The follow-up post shows the whole magnitude of the insider trading:

> My previous post highlighted a striking example: how a single $2.5 million options position turned into $70 million in under an hour. But focusing solely on that trade risks missing the larger picture. What we actually saw was widespread activity. Numerous sophisticated traders carefully placing positions across several strike prices ($504, $505, $507, $509) in SPY as well as similar trades in QQQ.

> The pattern wasn't limited to a single trade or strike price. It was a coordinated wave of positions, all established within a critical half-hour window before the news broke.

> Imagine someone purchasing thousands of lottery tickets with a specific number combination just moments before those exact numbers are drawn.

How can the average MAGA voter which waves a little flag at a rally feel ok with this?

It's treason what they did, treason on their principles. All this in times when it was supposedly "Main Street" turn.

Is it any different, in principle, to what congressmen (and women) have been doing for decades? Insider trading, corruption, etc. has all been normalized.


You’re assuming they’ll even hear about it, lol.

Apparently most of them are just temporarily embarrassed billionaires.
