Heartache: Senior Al-Qaeda Operative Lost Almost $20 Million Trading Futures Market In Chicago…
Score one for the infidel capitalist pigs.
(Chicago Tribune) — A key al-Qaida member who had access to Osama bin Laden and allegedly financed terrorism invested millions of dollars with a Chicago futures brokerage firm — and now the U.S. government wants to take control of the remaining cash.
Abu al Tayyeb, who had allegedly considered a biological attack and other terror plots against U.S. citizens, wired $35 million to an associate, of which $26.7 million was deposited into an account in 2005, according to the federal lawsuit by the U.S. Justice Department.
In less than a year, the account plummeted to less than $7 million because of poor trading decisions by the associate, according to the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Chicago over the weekend.
The U.S. government froze the accounts in 2007 and is moving to collect the money under federal laws that allow seizure of assets connected to terrorism.
While the civil lawsuit does not link al Tayyeb’s money to any terror activity, it portrays him as an al-Qaida operative who raised money for the terror group and plotted attacks on U.S. citizens and allies.
“Al Tayyeb began raising significant amounts of money through . . . a Saudi Arabian-based investment scheme,” the lawsuit alleged. “Al Tayyeb then used the funds raised, in part, to finance jihadist-related activities.”

He should have had hillary clinton invest it for him.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
There’s some stimulus I can believe in.
Hey Al Qaeda,
WELCOME TO CAPITALISM!
Did you buy that Enron stock?
Investing, the sharia way.
Priceless!
Let’s send him a nice honey glazed ham so he feels better.
I wonder if Bin Laden called him and asked, “Hey, so about that money… You DO have the money, right?” and Abu Whateversalam was all like “Uhhhh… Yeah, let me check on it and call you back in a few…” and then Abu called the CIA…
I forget – what’s the penalty for ‘poor trading decisions’ under A-Q rules ?
Oh, wait – isn’t gambling and interest and all that ‘unIslamic’ ?????
Methinks his family needs to be shopping for a basket about the size of his head right now …..
Abu, go to Nancy Pelosi. She will show you how to increase wealth by 62% in a depressed economy. Or I’m sur ethe president would fix you up with some TARP or stimulus dollars. There’s usually some unused funds laying around somewhere or Ben Bernake can run you off a few bills.
Let me get this correct: A Chicago brokerage firm accepted, invested, and increased the trading account of someone who sent his profits to the Middle East to finance efforts to kill us. That about right?
However…..we are busting kids for lemonade stands, frisking and molesting White Grandmas and babies at airiports, protecting and funding abortionists, teaching our children how to swallow and fist, and precluding the heros and heroines who are trying to secure our Southern borders all while systematically destroying our own economy?
And the Obama Administration doesn’t see anything wrong for making money for the enemy?
I wonder if he traded hog bellys?
You need to be cautious when investing in pork bellies.
So were the capitalist scumbags…… but theyre now playing the stock market???
Muslims are just like libtards…. hypocritial as much as a human being possibly can be. No wonder they get along so well….
Poor ahab thought he could trade on our lust and fear of money. AAAAHHHHH
How’s that workin’ out for ya chief?
Ha ha ha. Another loser who was duped into the carbon credit scam huh?
Another graduate from the d-rat school of investing?
Clueless, but spend,spend,spend, it’s not your money!
Too bad the d-rats don’t lose their heads for what they have done to America!
ONLY in Chitcago!!
Guess they should have stuck with the goat futures market
