The question is why you did not dispute being extradited to New York. Wow, is that naive. Of course Tony fought this, vigorously. The relevant filing is a 43-pager entitled "Memorandum of Law in Support of Mr. Elgidy's Motion to Dismiss the Indictment for Lack of Venue or to Transfer this Proceeding to the Southern District of California", and was filed on 4/24/03 by his then lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt. Aristox recently posted Breen's profile: "Following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, Breen served as Coordinator of the Capital Markets Unit of the Terrorist Financing Task Force in Washington, D.C. The unit investigated whether profiteering in the financial markets occurred in anticipation of the Sept. 11 attacks." s-ox.com You were able to bring in any witnesses you needed... I guess you haven't been reading along. The government continuously mentioned there may be unindicted co-conspirators, implying that anyone on Tony's site that traded on the similar information he did could also face the same horrific consequences. Many site members have written privately to confirm this was the reason they chose not to testify. Unfortunately for Tony, you really can't blame them. Are you ready to admit your guilt on the 4? Read Tony's original letter if you are truly interested in what he considers the facts on these stocks. As I presume you've seen, many people here have provided links to posts on SI that support Tony's statements. If you think he is lying or misrepresenting anything, feel free to give specifics. I'm sure there are plenty of people here fully capable of giving you accurate answers. ... The remainder of your responses are also of the "I don't believe you" and "ha ha you aren't fooling anyone" variety. My "role" (and SI Bob's, if I may speak for him) is to twofold: 1) allow Tony a chance to tell his side of the story, and 2) allow SI folks an opportunity to place Tony's words in the context of what was presented against him at his trial. The fact you have chosen to totally dismiss Tony's explanation of things as total BS is your prerogative, but doing so in such an offhanded manner (i.e. saying you don't believe this or that without giving specifics that may be challenged factually) seems to be self-serving, IMO. - Jeff

<You have no remorse for what you have been found guilty of. I think the judge should take note, and rule on your sentencing accordingly. > Seems about right, and Anthony@ does seem to have made a habit of dodgy things over the years. The USA does punish people who break the laws to get other people's money by various nefarious means. I like that. They don't seem to gaol people who make simple mistakes in innocence. It gives me confidence in USA investment opportunities to know that people who operate illegally are stopped. The SEC even investigated the SI Great Globalstar Memorial Day Massacre, thinking, mistakenly, that it was an illegal conspiracy to move the market price whereas it was really a fun dehypothecation programme to force shorts out by reducing the number of shares available for shorting. Conspiracies are legal, as are schemes to increase share prices. It's only illegal conspiracies which are illegal. Schemes to move market prices are also legal, for example companies buy their own shares back and cancel them to increase share prices [which seems dopey to me, but that's beside the point]. Companies also split, and combine, shares to affect the share price. I hope Anthony@ goes away for a long stretch. Corrupting the FBI is not good for public order and compliance with laws. I think judges will take a very unfavourable attitude to that. They throw the book at people who challenge the authority of the state. Messing with judges is even worse!! Part of not messing with judges is showing contrition and acceptance of their decisions. As you say, there doesn't seem to be much [or any] in the way of contrition. Mqurice
