First of all, his name is Amr Elgindy, not Anthony. If you still can't get used to that idea, then no amount of reality is going to sway you or influence your opinion. Ever hear of denial? It's that obstacle that is preventing you from recognizing reality. It is sad that his wife and children are going to suffer because of his choices. But he went ahead and made those choices, didn't he? More about this later... I'll say this, with all I've seen so far, I'm inclined to believe him capable of what has been charged. And with his past record as a standard to gauge his ethics, I have no trouble giving the benefit of the doubt to the prosecution. If you want to hold on to your "Dear Anthony", please do. Just don't be surprised when denial doesn't work anymore, as eventually most people move on to the next stage of personal growth. I dispute Amr's ability to trade without benefit of inside knowledge and illicit manipulation of the markets for his own benefit. Whether he is finally proved to have gained unfair advantage in these cited instances, or more that have yet to come to light, it doesn't change the fact that all of his indicated behavior, including his timing with the sale of his kids' investments, points to suspicious activity with respect to pre-knowledge of the 9/11 attacks. What nobody seems to have brought up is his apparent disregard for the welfare of his family and his country. Those are two pretty important pieces of many people's lives, yet Amr appears to have engaged in activities that are going to result in the loss of much, if not all, of his assets leaving his family in a rough position. His family will have to live with the fallout, financially and socially for the rest of their lives. His disregard for the guidelines set up by the SEC for legal conduct of trading seems to indicate the same mindset toward his country. He manipulated markets by disseminating data over the internet to expose weaknesses at company's he was preying on, using information that was improperly gained from FBI sources. He did this, surely, with the knowledge that he stood to lose everything if he was caught, yet he persisted. Is this much different from a suicide bomber or suicidal hijacker who sacrifices himself for the good of the terrorist entity? The only difference is, Amr gets white collar confinement instead of death, but before he gets carted off to prison, he sends plenty of funds to his favorite 'charities' in Lebanon. And who knows how much went before the $700,000? Just so you don't get too much grief from reading this, I acknowledge that I don't have anymore information than is made public. It seems the difference in our opinions stems from the fact that I'm not stuck in denial.
