Very spooky. I've never been convinced by the theories of time travel, but that certainly makes you wonder.

But $800 to $350 million in 2 weeks? Not a bad return rate

Fake name, fake id, probably laundering money for the mob or something.

Insider trading (initial investment of $800?? Yeah right, like Wall Street or any banker would pay attention to him...)

Psychopath

If he really were a time traveller, wouldn't it SUCK to travel back to a time where two weeks later you know you'll end up in jail?? Did he think about THAT?

I think the reporter was on strange drugs when he wrote the story. 800 into 350 million? With only 126 trades? He multiplied his investment by 43,750 times its original value? What stocks did he buy? From my rough estimates, he would have had to turn a progressive turnover of 375% on each investment. Guess what - didn't happen.

um... you see it's from the Weekly World News, right?

Let's look at some other Weekly World News headlines:

AMERICA'S RUNNING OUT OF SUPERMODELS
DUMB WAYS PEOPLE HAVE DIED
HITLER HAD A SECRET SON
AMERICA SHOULD BE A BAD-ASS COWBOY
HOW YOU CAN OWN A PIECE OF IRAQI LAND

Others:
2nd GREAT DEPRESSION CAN MAKE YOU RICH!
IS EMINEM THE ANTICHRIST?
WORLD EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH OSAMA BIN LADEN!
SCIENTISTS CONFIRM ... THE STATUE OF LIBERTY IS CRYING (AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE SHE FOUND OUT SHE'S FRENCH)



Sometimes I think they put real info in there as a joke...

I was wondering how long it'd take all these Rocket Scientists to figure that out...it says "Weekly World News" right at the bottom of the story, and all over the top of the page.

i once bought a issue of weekly world news, just for the sheer fun of it.

there was an ad in the back for a book that tells you the secrets of time travel, for only $19.95.
