아래 야후 뉴스기사에 의하면, 800달러로 주식거래를 시작한 어떤 사람이 3억 5천만 달러를
벌어들였는데, 불법 내부거래로 인해 체포되었다고 합니다. 그런데...
이 사람이 취조를 받을 때 주장한 바에 의하면, 자신이 2256년의 미래로부터 시간여행을
해왔으며, 자신이 원하는 바는 다시 시간여행장치로 되돌아 가게 허락받는 것이라 했답니다.
어떻게 특정 기업의 비밀 정보에 대해 어떻게 미리 알 수 있었냐는 질문에 이 사람은,
'지금의 시대가 가장 최악의 증시상황을 맞이한 시대이지만, 조금만 주식 정보를 알고
있으면 최고의 부를 벌어들이 수도 있기에 그 유혹을 뿌리칠 수 없었다'고 고백했다고 합니다.
경찰 심문에서 그 시간여행장치가 있는 곳에 대해 질문을 받자, 그것이 악용될까 우려하면서
침묵했다고 합니다. 관계자들은 이 사람이 사기를 치고 있다고 믿지만,
이 사람의 신분에 대해서는 작년 12월 이래로 전혀 찾을 수 없다는 점을 인정했다고 합니다.

'TIME-TRAVELER' BUSTED FOR INSIDER TRADING
Wednesday March 19, 2003
By CHAD KULTGEN
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."
The past year of nose-diving stock prices has left most investors crying in their beer. So when Carlssin made a flurry of 126 high-risk trades and came out the winner every time, it raised the eyebrows of Wall Street watchdogs.
"If a company's stock rose due to a merger or technological breakthrough that was supposed to be secret, Mr. Carlssin somehow knew about it in advance," says the SEC source close to the hush-hush, ongoing investigation.
When investigators hauled Carlssin in for questioning, they got more than they bargained for: A mind-boggling four-hour confession.
Carlssin declared that he had traveled back in time from over 200 years in the future, when it is common knowledge that our era experienced one of the worst stock plunges in history. Yet anyone armed with knowledge of the handful of stocks destined to go through the roof could make a fortune.
"It was just too tempting to resist," Carlssin allegedly said in his videotaped confession. "I had planned to make it look natural, you know, lose a little here and there so it doesn't look too perfect. But I just got caught in the moment."
In a bid for leniency, Carlssin has reportedly offered to divulge "historical facts" such as the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden and a cure for AIDS.
All he wants is to be allowed to return to the future in his "time craft."
However, he refuses to reveal the location of the machine or discuss how it works, supposedly out of fear the technology could "fall into the wrong hands."
Officials are quite confident the "time-traveler's" claims are bogus. Yet the SEC source admits, "No one can find any record of any Andrew Carlssin existing anywhere before December 2002."
Weekly World News will continue to follow this story as it unfolds. Keep watching for further developments.
