    OMG!

    That story totally rocks. I had to check if it was the Onion in the url.

    "The only way he could pull it off is with illegal inside information. He's going to sit in a jail cell on Rikers Island until he agrees to give up his sources."

    Fascists! Innocent until proven guilty, unless you're in the stock market!?!

    Ejsmith, that´s the way it is in the USA. Anyway, I believe only when he comes up with some real info, like with a cure to the mentioned disease; but one must admit that the fellow is quite creative with his explanations -or desperate.

    [Below] Now you spoiled it...

    One can't get that many money or have no records if he doesn't have some kinda connection to something big. I actually, too, believe that he's from the future.

    It doesn't matter, because no one would believe him unless he showed them their time machine.

    I say we get Stephen Hawking to carefully watch him, and also convince this time-traveler to kill his grandfather. :p
