did anyone hear about the guy...

Post by tasha »

who won something like 35 million in the stock market over 3 weeks with 800 dollars? he got arrested for inside information or something...

he claimed to be a time traveller from the future (year 2024 or 2064 or something), and that's how he knew how to make so much money. the 'authorities' immediately considered it a fraud.

the weird thing?
there are no records of the guy existing before December of 2002.

i heard this on the radio a few days ago.. havent heard anything since

did anyone else hear about it?

maybe he knows something that we don't about the near future

This "news" was reported in World Weekly News... the same people that brought us bat boy, and that alien that met every president since Carter. There's no record of this guy because the story was made up.

... honestly.. turning $800 into $350 million in 2 weeks.. I don't think even a guy from the future could pull that off.... especially with the current state of the Stock Market.
