The question you pose may well turn out true, relative to Elgindy's disposition of his childrens' trust. But aren't those trust positions when purchased bought with an understanding there'll be hills and valleys through the course of their maturity? And think. There's more than that. When you couple the above action with Elgindy's two million dollar day-before/day-of short positions, together with a gradual tablesetting for potential residency and business in Lebanon, a nation with no reliable extradition treaty with the U.S., and a power of attorney assigned to his wife, no matter how you might wish to view it, the situation becomes an eyeopener for federal prosecutors. So personally I think they did what they had to do. Now let's ask what's the typical federal modus operandi when dealing with the various kinds of 9/11 suspects? Well, many of 'em get charged with non-related offenses and the feds then are able to heighten and multitask the overall resources for a more thorough investigation. Doesn't it seem this is what happened? From what I've read they could have gone the drug war route and brought Elgindy in that way. They didn't. And why would they when it seems they've got Royer, Wingate and maybe some others to help hook Elgindy in on RICO and thus possibly open doors in what I'd imagine is now an extremely widespread investigation into the world international finance and its potential impact and relationship to 9/11? If you're the feds and you're goin' for the money, Elgindy was sitting there like a pond duck. I think if there's a smokescreen in all of this it comes from our government putting together a national campaign highlighting 'if you buy drugs you support terrorists' when the reality may well be 'if you buy or short stocks you may be supporting terrorists.' Ironic, ain't it?
