New Analysis Summary Of 9-11-01 Insider Trading [with some very interesting facts, if true]!

[Peter Lemkin]

If I remember correctly, I was asked to review this book by the author (who's name isn't mentioned I see?), but having read part of it, I politely declined.

For one thing I had previously investigated the whole Durham story and found it preposterous.

But there are intriguing aspects too. There is no doubt that those puts were made prior to 911 and this clearly suggests pre-knowledge of the event.

There is also an old story that I investigated years ago, but didn't write about because I couldn't completely stand it up, that concerns an old Nixon era Treasury CUSIP that was sold primarily to underworld figures - via a foreign central bank connected institution - and which was apparently aimed at repatriating enormous amounts of cash wedge that was generated offshore from around the world from said illicit activities.


The CUSIP, which was publicly issued and acknowledged had, according to the legend, several covert issues concealed behind the public issuance. Which, if true, is quite an ingenuous way of repatriating illegal funds and at the same time having a built in deniability. It was this intriguing possibility that drew my interest to the story. But as I said, I couldn't stand the whole thing up.


Anyway, according to the legend, a very large volume of these covert securities were deposited at BONY for safekeeping by a representative of a well known mafia figure, and after his death, BONY denied ever having had possession them. I certainly have copy correspondence to and from BONY by an attorney that discusses this, and it struck me that BONY were quite smug in their replies. But that might just be my prejudice, of course.


So, I can see the possibility of these large differences in BONY's balance sheet could've have come about. This is not to say it happened however.

There were a few things mentioned in that piece that made me wonder as to their veracity and few to none came with references. Others have done similar analyses on financial transactions that seemed to have been based on insider knowledge of what was about to happen on 9-11. While they may or may not have been involved with what happened, it certainly would be INTERESTING to know where they got the 'insider' information from!
