“`Insider trading' by terrorists is suspected in Europe”


BRUSSELS -- The president of Germany's central bank


said Saturday there was mounting evidence that people


connected to the attacks in New York and Washington


sought to profit from the tragedy by engaging in ``terrorism


insider trading'' on European stock and commodity markets.


In an article by Mike Ruppert, it was mentioned that Buzz


Krongard, CIA Executive Director is tied to Dd Deutsch Bank


which has ties to former counsel to CIA director George Tenet.


Here’s one quote from the article:


“…The source familiar with the United trades identified


Deutsche Bank Alex. Brown, the American investment


banking arm of German giant Deutsche Bank, as the


investment bank used to purchase at least some of


hese options…” This was the operation managed by


Krongard until as recently as 1998.


As reported in other news stories, Deutsche Bank


was also the hub of insider trading activity connected


to Munich Re. just before the attacks.”

Trading Probe More Bad News for Cruise Lines page A1


Miami Daily Business Review (also known as South Florida Business Review)


By Anika Myers





“Cruise Lines Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) and Royal


Caribbean Cruise lines (NYSE: RCL) received some


unwanted publicity last week after the US Securities


and Exchange Commission Announced an Investigation


of suspicious trading in 2 Miami based companies.


The regulators are seeking any connection between


terrorist groups and short selling of the cruise lines’


shares, along with the shares of 36 other companies,


immediately before and after the terrorist attacks.


The SEC hasn’t contacted representatives of either


cruise line about the progress of the investigation,


according to representatives from both cruise lines.


Both lines declined to comment on the investigation.


The probe follows a spate of bad news for both firms.


Since s11, Royal Caribbean and Carnival have


announced price discounts to spur reservations.


Fluctuating stock prices and investment firms’


bearish-ness about their debt ratings has battered both firms.


RCL last week announced imminent layoffs of up to


100 local employees and that it may delay the construction of new ships.


For it’s part, the SEC—which declined to comment


on investigation—on O3 actually announced plans


to ease restrictions on shorting well-known stocks.


The cruise lines hope to assuage potential customers


ears about safety by heightening internal security.


Mike Crye, the president of the International Council


of Cruise Lines, in testimony before the US Senate,


explained that passenger baggage and cargo are


ow screened closely and that cruise ships are


working w/ the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization


Service to insure no fugitives board.


ICCL spokesman Molly Mc Pherson declined to


comment on any external or protective measures


that cruise ships might take.


Before the attacks, on Sept. 10, CNL shares were


trading at $28.52. When trading resumed on Sept. 17,


the shares fell to $19.43. At midday, Tues., they traded


at $21.31. They traded at $12.76 on Sept. 17. At midday


Tues. they traded at about $10, about the same


as Monday’s closing price.”

The problem with this article is that Associated Press

I can't list it's exact location cuz AP is charging $2.50 to

it lists more of the companies listed in the SEC's list of companies

General Motors, Raytheon, Morgan Stanley (resident of WTC),


Lehman Brothers, Bank of America, the financial firm Marsh &


McLennan. It mentions the SEC's was posted the Monday


preceding October 3 at the Web site for the Investment Dealers


Association of Canada. Other companies on the list are the parent


companies of major Airlines American, Continental, Delta,


Northwest, Southwest United and USAirways as well as


cruise lines Carnival and Royal Carribean, aircraft maker


Boeing and defense contractor Lockheed Martin.


The article also sez that several insurance companies


are listed. These are: "American International Group,


AXA, Chubb, Cigna, CNA financial, John Hancock

The article also sez, "Germany's stock market


regulator has said it was looking into the possibility

Here are some additional articles I lifted of this Indymedia post, (http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=86153 )

Last week, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman


Harvey Pitt said the SEC was examining all unusual trading


activity of stocks most severely affected by the Sept. 11


attacks. The SEC is investigating whether people


associated with the terrorists might have tried to profit

that would have paid big profits when airlines and other stocks


plunged.

the attacks, essentially betting on a coming decline in their value.


- Washington Post, October 2, 2001


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A59537-2001Oct2.html








The Wall Street Journal reported on October 2 that the


ongoing investigation by the SEC into suspicious stock


trades had been joined by a Secret Service probe into


an unusually high volume of five-year US Treasury


note purchases prior to the attacks. The Treasury note


transactions included…A SINGLE $5 BILLION TRADE.

"To date, there are no flags or indicators" showing that


terrorists used trading strategies known as "short selling"


to profit from the attacks, Dennis Lormel, chief of


the Federal Bureau of Investigation's financial crimes unit,


told a congressional committee on Oct. 3. Some experts


now say they doubt that such a scheme took place.


What appears to be suspicious activity in some stocks


may turn out to have been legitimate trading, they say.

The Wall Street Journal reported on October 2 that the


ongoing investigation by the SEC into suspicious stock


trades had been joined by a Secret Service probe into


an unusually high volume of five-year US Treasury


note purchases prior to the attacks. The Treasury note


transactions included…A SINGLE $5 BILLION TRADE.

"To date, there are no flags or indicators" showing that


terrorists used trading strategies known as "short selling"


to profit from the attacks, Dennis Lormel, chief of


the Federal Bureau of Investigation's financial crimes unit,


told a congressional committee on Oct. 3. Some experts


now say they doubt that such a scheme took place.


What appears to be suspicious activity in some stocks


may turn out to have been legitimate trading, they say.
