That is something you and I do agree on, it was interesting. hey, you remember the lead prosecutor in tonys case? you know he also served as Coordinator of the Capital Markets Unit of the Terrorist Financing Task Force in Washington, D.C.? As head of the unit that investigated whether profiteering occurred in the financial markets in anticipation of the September 11, 2001 attacks, he coordinated the efforts of the Department of Justice, FBI, SEC, CFTC, NASD, NYSE, CBOE, other exchanges and members of the securities industry according to his biographical information. He also lectured and advised trade groups, broker-dealers, hedge funds, mutual funds and other financial services firms on issues involving counter-terrorism and anti-money laundering compliance programs.fulbright.com Judge Dearie made it clear early in the trial that no testimony about terrorism would be heard and there would be no evidence that tony or others were involved in 9/11. Yet tonys lawyer seemed to want to touch on the subject in my opinion based on some of the transcript: Long - Direct/Berke 6150 11 MR. LEVINE: Your Honor, since Mr. Berke is 12 interested in going into whether or not Mr. Elgindy had 13 really good information on the relationship between Osama 14 Bin-Laden and other people. It certainly seems to me, 15 Your Honor. 16 Well, Your Honor -- 17 THE COURT: I'm not laughing, the point is the 18 absurdity. 19 MR. BERKE: Judge, if early in the trial you 20 made a -- it's been a long trial, the Government claimed 21 that that statement that Mr. Elgindy made was a false 22 statement has no basis in fact whatsoever. 23 THE COURT: Whether it is or it isn't he can't 24 tell us. 25 MR. LEVINE: Judge, get to the stand up and tell Anthony D. Frisolone, CRR, CSR Official US District Court Reporter Long - Direct/Berke 6151 1 this man did you check out as he did whether the 2 relationship between Bin-Laden and Khashoggi because Mr. 3 Elgindy's theory of providing you with valuable 4 information I think it's fair reply to inquire. 5 MR. BREEN: What Mr. Elgindy knew about Mr. 6 Bin-Laden and we're happy to put that on.Message 21749012
