9/11
Kobi Alexander was CEO of Comverse, which bought Odigo, an Israeli instant messaging company, that reportedly admitted that two of its employees received instant messages warning of an impeding attack 2 hours prior to the first plane hitting.[citation needed] Some have claimed that this is linked to the Mossad.[1]
Fraud
On July 31, 2006, Alexander was charged by the US Department of Justice with multiple charges of conspiracy to commit various types of fraud (including securities fraud, wire fraud and mail fraud), as well as with related offences, all relating to the timing of Comverse's stock option grants. He was abroad at the time and chose not to return, but negotiate from the comparative safety of Namibia. In 2011, Kobi Alexander settled the civil charges with the SEC and gave up bank accounts worth $46 million to federal authorities.[2]
