The San Diego Tribune story shows at least the local press is looking at both sides of the story. Anyone think CourtTV will carry the trial? Should we request same?

Is it just me or does that article give anyone else the feeling that not only does the government not have a case against Anthony, it's going to be very embarassed by its attempt to make a patsy of him? Elgindy suggested the money was not a bribe but instead a loan. Cleveland and Royer were childhood friends, he says, adding that "Royer, as I understand, is financially destitute, with $150,000 in debts." If true (easily verified, I'd think), it seems to me everything in the indictment that has anything to do with "bribing an FBI agent" can simply be wiped right out. Seems to me that it's very likely that the only "case" the government might be able to make against him is that he extorted or tried to extort shares from companies in return for "calling off the dogs" (is that more illegal than an IR firm accepting shares as payment to sing a company's praises?) or that he intentionally disseminated false information about companies, and I sure haven't seen any details yet regarding that allegation. I just hope that if some of these charges get dropped, that the government hasn't stolen enough of his money to prevent him mounting a vigorous counter-suit. That 9/11 tie-in is utter BS and any observer knows it and he deserves several pounds of flesh from the government over that one alone. A very irresponsible charge in light of the fact that countless thousands of people saw him publicly ask everyone to "do the right thing" and not short the market post-9/11. I was initially feeling disappointed in Anthony because of some of the more credible-sounding charges, but that's slowly evolving into outright anger at what may turn out to be the government very aggressively making a patsy out of a comparatively small (but visible) fish to deflect the unwanted attention that's starting to focus on their either allowing or being complicit in far worse scams perpetrated on the investing public.

"But much of the information Elgindy allegedly obtained was not confidential. Instead, it was available free on the Internet or for minimal charges from state police departments. If it was indeed public information, that would damage the government's charges that Elgindy was trading on insider information." Has the author of this article conveniently left out the detail that info regarding the investigation itself was passed along? Forget about stock related info...finding a leak about an investigation to a person being investigated is much more damaging imo. And since the govt. is approaching the case as a RICO violation with Tony at the center it seems that they wouldn't just say "well culpability for this part here rests only on Royer and his "girlfriend" cuz they're the ones that leaked it".
