NEW YORK -- Federal investigators have arrested an enigmatic Wall Street wiz on insider-trading charges -- and incredibly, he claims to be a time-traveler from the year 2256!
Sources at the Security and Exchange Commission confirm that 44-year-old Andrew Carlssin offered the bizarre explanation for his uncanny success in the stock market after being led off in handcuffs on January 28.
"We don't believe this guy's story -- he's either a lunatic or a pathological liar," says an SEC insider.
"But the fact is, with an initial investment of only $800, in two weeks' time he had a portfolio valued at over $350 million. Every trade he made capitalized on unexpected business developments, which simply can't be pure luck.
"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."

i believe that there might be a chance this isn't a practical joke or an urban legend. If this guyreally is in a jail cell somewhere then the authorities holding himare crazy to not at least try out some of the things he is saying. like the cure for AIDS? COME ON! its not like we have progressed alotso what wouldbe the harm? All i know is if this guy really exists and it comes out on the media you will find me in the throngs of believers asking him some of our histories mysteries questions.
The reason it's spreading like wildfire is that it was broadcast on Coast to Coast AM That month.

The Reason why its spreading so fast, because we are all wishing it could have been me! Well, live your life and stop dreaming, where were they when he turned $800 to £1m because even reaching $10m then $350m. FUCK the scam and leave him alone. If he is too lucky, don't sell stocks to him no more. No one wants to loose. If he had lost his $800 first time round, no one will be caughing right now!!!!From the FUTURE or NOT I don't care. Because you only know the future when you reach there. So come on tell me today is not the future...ha ha ha.
