Copycat thread from another forum...

I have to say, some of his stories are entertaining. And I mean this in the purest meaning of entertaining. Personally I think this dude might have watched too many Babylon 5s. But anyway, interesting read, just keep your sense-of-rationality-hat on the table for a moment so you can enjoy this story.

THe other forum laughed at the pictures this dude provided and they are crappy. But, read the story, it should give you an interesting read, if not, then at least few laughs.

Oh yeah, forgot to say what this was about.. the MAN from the FUTURE!

[Pekka]

Since no one is answering or reading, I'll answer myself. It is clear, that this person is very smart. Or he has few other buddies working this thing up. I mean had working this thing..

.. I think the BEST move, was that he actually 'left', meaning he never regained the name to continue his stories... but actually left it like that.

One thing I find was a stupid move was because he gave exact dates to big things that will happen, things he wouldn't forget if he was from the future.. Like, Last Olympics will be held in 2004.... wait that's a good one, well anyway, that the civil war in US will break out... 2004? That's pretty soon! So, his stories will be caught too soon. I wish he'd been more secretive about that too, because now he'll be caught too soon.. but then again this was written in 2000-2001 so maybe he didn't think it was too soon.
Too bad, good story though.

sorry

Well I can't create more threads today, so let's turn this thread into discussion about the guy who had $800 investing money and made it into $350 million dollars in short time and claimed to be from the future.. 126 invests, all hitting jackpot. No mistakes.

They apprehended him from illegal insider trading, but as far as I know, no news has been since reported.

The man wanted to get back to his time machine, but they wanted to keep him locked up until he reveals his sources. They admmited, that there is no information about his existence before they got him.

So, any news on this guy?

[mrmitchell]

IIRC that's from the Weekly World News (a paragon of accuracy, or, actually, a good source for humor stories such as 'Saddam and Osama Are Gay Partners' etc.)

Don't you really think an insider trading guy going from $800 to $350M and claiming to be from the future would get more attention if it was real?

[Pekka]

Well I'm sorry.
