Das Weiße Haus ist mit riesigen Wetten konfrontiert, die wenige Minuten vor Trumps großem Kriegszug abgeschlossen wurden

Traders placed nearly half a billion dollars in bets on falling oil prices just 15 minutes before President Trump’s announcement of “productive” talks with Iran sent prices tumbling.

“It’s hard to prove causality . . . but you have to wonder who would have been relatively aggressive at selling futures at that point, 15 minutes before Trump’s post,” one market strategist told the Financial Times of the transactions.

Roughly 6,200 Brent and West Texas Intermediate contracts traded between 6:49 a.m. and 6:50 a.m. on Monday, with unusually large bets in the oil futures market, worth roughly $580 million.

The trades seemed reminiscent of an anonymous bet on Polymarket in January that saw one lucky user win $436,000 by betting on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s ouster just hours before he was captured by U.S. forces.

On Monday, the trades came just minutes before Trump took to Truth Social to declare that he was postponing his threatened strikes on Iran, an announcement that caused oil prices to fall and stock futures to jump.

“My gut from watching markets for the last 25 years is this is really abnormal,” one unnamed portfolio manager told the FT. “It’s Monday morning, there’s no important data today, there aren’t any Fed speakers you’d want to front run. It’s an unusually large trade for a day with no event risk . . . Somebody just got a lot richer.”

In addition to the half a billion in oil, someone also bet $1.5 Billion on the S&P going up like a rocket… 15 minutes before the fake-twitter post that made it do exactly that.

One of his billionaire buddies was told what was about to happen, in exchange for a healthy kickback, no doubt. Is it illegal? Absolutely. What’s the SEC or the FTC going to do about it? Absolutely nothing. Of course.

Remember when DOGE emptied the SEC office?

LOL! Sure, insider trading is illegal, but who is going to arrest them for it, the DOJ? Pam Bondi is more than likely in on it.

This is what it looks like when The Mafia takes over the federal government. We’re no different from Russia at this point.

Trumps net woth up 4 BILLION in a year. That’s all you need to know. They are all in on it, fricking disgusting.

I actually think it’s less about friends of friends profiting and more about the Trump administration manipulating the markets for political gain.

I think they saw the markets tanking to start the week and said we need a two step approach. In addition to a presidential tweet that they will try to retcon to be true later they need buy pressure on equities and sell pressure on oil. The money could have come from Scott Bessant directly out of the Treasury for all we know.

Stock market has become nothing more than a rigged gambling game.

these bozos are ruining the value of the US dollar and they don’t care about the consequences. we are truly screwed.

There will be no repercussions for any of this

TIL market manipulation is legal now. All crime is legal, unless you’re not the Epstein class.

Fuck these corrupt fucks

The amount of insider trading in the past year is going to max out prison cells. I can assure you of this. They all think they’re getting away with it – not in 2026. Not at all. There’s always a trail. Trump is RIPPING the people off every day. And he is going to pay.

This trade wasn’t just a one-off, random, „whisper“ once situation. It was the act of a consolidated, organized network of billionaire criminals who have been doing this for a long time. This is what they do. This is who they are. This is how they have operated their entire lives. Epsteinians are life-long, sadistic, megalomaniacal satanist opportunists who kill, steal, rape, lie and murder like the rest of us snack, watch TV, browse the internet & brush our teeth.

And they will keep doing it. At every opportunity. And you will do nothing about it. No one will stop it. No one will do anything. It will go on.

And you will forget about it. And I will forget about it. And everyone will just forget about it.

And they will get away with it.

Like they always do.

do we really have to pretend we’re naive idiots every time they do something like this? how many crimes before the media says the word crime? how many lies before they say the word lie?

Market. Manipulation.
