Unless his bail conditions allowed him wide-ranging travel under false IDs to put together his legal defense, he was breaking the law again. Eventually it must dawn on him, even Tony Elgindy, that breaking the law over and over and coming up with a bunch of lame excuses is a losing proposition. "But gee, Your Honor, I had to...." is not a legal defense. Not a successful one at any rate.

I do believe he has paid a huge price for what he did. We are in agreement there... Tony was an interesting poster and contributor on SI. I only know that I caught him lying years earlier, and knew that what he wanted people to believe about himself was different than what he actually was doing. I wish him well, but agree with Tommy.

Jeffrey, are you an Adult? The Fake ID cover story is the most pathetic contrived POS story every concocted to cover up a crime. Let me disassemble it for you. 1. Tony had a huge war chest to spend on his legal defense, and spend it he did to get the best attorney he could. 2. The mystery witnesses that he had to search the country for is just a child's story. As someone else already said you make it sound like he is "searching for the real killers" He could have hired someone to find whomever, but to be sure there were no witnesses that he could call upon to change the out come. The entire proposition that Elgindy needed witnesses to testify for him is a false direction and deliberate miscuing. 3. Directly to your question. NO it is not possible for anyone to conclude that while they are under house arrest that it would be a good idea for them to search for anyone. Jeffery you do recall he was under home confinement with all of his travel needing approval. 4. Elgindy was not a trained investigator. He did due diligence on stocks, he had no known skills in being a gumshoe detective. 5. Whom was he going to use this Fake ID with to search for Ken Cook? Have you been watching the Rockford files after you get home from High School? 6. It is not surely obvious that Elgindy traveled anywhere as you maintain.. My understanding is he was under home confinement and wearing an electronic bracelet around his ankle. 7. He did not go to Montana to get a Drivers License. Don't you get it Jeffery? He went to the local boarding crossing crew...and bought some a fake ID. He did not go up to Montana and go inside the DMV. If he had done that it would have been another charge against him. What do you think was in Montana? 8. You say Elgindy did not have access to any money. YOU SAID THAT....OMG seriously Jeffery are you an Adult? Are you someone's little kid? I will come back to your "he had no money" statement. 9. Travel coupons...okay. Expiring ones? Okay. And the reason he needed to the use the FAKE ID was? Coupons were bought under what name? Not his real one? This is just nuts, coupons mean nothing, even if they were expiring. He could have traveled under his own name to go back with those coupons. All he needed to do was call up his lawyers and he could have flown home without all of this. He was up to something. Because this story of coupons hold about as much water as spaghetti strainer does. 10. So he is carrying something like 50,000 dollars in straight cash and jewelry, and suddenly he does not have enough money for a 250 dollar ticket from Florida to San Diego. Single way ticket, easily 250 or less. Instead you want us to think for 250 dollars he decided to put himself at risk for 20 years of prison, ( the max sentence for what these crimes are ) This is the most ridiculous cover story ever. Why wouldn't he just call his lawyer and get it handled? He could have still used the coupon. Why wouldn't he use his real name with the coupon, and at least avoid all this risk? Nothing explains that. Why did he already have a Fake ID with his picture on it, what was he planning. Why did he continue to lie even after the found his picture with he real name, and the prescription bottles with his real name. Sorry Jeffery, nothing about this cover story match any reasonable version of truth. This was not some sort of innocent mistake all in order to save 250 dollars. Frankly with this explanation, I truly wonder if he got on that plane that day, if the other passengers would have been in physical danger of what Elgindy may have been planning. The government concluded he was indeed trying to flee, they said the evidence at trial showed it clearly. I read some those transcripts, and they were amazing. He keep on trying to wiggle out, until they found the pill bottles with the same name as the photo ID for the law offices. I have no idea what he was doing still, but this explanation just raises up a major alarm flag. You have a desperate man, and admitted desperate man, hopped up on Morphine and other drugs he was carrying. Thankfully he was stopped at that gate before any worse case scenario . He planned far enough in advance to have a fake ID where he had not legal, ethical, or functional need to have one. His fake ID had zero to do with his defense. Jeffery what he was dong was not some sort of innocent mistake. You know better than that, or you are a boy without any common sense. If you want to post what his explanation is, do it, but this fantasy writing of YOURS not his...is a joke. This use of False ID , lying to the authorities, carrying tons of cash and jewelry, was not all about saving 250 dollars in air fair. No way, no how. Ironically this is same load of crap that Elgindy tried to sell to a Jury, who did not buy it. All to save 250 dollars GMAFB

Read more A witness could bring an organized crime family crashing down in this episode of the HBO television series created by David Chase. Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) is distressed to learn that a witness has identified him as being in the area where a traitorous mob lieutenant was murdered. He visits his lawyer, Neil Mink (David Margulies), to discuss a strategy of stalling the feds, and delivers a bag of cash, Tony's rainy day fund for his wife and kids should he be arrested. Tony's also upset when his son, Anthony Jr. (Robert Iler), prefers to hang out with his friends at the mall rather than spend time with his dad, but Tony then promptly forgets his son's swim meet. After a meeting with Tony, Soprano family muscle Richie Aprile (David Proval) complains to Tony's Uncle Junior (Dominic Chianese) about the shoddy treatment they're both getting. Junior warns Richie about the treacherous Janice (Aida Turturro), who's letting Richie hold a gun to her head during sex. As payment for the massive gambling debt of his old pal, Davey Scatino (Robert Patrick), Tony and his crew take over Davey's outdoor store, running up the limit on all of Davey's lines of credit, intending to sell the merchandise on the street and bankrupt the business. A depressed Davey sleeps in a tent in his store, never returning home and contemplating suicide. Meanwhile, Pussy (Vincent Pastore) gives the FBI a list of investors in the Webistics scam and Tony's wife, Carmela (Edie Falco), has a crush on virile, widowed wallpaper hanger Vic Musto (Joe Penny), Davey's brother-in-law. Their flirtation threatens to become something more, but then Vic meets Davey for lunch and learns that Carmela's husband is a mob kingpin who has ruined Davey's family. Vic offers to pay for the college tuition of his nephew and breaks off his friendship with Carmela, sending an assistant to finish the wallpaper job. Tony learns that the witness against him learned of his identity and is now refusing to testify. The mob boss is so elated, he walks out of a therapy session with Dr. Melfi (Lorraine Bracco). His daughter, Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler), learns that she's been accepted at some top colleges, giving the family cause for celebration. "Bust-Out," which was called "Deus Ex Machina" until a last-minute title change, originally aired March 19, 2000. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide entertainment.msn.com
