Immediately prior to the attacks of 9/11, there was an
unusually heavy spike of 600% of 1575 put options on
United Airlines, and 2,258 on United Airlines (compared to
normal orders of 390 and 220 respectively), as well as on
several stocks of the major insurance and financial tenants,
such as Merrill-Lynch and Morgan Stanley in the WTC

attack. Many of those put options were managed by the Wall
Street firm Deutschebank/AB Brown, a firm managed until 1998 by the current
Executive Director of the CIA, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard. 3 Lynne Howard, a

sheeting,' or the CBOE Market Surveillance System, that everyone in the business
knows about. It provides information on the trades - the name and even the
Social Security number on an account - and these surveillance systems are set up
specifically to look into insider trading. The system would look at the volume, and
