Peter, Sorry, but this press release sounds like some kind of weird trial balloon put out by Elgindy's attornies. I don't blame them for trying, but it's got a lot of holes in it. Imagine for a moment what would've happened if Elgindy had formally written the FBI requesting 'publicly available information' on particular individuals. You know full well that the FBI would've sent him an FU letter. It is utterly inappropriate for the FBI to offer this service or to allow it's agents to offer this service to private individuals. If they did that the ACLU would've gone ballistic, and rightfully so. Elgindy has 'suggested' the the $30,425 was a loan? The only jury that could possibly believe this was disbanded the day after O.J. was found not guilty. A fair jury will look to see who profited from the 'loan' and what was received in return. Nice try.

I don't think what may have been publicly available information will detract from allegations that Elgindy's FBI connections were still doing his bidding by seeking information from the FBI's own databanks on subjects who were targets of Elgindy-led attacks. That on subject Elgindy postings followed the FBI databank inquries is telling enough, don't you think? "Anthony" Elgindy is unlikely a Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon Papers fame. I suspect we'll see a plea bargain arrangement of some kind; and I further suspect they'll also be an SEC investigation and conclusion in the matter. On a positive note, it's good to see the press looking at all sides.

I agree with you peter and the author, that most of the info was available publically and I have always said i highly doubt the 30,000 was a "bribe" but calling it a loan seems even more ludicrous. However, the issue of Royer letting Tony know there were pending FBI investigations into certain companies/individuals would seem to me to be the most valuable and only non-public info Tony got from Royer if in fact he was made aware of such investigations. Then there is the extortion issue. Getting already public info sure can;t be a crime and I personally rememebr pulling Rich McBride's criminal past from the Florida DOC website without ever hearing of Royer or FBI info. Mcbride lived in Florida and it was common practice to try and get criminal histories of any suspect ceo. I myself ran up thousands of dollars in knowx and informus bills running such searches on suspect company officers and I shared that info with tony's site regularly when i was a member. Personally if no further charges come up against Tony, I bet he is out of jail long before any of you forget who he is. This is no way reflects what I think of TOny or what I think should happen to him. It is what I think is the reality of the case against him. Just remember if nothing else, Tony can always be used as a bad example.
