A British hedge fund manager has revealed how, in the 15 minutes after the first plane hit the World Trade Center on 9/11, he was able to short sell key shares, thereby making a financial profit from the tragedy that was unfolding.

In part two of the BBC documentary series The City Uncovered with Evan Davis, which was broadcast on Wednesday 21st January, David Yarrow, the managing director of Clareville Capital, described how he made significant profits following the September 11 attacks, as well as the 2004 Madrid train bombings and the July 7, 2005 London bombings.* Presenter Evan Davis began the segment: "On 9/11, David Yarrow was watching television in a hotel room in America. In the minutes after the first plane hit the World Trade Center, his trading instincts kicked in. Seeing the market was about to plummet, he shorted key vulnerable shares, like airlines." (Short selling is a technique used by investors who try to profit from the falling price of a share. It involves selling shares you don't already own, but instead only borrow, with the intent of purchasing them at a later date at a hopefully lower price, thereby netting a profit.)

“Best trading day in the history of Société Générale was September 11, 2001″

According to an article in The London Times today, Société Générale rogue trader Jérôme Kerviel profited enormously on the day of the 7/7 London bombings. He has also revealed how his company made huge profits on September 11th 2001, prompting some to return to questions over insider foreknowledge of both terrorist attacks.

The article states:

“The best trading day in the history of Société Générale was September 11, 2001,” he said. “At least, that’s what one of my managers told me. It seems that profits were colossal that day.

“I had a similar experience during the London attacks in July 2005.”

They Made a Killing
Did people who knew about secret, CIA-led coups use that information to game the stock market?

By Ray Fisman - Oct. 28, 2008

... [Following the CIA-led coup in Guatemala in 1954] ... With a U.S. puppet back in the president's mansion, UFC's profits were safe. But it appears the company wasn't the only beneficiary of this Cold War cloak-and-dagger diplomacy: A recent study by economists Arindrajit Dube, Ethan Kaplan, and Suresh Naidu argues that those in on the planning process also profited handsomely. By tracking the stock prices of UFC and other politically vulnerable firms in the months leading up to CIA-staged coups in Guatemala, Chile, Cuba, and Iran, the researchers provide evidence that someone—perhaps one of the Dulleses, Cabots, or others in the know—was trading stocks based on classified information of these coups-in-the-making.

German Firm Probes Final World Trade Center Deals

Monday, December 17, 2001

PIRMASENS, Germany — German computer experts are working round the clock to unlock the truth behind an unexplained surge in financial transactions made just before two hijacked planes crashed into New York's World Trade Center Sept. 11.

Were criminals responsible for the sharp rise in credit card transactions that moved through some computer systems at the WTC shortly before the planes hit the twin towers?

Or was it coincidence that unusually large sums of money, perhaps more than $100 million, were rushed through the computers as the disaster unfolded?

A world leader in retrieving data, German-based firm Convar is trying to answer those questions and help credit card companies, telecommunications firms and accountants in New York recover their records from computer hard drives that have been partially damaged by fire, water or fine dust.

An Important Reminder

Posted by mradwin in June 15th, 2008

Posted in: Uncategorized

I often find that if I don't remind myself of the facts, I tend to lose solid belief in the truth. I know that the facts are there, but the things they stand for become far-fetched in my mind. The government attacking the World Trade Center? Attacking the most decorated US naval ship in history? Funding both side of every war? A secret society taking over the world? None of it could be true...But it is. So, here is the top eleven reasons 9/11 was an inside job. Just so all of you can be reminded. Brought to you by www.911truth.org

Kucinich to Investigate 9/11 Insider Trading

Anyone who has read Michael Ruppert's book, Crossing The Rubicon, or website http://www.fromthewilderness.com will likely remember the name Buzzy Krongard in the context of insider trading. From FTW: http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/10_09_01_krongard.html

Two Brothers and Two Scandals
by Dave Lindorff | Nov 15 2007 - 1:43pm |

...

