NEW YORK — Federal investigators have arrested an enigmatic Wall Street wiz on insider-trading- R3 I( t3 `* ]( ^& g/ C- H# g
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 Carlssin
