Apparently somebody claiming to be "From the future" turned $800 into $350 MILLION over two weeks playing the market.
He claims to be from the 2200s, and have knowledge of all kinds of things.
The part that really gets me is this...

Apparently somebody claiming to be "From the future" turned $800 into $350 MILLION over two weeks playing the market.
He claims to be from the 2200s, and have knowledge of all kinds of things.
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 made capitalized on unexpected business developments, which simply can't be pure luck.
The past year of nose-diving stock prices has left most investors crying in their beer. So when Carlssin made a flurry of 126 high-risk trades and came out the winner every time, it raised the eyebrows of Wall Street watchdogs.
"If a company's stock rose due to a merger or technological breakthrough that was supposed to be secret, Mr. Carlssin somehow knew about it in advance," says the SEC source close to the hush-hush, ongoing investigation.

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."
