Re: Time Traveler busted for insider trading
Seen it before, but:
'However, he refuses to reveal the location of the machine or discuss how it works, supposedly out of fear the technology could "fall into the wrong hands."'
This still made me smile.
Right - so a bent investor who's used timetravel for personal financial gain and illegal trading thinks the tech could get into the wrong hands.
Oh ok then, excuse me while I fetch my tinfoil hat and hide in the cellar from aliens (or JammyJim)

i have between £400 and £500 a month to spend

But I'm guessing you dont...

Re: Time Traveler busted for insider trading
i know that guy is gonna die in prison.
otherwise he'd have traveled back in time to prevent himself from being caught and we wouldn't know about it.

I could have sworn I saw this on Monty Python or Saturday Night Live. Most likely a Monty script.

Re: Time Traveler busted for insider trading
ha the :
Officials are quite confident the "time-traveler's" claims are bogus. Yet the SEC source admits, "No one can find any record of any Andrew Carlssin existing anywhere before December 2002."
bit is fantastic
