Obsessed would be more accurate. Huxley put it well when he said; Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful. mad2

I'll let the FBI run it now. Gee I wonder who has been the voice for him. DJ 2 FBI Agents Indicted In US Stock Fraud 05/22/2002 Dow Jones News Services (Copyright © 2002 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) NEW YORK (AP)--Two FBI agents helped a stock analyst extort publicly traded companies by providing confidential information on investigations of the companies, authorities alleged Wednesday. Lynn Wingate, an FBI agent assigned to the bureau's Albuquerque, N.M, office; Jeffrey Royer, a former agent who resigned late last year; and analyst Amr "Tony" Elgindy were among five defendants charged in a securities fraud indictment unsealed in federal court in Brooklyn. The indictment accuses the agents of using FBI databases to provide their co-conspirators with inside information, and also to track a grand jury investigation targeting the alleged scheme in exchange for cash. The charges "reveal a shocking partnership between an experienced stock manipulator and law enforcement agents, undertaken for their illicit personal financial gain," said U.S. Attorney Alan Vinegrad. Elgindy and an associate, Troy Peters, were in custody in San Diego; Royer and Wingate in Albuquerque; and the fifth defendant, another Elgindy associate, Derrick Cleveland, in Oklahoma City, pending court appearances. If convicted of conspiracy, each defendant could receive 20 years in prison. (END) DOW JONES NEWS 05-22-02 12:37 PM

FBI Raids Stock Trader's Olivenhain Home Agents Say Case Sealed Posted: 12:20 p.m. PDT May 22, 2002 Updated: 3:23 p.m. PDT May 22, 2002 SAN DIEGO -- The FBI and sheriff's deputies raided the upscale home of a San Diego-based stock analyst in Olivenhain Tuesday night, 10News reported. Amr Elgindy, also known as "Tony" Elgindy, was taken into custody in San Diego. He's among five defendants charged in a securities fraud investigation unsealed in a New York court Wednesday. An FBI agent in New Mexico and a former agent from Oklahoma City allegedly accepted payments to give Elgindy information on publicly traded companies. Elgindy then spread negative information about the companies on his Web site and to e-mail subscribers. Elgindy and the others face several charges including racketeering. If convicted, the 34-year-old analyst could receive up to 20 years in prison. At least four cars and a U-Haul truck were taken from a home owned by the stock trader, who has been referred to as the "Mad Max of Wall Street," 10News reported. The home is located on the 2200 block of Calle Tres Vistas. Mystery surrounding the raid caused a stir among neighbors, including several who told 10News that they know little of the family. The family has reportedly lived at the home for eight months. "He is not shy with the money he spends. It's obvious he likes to spend the money," neighbor Rose Marie Davison said. Elgindy was sentenced May 13 by a Texas judge for felony mail fraud. He had been scheduled to turn himself into authorities on June 11, according to 10News. Copyright 2002 by TheSanDiegoChannel.com.
