Dear Folks,

This post has been the most difficult post I have ever had to prepare in my life. As many may know, I am in New York waiting to be sentenced so I can finally get the appellate process moving. Just recently, two of my lawyers came to see me to let me know that the prosecutor, Mr. Levine, (Former AUSA Breen is now a criminal defense lawyer) will be asking the Judge to sentence me to LIFE in prison. Not 5 years, not 10 years, not 15 years. He wants me to die in prison. If anyone ever had any doubt that this case was always more about who I was than anything I ever did, they need look no further. Other than myself, all the defendants in this case are white Anglo-Saxon, and every last one of them has been treated in a drastically different way than I have been treated. Every one of them is going to walk away relatively unscathed. The person who made the most money and had his own secret chatroom will do no more than 18 months while getting to keep almost every last penny he made. This is how it all breaks down.

Name Ass’t govt. “illegal gains” forfeiture request Money kept Punishment

Jonathan Daws“archer”/Gryphon NONE $5,583,248 $199,999 $5,383,249 18 months

S/A RoyerS/A Wingate NONE -$1,540. NOTHING He can keep his losses 0-8 years
Troy Peters NONE $325,000 NOTHING $325,000 Probation
Anthony Elgindy NONE $159,112 $11.8 million Cannot keep anything LIFE IN PRISON

As you can plainly see now, the Egyptian born Muslim Arab-American short seller was successfully dragged 3,000 miles to stand trial next to ground zero. Studying the above breakdown allows one to conclude that the prosecutors were never interested in justice. They don’t really want $11 million “illegal” dollars to be turned over to them. They only care to satiate their seething hatred with my life. If they really wanted that money, and more importantly if they REALLY BELIEVED it was derived “ILLEGALLY,” they would take it from the people who not only made it but get to keep it. They can’t and won’t do that because they know it’s never been about anyone else; it’s always just been about me.

When Cleveland was first arrested, he had a loaded handgun in his possession. Being a convicted cocaine trafficker with a gun is an extremely serious crime, a felony that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years, but Cleveland was never charged. Even Royer, who is arguably one of the stupidest FBI agents this government ever gave a gun and badge to, gets a pass on over 1500 uncharged felonies. Compare their treatment to mine. When I tried to use a fake ID to go home 2 days early last April, they managed to squeeze 5 state and federal felony counts out of the one incident.

Isn’t that really what all of this is? A lynching? Isn’t that why Daws and the rest get a few months in camp or probation, getting to keep the money while I am forced to forfeit their gains and then die in jail? Isn’t that really a modern day post 9-11 lynching of the nasty Arab guy?

I may have been born an Arab, but I grew up as an American. My parents, brother and I immigrated to this country when I was only 3 years old. I loved this country with all my soul; even when I did those four months in Taft, my feelings only grew stronger, grateful for a chance to make amends. Today I am sad to say I no longer recognize this country. This isn’t the America I learned about when I was growing up. There are so many things I no longer understand.

What I do know is that I am 37 years old. Sixteen years ago I married the daughter of a Baptist minister named Mary Faith. We were both very young, and I have not always been the best husband, but God willing I would like the next 16 years to be what the last 16 should have been.

Together, we have three beautiful boys, ages 14,11 and 8. My oldest son, Adam, has Tourettes Syndrome and ADD. My middle boy, Gabriel, is carrying the weight of this tragedy on his shoulders, being strong for all of us; far too heavy a burden for any child to bear. My youngest, Samy, is my baby. He grew up on my lap, behind Bloomberg monitors. Now he is in therapy because he hits himself in the head and says “he’s the stupidest kid in the world.” He thinks this is his fault. His birthday is on January 23, and unfortunately the verdict came out the next day. My beautiful baby boy Samy did nothing but wish that his Daddy would come home for his birthday. It tears me apart that I can’t hold him and comfort him. I want them to know that I am innocent. I want them to know they did nothing wrong. My 3 boys are more important to me than money, houses or cars. They are my life, and my world. I don’t care about the FBI, about scams, or even trading. I only care about Samy’s wish.

I want them, and everyone, to know that I am fighting as hard as I can and I will never stop until I am once again free to be with them again. Hatred, prejudice, and all the ugliness must lose in the end. It just has to.
