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.

Thanks to Purple Stuart for this

i sooooooooo wish it were true . but i am going to put my money on no. you know, that would solve like 99.9% of the worlds problems. and it would be really fun. to go back and see the birth of christ, the dinosaurs, when pudge fisk hit his out of the park home run...... wow. it would be great!

CASTOR

that's one hell of a wild tale. you have to give the man credit, he's original.

...and busted!

Two great articles Celti. This one and the magnetic pole shift. Thank you.

yes, good find! Very interesting....reminds me of my days working in the mental ward of the hospital.

Woah !! You can guarentee If the guy where a Time traveller , the government wouldn't be letting him go home .

If the guy really was from the future, then wouldn't he already know he would get caught? And if so, why did he do the same darn thing that got himself caught before? Or why even go back at all if he knew he would get caught? But if he never went back, then he would never have been caught, and so he would think he pulled it off in the past and may be free and clear sometime in his own future. Then he would go on back and get caught anyways, giving his next future self the idea not to go back and try it...



Didn't someone start a thread along this reasoning earlier?

its a great story , but if he does give deal claims of other stuff like cure for aids or the where abouts of Bin ladin, then maybe there mite be a chance.

You will never be able to go back to see the dinosaurs.

Unless a natural time portal that occured in nature was found then the only other way to go back is by using a man-made machine. Hence you would have to go back to another machine.

So if we invented a machine to go back in time, it would have to be one you could take with you (ie the car in Back to the Futue) or to a time when there is another machine to appear in.

Therefore it is popular belief that if we could time travel back in time it would only be to the time when the time travelling machine was first invented and working.

Now hang on a minute Paul ... are you trying to tell us that If you went back in time in a machine you could only go back to a time where machines existed or our transport would just vanish into thin air.. Rot ..That would mean that it would be impossible for a person to travel back to a time before they ever existed . What would happen would we slowly degenerate back to a fetal state .

Castor dont give up on your dreams

I saw the same article in a tabloid called World Weekly News

Oh well that explains it then. FAKE.

I have watched documentaries where theorists have considered time-travel. Some
have considered the bending of space and time; however, it would require technology that we haven't yet mastered.

Also, some theorize that time and space aren't linear and that there are several dimensions and portals.

My theory is (1) He has gone to great lengths to change his name and details for committing the crime (2) He is what he says.

Personally, it would be hard to change your fingerprints; so if he is a fraud using an alias-they can use dna and fingerprints to find out more about him, or find his family.

I agree; if he is the real thing-he is not going free. Then again, if he is a fraud-he is not going free for now.

Wasn't Marty Mcfly a character in the Back to the Future movies?
