Wall Street Wizard Claims He's From Future

and made allegedly 350million-$ in 2 weeks!!!!!
I don't know if this story has ever been discussed here on the Forum
But this story is very odd, just read it and give me your opinion.
Does anyone know more about this guy and how the story further evolved.
BTW, its not that new, its from Wednesday March 19, 2003



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.

...

"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.

I remember reading about this back when it was new news. I knew there was something I was trying to remember. Well. If you read to the bottom of the article you will discover it came from the Weekly World News. Which, I believe, its a tabloid. So its probably not true at all...

Status: False.

Snopes.



Fun reading though.

One need only look at the last sentence of the story to confirm that the story is bogus.


Weekly World News will continue to follow this story as it unfolds. Keep watching for further developments.

Sounds different but surely they only need to look for his birth records or any other records and that should be problem solved, he either is or he isn't.
Edited coz there wasn't enough
