‘TIME-TRAVELER’ BUSTED FOR INSIDER TRADING7 u* y/ g& y4 L/ ?% p, _& V

' ]- [5 p: F. @5 X, ]) B7 O! _& XNEW YORK — Federal investigators have arrested an enigmatic Wall Street wiz on insider-trading5 g0 `6 j% u7 r. K( B1 Q" i
charges — and incredibly, he claims to be a time-traveler from the year 2256!

The past year of nose-diving stock prices has left most investors crying in their beer. So when Carlssin8 ^( W4 E7 M( {, ^8 O( B5 E1 K
made a flurry of 126 high-risk trades and came out the winner every time, it raised the eyebrows of Wall* s4 g( m- Y8 }* J& O" c/ z

”If a company’s stock rose due to a merger or technological breakthrough that was supposed to be secret,2 L2 m! R) i5 P+ f2 r6 i

When investigators hauled Carlssin in for questioning, they got more than they bargained for: A mindboggling

Carlssin declared that he had traveled back in time from over 200 years in the future, when it is common

In a bid for leniency, Carlssin has reportedly offered to divulge “historical facts” such as the whereabouts of

However, he refuses to reveal the location of the machine or discuss how it works, supposedly out of fear
