And they are fools for speculating this. Here is another unnamed source with a contrary view. "Some cite an alleged occurance of a $2.5 million gain that hadn't been claimed as of September 29, 2001. And that the owner of account is unknown. While, this may indicate some inside knowldge of 9/11, by itself, its a weak case. Setting up (all or most) brokerage account in the US requires a named account, with much identifying information, including addresss, ss # etc. I assume the securities firm are required to do some cross checks to verify the information -- perhaps readers can confirm this. And deposits need to come from named accounts -- the same name as the account holder. So it appears implausible that investigators cannot trace the owner of the account. Further, most investors and traders don't close their accounts after each trade. They usually keep the same account(s) open for many years, and often don't withdraw the proceeds of their investments for decades. So the non-withdrawl of profits in this case is the same for millions of other brokerage accounts." http://911-stock-anomolies.blogspot.com/ Sometimes one has to use real world experience and rational thinking and weed out unsubstantiated news reports and not take every newspaper article as the gospel.
