Tyco Pair Sentencing Expected on Sept. 19

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
August 2, 2005; Page C4

NEW YORK -- Former Tyco International Ltd. top executives L. Dennis Kozlowski and Mark H. Swartz will likely be sentenced on Sept. 19 on grand larceny and other charges, prosecutors and defense attorneys said.

Both sides are expected to appear in court for a motions hearing on this afternoon.

A clerk for New York State Supreme Court Justice Michael J. Obus said no official date has been set for their sentencing, but said she expects it to be set at the hearing.

Charles Stillman, one of Mr. Swartz's lawyers, said his understanding is that sentencing will go forward on Sept. 19. Barbara Thompson, a spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, also said the pair are expected to be sentenced on Sept. 19.

Mr. Kozlowski, Tyco's former chief executive, and Mr. Swartz, its ex-chief financial officer, were convicted in June of 22 of 23 counts of grand larceny, conspiracy, securities fraud and falsifying business records in connection with what prosecutors described as the systematic looting of millions of dollars from the conglomerate. Tyco, which has its headquarters in Bermuda, operates out of West Windsor, N.J.

Re: 9/10/05 - [Elgindy] NY Post: Defiant Elgindy Seeks to Keep His Loot

DEFIANT ELGINDY SEEKS TO KEEP HIS LOOT
By RODDY BOYD

September 10, 2005 -- Amr "Anthony" Elgindy, the most infamous dot-com era stock trader, filed papers this week contesting the Feds' demand that he forfeit $12 million of his ill-gotten gains.

Elgindy was convicted in January of parlaying illegal information from former FBI special agent Jeffrey Royer into millions of dollars worth of gains.

He took sensitive information from criminal inquiries and shorted the stocks of companies under investigation.

Elgindy aggressively posted negative publicity — often false — across numerous message boards and Web sites to help drive the price of the stocks he and a few of his colleagues targeted.

He faces a 20-year sentence and is being asked to forfeit $12 million.

Elgindy's defense lawyers argue that the sum total of his illegal trading was $71,000, which included $30,000 in fees he charged subscribers to his site.

They also claim that Elgindy's actions were justified in part because he believed the companies he targeted were "scam companies" where investors were likely to have sustained losses.

In an Internet posting last week, Elgindy said he had "lost my family, friends, business reputation and credibility."

Far from humble though, Elgindy argued that the government was "absurd," to think he would risk his fortune for what he said was only "$41,000" in "profits."

He has been in jail since last April after being caught using a fake name to board a plane at MacArthur Airport. At the time of his arrest, he had $55,000 in cash and jewels in his luggage.
