Re: Maybe true, but all those transactions are traceable Then why haven't we heard about all those who bought puts on airline stocks and shorted insurance stocks? It's been more than a year and yet not a word.

all those transactions are traceable This was big news on SI back in September, 2001. Option trades are public record (the fact that they happened, not the parties) plus brokers gossip. Sure looked like a smoking gun. No idea what has ever become of it. I was wondering myself last week. Hope they are following up on it. Not sure how many FBI/CIA types understand options. My understanding is that the transactions were in the name of shell corporations that were inside shell corporations inside shell corporations . . . . traceable, of course, but in the meantime, I imagine the accounts are frozen.
