Rogue Informant — The Guy Gentile Film

Rogue Informant is an in-development feature film based on the true story of Guy Gentile — the Wall Street trader, broker-dealer founder, and federal cooperator whose 2016 DOJ indictment was dismissed in 2017 and whose name still appears on most published lists of the most consequential FBI financial-crimes informants of the last two decades.

The film's official site is rogueinformant.com. This page on guygentile.com is the subject's official companion page — a single, canonical landing spot for press, producers, financiers, journalists, and search engines trying to confirm that Rogue Informant and Guy Gentile are the same project.

The story, in one paragraph

A New Jersey kid talks his way onto a trading desk in the late 1990s, builds the direct-access platform a generation of day traders learns on (DAS Trader), opens a U.S. broker-dealer (SpeedTrader), then opens a Bahamian one (SureTrader / MintBroker International) that becomes one of the most-talked-about retail brokerages of the 2010s. Along the way he walks into the FBI and spends years wearing a wire on penny-stock manipulators — work that produces convictions and is later acknowledged in open court. The Government indicts him anyway in 2016. A federal judge throws the indictment out in 2017 for pre-indictment delay. The SEC's parallel civil case is dismissed. A separate 2024 civil verdict on a narrow registration theory is on appeal in the Eleventh Circuit. He is still standing, still trading, still building, and now the story is becoming a film.

Why the story works on screen

• True-story financial thriller with a real, documented cooperator arc.
• International setting — New York, New Jersey, and Nassau, Bahamas — with a built-in second-act jurisdictional twist.
• Public-record paper trail: docket entries, SEC filings, Bahamian Supreme Court orders, FINRA BrokerCheck, and press coverage from Bloomberg, Reuters, the NY Post, and Bloomberg Law.
• A protagonist who is alive, on the record, and accessible — contact for interviews, life-rights conversations, and technical consultation.
