Gator, Because the BW article only touches upon certain aspects of that incident and you are ignorant of the whole truth about that matter, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but you seemed to have completely missed the point on the rest. Anthony has dedicated his work to putting the chop shops out of business. That's the whole purpose of this thread. How can you miss that point? He identifies scam stocks backed by people with criminal pasts, or hyped out of sight with distorted or phony press releases. He tries to protect investors from the scam; he didn't create the problem. Regarding the BW information about Anthony, I have heard the ENTIRE truth, in detail, about that incident and everything that led up to it at Anthony's seminar. It was an incredible story and there are very few people who could have gone through what he experienced at the hands of the scum who set him up and survived. You should know "the rest of the story." I'll do the best I can from memory... Anthony was the person who alerted the authorities when he saw his "partner" making cash payments to other brokers. He cooperated fully with them and even wore a wire to tape conversations. Realizing that his partner and the hand picked staff were all crooked, he fired them all. Anthony then called in the auditors. Keep in mind, that Anthony was a highly successful stock salesman. He didn't run the back office or know how to run the specialized equipment. When he fired the staff, there was no one left who knew how to enter orders. While sitting with the auditor, he wanted to do some trades for his own account and sat at the order entry terminal which he had never used before. As Anthony entered orders, the auditor sat next to him in disbelief for awhile and then informed Anthony that he had just entered a series of orders on a SOES terminal to trade his own account and that was a violation of the rules. That, sir, is what earned Anthony the fines. After having his very successful business crash around his ears, finding himself suddenly 1.8M in debt, and while suffering clinical depression, he didn't realize he was using a SOES terminal to trade his own account, but used it while the auditor was watching. The fines could have been massive. The authorities appreciated his efforts to bring the crooks to justice and didn't want to be tough on Anthony, but they were in a bind because they WITNESSED the violation. It took years before they arrived at a small fine which they permitted him to pay off monthly. I hope Anthony doesn't mind me sharing this story. It's the truth, as best I can remember it. Anthony has always been 100% honest and sincere in his efforts to reveal the scams. It is unfortunate that the mob took advantage of his youth (the youngest licensed broker in California) and incredible talent for selling stocks to use him as a front for their schemes. It is also unfortunate that people cannot possibly know the details of how all that came about. Instead, they all too frequently dredge up the fines and charges from that incident to malign a really good person who looks out for all of you. Regarding the criminals Anthony identified? He got even. They went to jail.

Gator, I'm not an A@P supporter or basher but I do have one comment regarding your post. No one wants this loser back!!! Read the latest from Business Week.... If an article from 1997 is the "latest" you really need to get more current in your reading. LOL Fast Eddie

"The NASD complaint alleges that 'Elgindy was suffering from severe mental illness' at the time of the trading abuses. Elgindy maintains that was a reference to severe depression. LoRusso also asserts that Elgindy misappropriated funds and failed to disclose regulatory problems, which resulted in a suit by LoRusso to rescind his deal to buy into the firm. LoRusso's allegations are denied by Elgindy, who settled the suit by agreeing to rescind the deal." That quote from the Business Week article you cited explains alot. Might even explain why someone would create another alias to continue posting on a site he was banned from, or why someone would continue to fight to regain membership to a site he was banned from. I thought it was a sure sign of desperation, but Business Week may be right.

Gator, Are you dense or simply wanting to perpetuate a lie? Please read this post to you again and, if you think it's not accurate, say so, point out where, and we can talk about it. Otherwise, stop posting links to two year old articles that have been addressed over and over again so you can mislead the new readers here. Message 11455865 It's obvious you have an agenda for which the truth has no relevance. The whole article you referenced talks about scam stock operations, and how Anthony found himself in the middle of one (at the age of 23, I believe) after the crooks encouraged and supported him in setting up his own firm. They recognized he was one of the best stock salesman alive and took advantage of that. He was completely unaware of their purpose until he witnessed cash payments and blew the whistle himself. If you continue to take that behavior and present it as nefarious, you are perpetuating a lie. In any case, I think you are slime by continuing to attack someone who cannot respond here. We get your point: you don't want him back. Move on to other things that might contribute here.
