"Time-Traveler" Busted For Insider Trading

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday April 17, 2003 @06:49AM from the making-the-rounds dept.

Chester sent in a story that has been making the rounds for a bit, but if you haven't bumped into it, "Yahoo! TV came up with this weird story about a guy who caught police's attention by gaining $350 million from mere $800 in two weeks. The twisted part is that he justifies his knowledge about stocks by saying he is a time-traveler from year 2256!"

Journalistic credibility issues asside, Im so damn embarrassed that I believed the "Saddam in gay porno" story that I cant bring myself to use anything Yahoo related.
