Almost two years ago I had direct contact with a CEO in Dallas, that had claimed Tony showed up at his office and attempted to extort a large amount of shares. The CEO told Tony to get lost and very shortly thereafter there was a major short attack on the stock involving Tony and "friends". The name of that certain stock starts with a "P", just so those of you in the know, know what I am talking about. I believe that if this is true, it can be proven. Just check travel records, witnesses, trading patterns, etc. Oh, and Tony did not show up there alone! I also believe that the government is going to prove their case into the unauthorized obtaining of restricted and confidential information. You see, something that you people, including the media, just don't seem to understand. Even if the information that Tony obtained, was "public information" if it was given to him from FBI files without going through the proper procedure, such as FOIA (Freedom of Information Act), it is against the law!!!! Also receiving information from NCIC, without proper authorization is against the law. Why, because there is BOTH public and non-public information in the NCIC computer. Also, by law, only certain people can access NCIC. That happens to be a computer system that records every entry made, by whom, and the date and time of the inquiry. Now, I won't be surprised if there are more than 70 unlawful inquiries made into the NCIC computer, in behalf of Tony, which can be proved. Do any of you really believe that the FBI would arrest two of their own without having solid evidence of wrong doing! If you do, then you are either in fantasyland or denial All one has to know is the procedure involved in disciplining an FBI agent, let alone the arrest of an agent, and you would understand that Tony is in deep ----. Trust me, there is enough evidence against Tony to put him away for at least 25 years. And, that is one that I wouldn't short! LOL

For example, if the CEO of UPCA claims Anthony tried to extort shares from him, that'd be a relevant bit of information as I think most of us would dismiss that allegation right away. Would you believe MDHM/MDMN?

Bob, This will be a very speculative post. I read somewhere that this entire investigation with Anthony started as the Feds were investigating various money trails to and from Arab charities. Presumably, as a result of Anthony's family who are quite active in such causes. I will make the assumption that Anthony came to the Feds attention in this manner. Apparently, as this story goes, the Feds stumbled across information that appeared in the FBI data base and thus did the Feds interest in Anthony begin. If these assumptions are warranted, and I admit they may not be, this would've begun a rather major investigation into all of Anthony's affairs. Given the nature of the data base information it would've been reasonable for the FBI to contact other companies that Anthony was shorting or had recently shorted. The FBI may have run into some pretty disgruntled CEO's. One can not eliminate the possibility that one or more CEO's made up the extortion story about Anthony to exact their revenge, but on the other hand, I would think that the FBI, faced with this kind of allegation, would've been keenly interested in obtaining taped confirmation of such an act. I don't think they would want to completely rely on the good word of a livid CEO. I'm strongly inclined to believe that the investigation that culminated in Anthony's arrest took place over a period of months. Obviously, none of us are privy to the evidence, but I don't think the FBI are the bumbling keystone cop figures that some attribute to them. My guess is the Feds crossed all the T's and dotted all the i's on this one. If they don't have taped evidence, I myself will strongly support those who prefer the keystone cop version of the FBI.
