Taking 40 minutes to tell a federal judge about to sentence you that you are really innocent falls somewhere between incredibly stupid and insane. I do think this whole ordeal has had a serious impact on Tony's not so steady emotional stability. No wonder he never testified himself with this kind of act. I can't wait to see the whole transcript. If Tony could come back and post here, SI management would give him the kind of greeting that Cheney thought US troops would get in Baghdad, LOL. I don't think anyone ever generated page views and buzz like he did.

I would imagine that there are worms out there who love to intimidate, who want freedom of speech, but only for their opinion, who would love a return to the good old days. It ain't gonna happen, thank goodness. People are wiser to tactics of intimidation after everything that has transpired. (Even today, I saw a post by one of his defenders that expressed an opinion on libel, and expressed it as being a fact and not opinion.) Let's face it, what did him in, was not his shorting. The extortion, as bad as it looks, wasn't the key. In my opinion, and this is solely opinion, it was the greed and the in your face, taunting, the bold, the italics, the ========> arrows, the chasing longs from board to board. Your case is an example. It seemed that he saw you as some type of competitor or threat and he and his sheeple attacked you continuously. A brilliant stock analyst and trader, if he had been happy, just doing that, he could have led a good life. That wasn't enough. He needed to show everyone that he was right in 110% of his trades and on 110% of his calls. He needed all the cars, the mansion, the following, the paparazzi lifestyle. Yet, he still had to stomp on perceived enemies, particularly if they were down. I'm sure everyone remembers the glee that was expressed when others lost money, or went to jail or even when that guy died. (I think there were a couple of guys that died for which there were happy memorials expressed.) I asked in an earlier post here with respect to sentencing, "What would Anthony have said," with respect to a similar fact pattern that involved one of his perceived enemies. None of his defenders ever gave an opinion. Message 22229212
