Copvcia really publicized the put options story mentioned above but made much of the "Buzzy" Krongard connection, which I think is very weak. Threads and posts regarding this got yanked, it wasn't until the U.K. Independent regurgitated the story in a slightly milder form that it survived in a F.R. thread: CIA-Connected Brokerage Handled Terror Trades
Anyway to me the really interesting question about that particular issue is, what on earth happened to the put option money trail? Was there ever a follow up or are we just supposed to forget about it?
This one was posted and answered a lot of questions, and raised a lot of questions, before the copvscia article --- Put Options
