They should ask him how they cured HTN. He'd be maybe from the right time frame.

NEW YORK -- Federal investigators have arrested an enigmatic Wall Street wizon insider-trading charges -- and incredibly, he claims to be atime-traveler from the year 2256!Sources at the Security and Exchange Commission confirm that 44-year-old Carlssin offered the bizarre explanation for his uncanny success inthe stock market after being led off in handcuffs on January 28."We don't believe this guy's story -- he's either a lunatic or apathological liar," says an SEC insider."But the fact is, with an initial investment of only $800, in two weeks'time he had a portfolio valued at over $350 million. Every trade he madecapitalized on unexpected business developments, which simply can't be pureluck. The only way he could pull it off is with illegal inside information. He'sgoing to sit in a jail cell on Rikers Island until he agrees to give up hissources." The past year of nose-diving stock prices has left most investors crying intheir beer. So when Carlssin made a flurry of 126 high-risk trades and cameout the winner every time, it raised the eyebrows of Wall Street watchdogs."If a company's stock rose due to a merger or technological breakthroughthat was supposed to be secret, Mr. Carlssin somehow knew about it inadvance," says the SEC source close to the hush-hush, ongoing investigation.When investigators hauled Carlssin in for questioning, they got more thanthey bargained for: A mind-boggling four-hour confession.Carlssin declared that he had traveled back in time from over 200 years inthe future, when it is common knowledge that our era experienced one of theworst stock plunges in history. Yet anyone armed with knowledge of thehandful of stocks destined to go through the roof could make a fortune."It was just too tempting to resist," Carlssin allegedly said in hisvideotaped confession. "I had planned to make it look natural, you know,lose a little here and there so it doesn't look too perfect. But I just gotcaught in the moment."In a bid for leniency, Carlssin has reportedly offered to divulge"historical facts" such as the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden and a cure forAIDS. 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 itworks, supposedly out of fear the technology could "fall into the wronghands." Officials are quite confident the "time-traveler's" claims are bogus. Yetthe SEC source admits, "No one can find any record of any Carlssinexisting anywhere before December 2002."Weekly World News will continue to follow this story as it unfolds. Keepwatching for further developments.
