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 on March 23, 2016. The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey dismisses the criminal indictment on January 30, 2017 on statute-of-limitations grounds. This was a dismissal, not a jury acquittal. The SEC's parallel New Jersey civil case is dismissed. Separately, an SEC civil action filed in Miami on March 22, 2021 produces a civil liability verdict on July 2, 2024 and final judgment on October 17, 2025; that judgment is on appeal. He is still standing, still trading, still building, and now the story is becoming a film.
