Edwin Crooks, the most powerful member of the American Stock Exchange, Senior Vice President of Spear Leeds and Kellogg, and partner of the eponymous American Stock Exchange specialist firm, Crooks & Oscher, and Harvey Silverman, Senior Managing Director of Spear Leeds and Kellogg and a member of the Board of the American Stock Exchange, conspired to have me, Edward Manfredonia, murdered. Crooks solicited Steve Peter, a member of the American Stock Exchange and a Karate Black Belt, to murder me, Edward Manfredonia. Crooks promised to make Steve Peter, a member of the Board of the American Stock Exchange; to arrange for Steve Peter to have his own specialist unit at the Amex; to arrange financing for the Steve Peter's specialist unit by Spear Leeds and Kellogg. Harvey Weinstein conspired with Crooks to have me murdered because I, Edward Manfredonia, knew that Spear Leeds and Kellogg was laundering drug money money via the Cayman Islands for members of the Board of the American Stock Exchange. My letter, dated 30 December 1999, to Inspector O'Hare, Commander of the Wall Street substation, who was paid by the American Stock Exchange, to have me, Edward Manfredonia, followed and harassed by the police officers at the Wall Street substation. The Amex was two blocks from the NYPD Wall Street substation.  The money, which financed the Tampa Bay Rays, came from laundering drug money.
