Went to Ad Astra to check on Sr K. Was reminded of this guy: Anthony@Pacific Surprise, surprise. Government Gangsters Message 17551632 Today, though, it is Elgindy who is the target of corruption allegations. Arrested May 22 at his Encinitas office and now being held without bail in San Diego's Metropolitan Correctional Center, he faces extradition to New York, accused of stealing secrets from federal criminal databases with help from FBI agents and then using the information to reap profits in the stock market. Elgindy, 34, who contends he's the victim of double-dealing associates and vindictive regulators, is described by neighbors and business associates as a man of outsized charm, with an arrogant streak and a craving for attention. During a controversial career in the securities business, Elgindy has been an FBI informant, the defendant in a securities arbitration claim filed by his own mother--and now a defendant in a stock-manipulation case drawing national attention. According to an indictment handed up by a New York grand jury, Elgindy and his associates, including one former and one current FBI agent, used confidential material from FBI files to shake down companies under federal scrutiny or to profit by betting their stock prices would fall. He is charged with racketeering, fraud, extortion and obstruction of justice.
