And when he looked into the past, he didn't see himself being caught? I've struggled with that problem too.

The sad thing is that the $350 million he made won't be enough to fill up the gas tank on his Time Craft 200 years in the future.

Also, did BatBoy help in the capture.

"The only way he could pull it off is with illegal inside information. He's going to sit in a jail cell on Rikers Island until he agrees to give up his sources."

So, without a shred of evidence, this guy goes to jail? Meanwhile, Martha Stewart is free; despite volumes of evidence that she intentionally defrauded her stockholders.

I have no problem with search, wiretapping and detective work being done on 'Probable Cause', but I do have problem with lazy police, arresting a person "until he confesses".

DUH!

He came from the future with the 800 dollars he bought from collectors in his time!

I can't think of where he would have gotten the idea from. ;)

"But the fact is, with an initial investment of only $800, in two weeks' time he had a portfolio valued at over $350 million

I guess this is how Hillary made her $100,000 in cattle "futures"

A common inside joke told by time travelers.

If he's from the future, then he must have known that he was going to get caught. If he didn't, then he has already changed history which will alter his "future". So he has nothing to go back to, so we might as well throw him in the slammer for life, because it won't matter. He will be born in two hundred years from now and history will prove that he is wasting his time going into the past. And even if he gets away with his 350 Mil it won't be worth squat by the time he gets back because of inflation...So this guy is hosed no matter what happens to him. OK beam me up Scotty, there is no intellegent life here.

Carlssin declared that he had traveled back in time from over 200 years in the future, when it is common knowledge that our era experienced one of the worst stock plunges in history. Yet anyone armed with knowledge of the handful of stocks destined to go through the roof could make a fortune. >>

Umm, you would think this brain from the future would have thought it a safer bet to come back when the market was roaring and he could have made that kind of money unnoticed.

Federal investigators have arrested an enigmatic Wall Street wiz on insider-trading charges…

I’d like to know how they intend to prosecute. I thought they had to establish some sort of relationship between the person and the insiders to prosecute something like that.

Like with IM Clone (however it’s spelled). They have established relationships between Martha Stewart and all the various players through admissions, phone calls, etc. Yet they still seem to be dragging it out.

There has to be more to this.

He should have just deposited the $800 in a tax-free money market account and flown back to the future, let compounded interest do his work for him. Over 250 years he would have accumulated a nice piece of change.
