My name is Edward Manfredonia, and I am a former member of the American Stock Exchange. I wish to inform you of criminal activity at the American Stock Exchange. Read the information on this web site and you shall learn how a stock exchange truly operates.

My allegations were featured in a Business Week cover story; the April 26, 1999, which you can read here. [An archived version can be found here.]

The entirety of the story is much bigger than Enron, Arthur Andersen, World Com, Xerox, and even previous scandals such as Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken. The reason: The federal government actively covered up these crimes and assisted in the perpetration of these crimes. My primary motivation is that the federal government and the Manhattan District Attorney have protected Robert VanCaneghan, a millionaire and former governor of the American Stock Exchange, who has admitted that he is a serial rapist. Robert VanCaneghan raped his female employees and Mary Jo White and Robert Morgenthau have protected a confessed serial rapist.

Would you want your daughters and wives to work in a city where white serial rapists are protected even after they have admitted to raping women.
This website is divided into two parts.

PART I
You must read my missives to Janet Reno and to Federal Judge Casey as an introduction. Part I exposes major criminal activity at the American Stock Exchange which was covered up by the federal government (Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Justice, Internal Revenue Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, etc.); the State of New York (Manhattan District Attorney, Attorney General of the State of New York, and New York City (New York Police Department) because Arthur Levitt, former Chairman of the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) and afterwards, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, did not wish crimes such as rape, sexual enslavement, money laundering, narcotics smuggling, etc.- all of which occurred at the American Stock Exchange during Levitt's tenure as Chairman of the AMEX, and which continued after his resignation, to become known.

These crimes were covered up because Arthur Levitt wished these crimes, especially rape, to be covered up. To this end, his friends, Howard Safir, Police Commissioner; Robert Morgenthau, Manhattan District Attorney; Mary Jo White, United States Attorney for the Southern District of the State of New York; Peter Kann, Chairman of Dow Jones; and Arthur Sulzberger, Chairman of The New York Times, were willing to permit Caucasian women to be raped by Robert VanCaneghan, a millionaire and governor of the American Stock Exchange, and were willing to have African-American and Latino women submit to sexual enslavement by Richard Mondarine, a manager of the American Stock Exchange. All this to protect Arthur Levitt and the American Stock Exchange.

Paul Volcker, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve and a member of the Board of Governors of the American Stock Exchange, also led in this cover up. Volcker induced Richard Syron, one of his disciples and an individual with a history of mental illness, to become Chairman of the American Stock Exchange.

PART II
Part II details criminal activity at the American Stock Exchange. The American Stock Exchange covered up criminal activity involving its stocks and options. Stocks such as Hanover Direct, IVAX, Forest Drugs, etc. the principal officers of which were governors of the American Stock Exchange were illegally traded. Other stocks, such as PSI, OnSite Energy, Bowmar, Hanover Direct, etc. were not only illegally traded but were manipulated. I mailed missives to the public governors of the AMEX, especially some of those chief executive officers whose stocks were illegally traded and informed them of stock manipulation and illegal trading. These public officers did nothing, but covered up the illegal trading of the stocks of their companies.

This covering up of illegal trading, with the blessing of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice, has occurred to the present with Jonathan Frey, a specialist, illegally selling the stock of Devon Energy short on a minus tick and illegally trading other stocks in which he (Frey) is the specialist.

I wish it to be known that Pat Schettino initiated his lawsuit against me with the knowledge and approval of Joel Lovett, Vice Chairman of the AMEX; Richard Syron, Chairman of the AMEX; and Steven Lister, Senior Vice President of Compliance, (who according to the FBI accepted bribes to forego disciplinary action against white collar criminals and the Italian Mafia). The American Stock Exchange wished Schettino's crimes to be covered up.
