It says he was going to cash them out. I think it was just the natural timing of a financial transaction. If you do one financial transaction a week as I'm sure he did, then of course he'd do a transaction before 9/11, before every holiday, before every Oscar party. I went to the ATM late on 9/10. Does that mean I'm in bed with the Taliban? The trades he made were also meaningless. One, his attorney said it was $70K and not $700K as the media states. Two, a $70K trade for tony is no big thing. If he was a slimball who knew of the event and wanted to profit, he would have bet the house, not just $70K. As he's a shorter, he's always shorting, every day, before every event, good or bad. That doesn't mean he knows of the upcoming events. I think the media is doing a horrible job of racial profiling here. I think the government is feeding, leaking them some of this stuff. How else would they know of his financial and stock transactions? I didn't see all this in the indictment. The government wants to make it look like they're going after the big bad guy so they can seem justified in taking his house, cars and throwing him in jail with no bail. They want him looking guilty before he ever sets a foot in the trial courtroom and they're doing a good job. They're also trying to play the good guy with the prosecutor stating that 9/11 is not a part of the case to the press yet they probably gave the media that tid bit. We shall see.
