James (Jimmy) W. Walter of Amsterdam, Netherlands and Vienna, Austria is a venture capitalist, philanthropist and political activist of the United States who is a proponent of the 9/11 conspiracy theories. In December of 2004, he offered a $100,000 reward (increased to $1 million in September 2005) to anyone who can prove that the attacks were carried out as described by the September 11 Commission. He has left the USA to live in exile due to violent attacks against him and his property (Windshield Attack) and public threats made against him and Eric Hufschmid by Penn and Teller on national TV. The government at the local, county, state and national level have refused to investigate or proscecute any of this domestic terrorism against the opponents of the Bush Administration. Mr Walter commissioned a Zogby Poll which showed that 66% of New Yorkers wanted the 9/11 investigation reopened and that over 49% thought members of the administration knew about it ahead of time and let it happen. No New York Newspaper reported the poll until Mr Walter paid for advertisements announcing it.
