Interesting, but how do I know you aren't the CIA, trying to get my phone number?

I desperatly wanted a baseball cap. You have convinced me I shouldn't send my name and address....would you buy one for me and I'll send a courier to the pentagon to pick it up?

Yes I wanted one too, but the same thought crossed my mind, so I decided against it...paranoia sucks...besides I've changed my avatar, I'm not Dept. of Defense anymore, I'm Droogs of Death... but maybe to keep with the financial theme, I'll go with Droogs of Debt...

Call from a phone booth or borrow someones mobile! 

About time you started this.  I've wondered where all the "deepthroats" are these days.

GS has established the short positions they wanted to get another 44 days of 100Million days, It would be real fun to take the market up and make GS cover this time...

800 numbers (888 too) record all incoming numbers, and pay phones are hard to find these days. How about a non-800 number too for all us overly cautious tipsters?

You should also open up 'offices' in tokyo. It's easy with skype... zh servers are in sweden .... i wonder where in the world td really is?

I think by now it is obvious that TD is not just one guy.  Unless, you think one individual can print a dozen articles a day, stay glued to Bloomberg, read all the comments and then have time to take your call?

TD would then be easily identifiable as the single largest consumer of Red Bull.

Actually that part is true.  All modern cellphones leave a traceable signal, even when turned-off, if the battery is inserted.  Likewise, your computer camera and microphone can be turned on in a similar manner.  This is known as a "roving bug".

Only real solution is to buy an old cellphone or completely removing the battery after each call.  Same applies for computers.

You should report the sec to the white house.  Of course, they would only get in trouble if they actually DID their job.

Technically not a big bank (bigger than most tho), been going ker-plop for some time now - CEO ousted months ago - Orlando branches raided few weeks back - something about bad loans I suppose. Oh, bank is in Alabama. They are smart like that you know. Spoke with people in the know over a year ago that saw this one as possibly unavoidable. Guess they were right.

Marla - Appreciate the Toll Free.  Makes using a pay-phone booth all the more attractive. 

You never know, you may get one of those infamous RAHM phone calls we used to see a transcript of around here.

Why make it so complicated?

Just do this:

1) buy a pre-paid phone card from a street vendor

2) go to an internet cafe w/voip/skype

3) make call w/the phone card

boom! that's it.

It's what millions of people do around the world. You see a lot of immigrants in western countries doing this all the time.

Internet cafes have cameras, not to mention cameras of neighboring businesses. Everything on internet is traceable, maybe you can wear them down by using proxy overlay, but if they try hard enough they can trace.

Hey Marla,

Will you please let us listen, at the end of the day, to the funny remarks that will probably end up on your line? I sometimes watch "RED EYE" on Fox TV, and it is alot of fun to hear the stuff that the host gets on his "private' line...maybe you could broadcast the "comments" on zerohedge radio?
