charges — and incredibly, he claims to be a time-traveler from the year 2256!
2 r% {' S. K1 E& R! T( hSources at the Security and Exchange Commission confirm that 44-year-old Andrew Carlssin offered the, o3 `1 [7 N' U& l4 j

”We don’t believe this guy’s story — he’s either a lunatic or a pathological liar,” says an SEC insider.0 A& t& e' s- S. o }* j0 i' u+ u
”But the fact is, with an initial investment of only $800, in two weeks’ time he had a portfolio valued at over

The past year of nose-diving stock prices has left most investors crying in their beer. So when Carlssin

”It was just too tempting to resist,” Carlssin allegedly said in his videotaped confession. “I had planned to z' a6 Q# f6 S
