regarding the issue of ap "ratting"... i believe the emchweiller book (sorry jon if i slaughtered your name) 'scam dogs and momomammas' detailed several examples of tony ratting out people he worked with and was involved in *bad deeds* with, to save his own skin... even tho he actually was doing the bad deeds along with them...

this was brought to light in the trial when one of the sec attorneys he used as a witnessed backed that story. ap also admitted wearing a wire to expose guards in the fed joint who were doing something wrong. i forget what.

in a story ap told me the first time i met him, he explained how he'd taken his wife to the islands to meet a bad guy promoter... ap stayed with the promoter at his lavish pad and the promoter gave his wife hundred dollar bills to shop with every morning (she added that tidbit)... the promoter wanted ap to make market in his stock at i believe key west. after the delux vaca, tony said he got a few hundred thousand free shares from the guy. so what did he do?

he very proudly explained how he sold the stock, shorted a pile more, called the fbi, had the guy arrested and made a pile of money on his short... he then proudly told me the guy ended up dead of a heart attack in jail awaiting trial.

i was dumbfounded. my jaw literally dropped open. i ask him why he'd done that - didn't he think if he was going to short the guy's stock and try to crush him, maybe he should not have taken the guys hospitality, let his wife take hundreds of free dollars to shop on every day or accept a pile of free stock?

his response. he contemplated for a second, then said "well, maybe i shouldn't have done that, but the guy's dead now so wtf, he can't come get me".

when i returned from my trip i pm'd everyone i knew on si and warned them against ap. this was shortly after ap started on si around the srcm days...

so, i guess the point of me telling this story. i think everything you hear about tony doing anything to rat on anybody to help himself is likley right on the money.

that said. how can you read this:

"he said that he'd someday employ Mr. Cramer to gnaw his lawn."

and not fall over laughing? the guy was a riot..
