I guess it's only sad if you have a heart. My mother would say that he was once someone's little boy (and I would probably roll my eyes). What she would really mean by this type of comment is that he had big hopes and big dreams, but he was too weak to stand on his own to accomplish them. He wasn't an adult. Hell, he wasn't even adult enough to use a real gun. Yes, it is sad. I sometimes question whether trading is an adult endeavor. To me, the way Tim died is anecdotal evidence that it is not. Does anyone have any good picks?

The fact of the matter is you would never have had the balls to tell him that to his face. The sad thing about you is that you even exist. Cheers

You must have a pitiful existence, I'll remember Tim as a standup guy and a good friend. Why would He use a plastic gun to rip someone off as you say when Tim had real handguns, maybe you should think before you proclaim your ignorance and bitterness by opening your trap here Einstein!

Optus spins New Tel out the door Geoff Elliott December 11, 2002 THE dream is over for New Tel chief executive Peter Malone and Richard Steggal, would-be saviour of the Perth-based junior telco. One of New Tel's biggest creditors, Optus, owed more than $10 million, yesterday appointed accountants Phil Carter and Greg Hall of PWC as joint administrators of the struggling company. The administrators walked into New Tel's Sydney offices yesterday evening, bringing to a close an extraordinary month in which Mr Malone did all he could to stave off the appointment of independent managers to a company that is already under investigation by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for insolvent trading. Mr Malone and Mr Steggall had been brothers in arms in trying to save the company. Late yesterday they walked into Optus's offices all guns blazing. They were in and out in under 10 minutes, shown the door by Optus business manager Rohan Lund, who did not believe Mr Steggall's claims that his Broadcast & Wireless Ltd group was independently funded. Both Mr Steggall and Mr Malone had been confident before the meeting. Mr Steggall said he was going to negotiate "bloody hard" while Mr Malone had told employees everything would be fine. "We have got the funding in place," Mr Steggall said as he walked to the Optus building. "Malone is here to clarify his position. We are going to go in bloody hard, our documentation proves we have independent funding. But if Optus want to screw, they will screw us." After they had walked out, Mr Steggall telephoned The Australian: "The meeting is over, I guess you know the outcome." Mr Steggall, 26, who is serving a three-year suspended sentence for fraud and who has used two different names in company filings, was the frontman for the mysterious BWL. The Australian had revealed its close connections with New Tel, with sources revealing that New Tel itself appeared to be funding BWL's efforts to restructure New Tel's debts, a money go-round that left Optus exposed. Any deal almost certainly would have been unwound at a later date since it would be regarded as a preferential payment to a creditor. Mr Steggall denied New Tel was funding BWL but has had few answers to questions that arose out of BWL's sudden appearance on the radar screen with claims to more than $70 million in funding. BWL had proposed buying Telstra's and Optus's debts - they were owed about $22 million - for about 50c in the dollar. New Tel admitted in a statement last week it was to pay BWL cash, as well as shares, if it could pull off the transaction. Yesterday, a Telstra spokeswoman backed the Optus decision to appoint an independent administrator to New Tel. She said it had been Telstra's preferred option. The appointment of the administrator means New Tel may continue to trade but serious doubts about its ability even to pay its salaries could still see the business wound up. The Australian has learnt that ASIC has interviewed Mr Malone and other executives over suspicions the company may have traded while insolvent from mid-October. Just three years ago, Mr Malone was riding high, having raised more than $100 million from shareholders on the back of a claim that New Tel would become the America Online of China, a reference to the biggest media and internet company in the US.

SEC FILES FRAUD CHARGES AGAINST AMPLIDYNE, INC. AND ITS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, DEVENDAR BAINS On May 22, the Commission filed a settled action in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Amplidyne, Inc. (Amplidyne) and its President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Devendar S. Bains (Bains). The Commission's complaint alleges that Amplidyne and Bains violated the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements concerning Amplidyne's purported entry into the high-speed Internet wireless access market. The Commission's complaint alleges that on Sept. 9, 1999, Amplidyne issued a press release, drafted and approved by Bains, announcing that it had developed, and was offering for sale, a new set of products to provide high-speed Internet access many times faster than certain existing dial-up services. The press release was materially false and misleading because Amplidyne did not have this new set of products available for sale. Specifically, Amplidyne had not even obtained two of the three essential components that comprised the new set of products. Amplidyne was weeks, if not months, away from being able to assemble, field-test, demonstrate and ship the new set of products to customers. In addition, Amplidyne could not legally offer to sell or even market the new set of products under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. The complaint alleges that after the press release was issued on Sept. 9, 1999, Amplidyne's stock price more than tripled, rising to $10.25 relative to the previous day's closing price of $3.125. Trading volume in Amplidyne stock also increased dramatically, rising from 211,500 shares traded the day before the press release, to more than 17 million shares traded on Sept. 10, 1999. The Commission's complaint also alleges that Bains, during CNBC's "Squawk Box" program on Sept. 14, 1999, falsely stated that the new set of products had been successfully field-tested over a 50-mile distance and that Amplidyne was ready to sell it. In reality, Amplidyne had never field-tested the products, there was no evidence that the products would work as Bains claimed, and Amplidyne did not have a finished set of products ready to sell. Simultaneously with the filing of the complaint, Amplidyne and Bains, without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, consented to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining both from violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. In addition, Bains agreed to pay a civil penalty of $50,000. The Commission thanks the FCC for its cooperation and assistance in this matter. [SEC v. Amplidyne, Inc. and Devendar S. Bains, Civil Action No. 03 Civ 2425 (GEB) (D.N.J.)] (LR-18157)
