-up a web of these fronts/orgs for global terrorist Muhammad Salah and Tony himself was a self-proclaimed agent of an al Qeada "relief" front, MTHO, that took in money on SI under the guise of assistance to "Albanian Refugees" when, in fact, the money was used to transport KLA members into the US, with the assistance of Spencer Abraham, who received campaign contributions from Almoudi's AMC, an off-shoot org of Sami Al-Arian's IAP, the same AMC that Khaled Elgindy is aligned to, etc etc, one has to believe the AUSA's terror investigation is watching and learning from the Cantor Fitzgerald & Motley civil suits v. the financiers of 9/11. |