The State Department's top internal investigator, Inspector General Howard Krongard, revealed in a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing Tuesday, that his brother, Alvin B. Krongard, was a member of the advisory board of Blackwater, the very private mercenary company whose bloody, murderous behavior the IG office was supposed to be investigating.

Unmentioned in reports on this tainted relationship was the fact that Alvin Krongard, the former third-ranking leader of the CIA from 2001-2004, has also been the subject of some speculation regarding possible foreknowledge of the 9-11 attacks by some within the intelligence establishment.

I haven't ever had a chance to watch the Zembla documentary on 9/11 in its entirety, but have instead just focused on Jowenko's testimony. Today I found the following excerpt at youtube; it covers US foreknowlege and insider trading.

You've probably heard that the new 007 movie contains a reference to the shady airline put options. Figuring that lots of people would be going out to see the movie today (Thanksgiving), I threw together a flyer highlighting the put options story and headed over to the movie theatre. The movie does indeed contain a very blatant mention of the trades, and the entire plot line revolves around shady banker-spook-types manufacturing terrorist events for profit. I don't know if the movie makers were doing this to get the truth out, or to muddy the waters, but when the credits rolled I was there passing out flyers as everyone left, and I would encourage others to do the same this weekend when the crowds will be at their height. The flyer I handed out is printed below. I threw it together in like 15 minutes, so it might have so typos, but feel free to use it or to create your own.

Back:
What's that they said? People made millions of dollars off of insider trader right before 9/11? That's right folks- by short-selling options on American and United Airlines in the days and weeks before the attacks, certain unnamed parties cashed in big time. Those were the airlines involved in the attacks, in case you missed it, and no similar trading was done on any other airlines.

German Experts Press For Truth
Of Pre-911 Stock Activity

PIRMASENS, Germany (Reuters) - German computer experts are working round the clock to unlock the truth behind an unexplained surge in financial transactions made just before two hijacked planes crashed into New York's World Trade Center on September 11.

Were criminals responsible for the sharp rise in credit card transactions that moved through some computer systems at the WTC shortly before the planes hit the twin towers?

Or was it coincidence that unusually large sums of money, perhaps more than $100 million, were rushed through the computers as the disaster unfolded? A world leader in retrieving data, German-based firm Convar is trying to answer those questions and help credit card companies, telecommunications firms and accountants in New York recover their records from computer hard drives that have been partially damaged by fire, water or fine dust. Using a pioneering laser scanning technology to find data on damaged computer hard drives and main frames found in the rubble of the World Trade Center and other nearby collapsed buildings, Convar has recovered information from 32 computers that support assumptions of dirty doomsday dealings.

Among the welter of 9-11 anomalies still begging for a plausible explanation, one stands out as a convincing entree for those who dismiss "conspiracy theory," and as a compelling lead for a new investigation: The $2.5 million reward for "put option" stock trading that remains unclaimed to this day (below, I apply Occam's infamous razor to solve this stubborn mystery).

The unusual stock betting that preceded 9-11 is well-known (for those unfamiliar, the details are cited at end of this article).

“The uncollected money raises suspicions that the investors – whose identities and nationalities have not been made public – had advance knowledge of the strikes...They don’t dare show up now. The suspension of trading for four days after the attacks made it impossible to cash-out quickly and claim the prize before investigators started looking."

Wall Street analysts tell us that peaks of put/call options are not that uncommon--there have been episodes in the past. True, but it is the significant disproportion between put and call options that is supposed to arouse the suspicion of Wall Street police--the SEC, FBI and CIA, which tracks such suspicious trading in real-time as a signal of possible insider trading or other criminal activity. Moreover, securities analysts in other countries have stated that these agencies have the capacity to identify the culprits--there is no unbreachable firewall here.

The following is a collection of articles regarding insider trading immediately prior to the September 11th attacks.
