Flux Capacitor

[Ricochet]

A little old, but I thought this was kinda funny..


The FBI have arrested enigmatic Wall Street wiz, Andrew Carlssin on insider-trading charges. Incredibly, he claims to be a time-traveler from the year 2256.

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.

In a bid for leniency, Andrew 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."

It did, but it's a few months old.
