he got into the habit of using Tony as it made him less of a target of prejudice in his youth. And I thought it was because there were only two types of people in the world, Italians and those who want to be. ;)

I am concerned that your use of Tony's legal name, Amr, is intended to bring attention to the fact that he is of Egyptian birth - a foreigner - as if that should influence our opinion of him. maybe you should have been more concerned with why he DIDN'T use his real name... or why he MADE UP a fake, non muslim name... or why he was afraid to admit he was egyptian... or why he didn't tell anyone he was a muslim when he was trying to raise money for muslim organisations and pretending not to be egyptian or muslim...

Peter I don't ascribe to hanging em' high on every charge But based on his past actions, his greed, and his nature- many of these charges fall right into place. Don't you find it too coincidental how he timed his recent "PR's" within a day or two prior to an official gov't announcement?. Wouldn't you agree that most of these same post bubble calls have been overwhelmingly in the long established seedy OTC:BB. They are/were useless to most and were centered around criminal pasts of mgt. Even most of his short calls during the frenzy were ill-timed and required an excessive amount of margin and prayer, if one were to eventually profit from them. I don't have an MBA and I wasn't impressed with his repeated rants that net stocks were grossly overpriced in comparison to "old economy" stocks. Nor with his methods. Biz 101 made that clear enough. Playing the net stocks was a pure gamble into uncharted territory. Tony/amr was no The facts and his postings demonstrate that he was desperate to preserve his status - post bubble. And based on what I've witnessed, he'd do it at any cost.
