🇺🇸BREAKING: Someone placed a $920 million crude oil short at 3:40 AM.
70 minutes later Axios reported the US and Iran were close to a deal.
Oil dropped 12%.
The trade made $125 million in profit.
Minutes after that Iran launched the “Persian Gulf Strait Authority” and oil surged 8%.
$760 million placed before Trump’s last announcement.
$920 million placed before this one.
Every major announcement in this war has been front-run by someone who knew it was coming.
What kind of war is this?
This is more like a trading desk with an army.
Never stop connecting the dots.
I have no side to pick in this IOG and iagon and midnight flame, for I have positions on $ADA, $IAG and $NIGHT. I just want to say I have less money now because kids have argued online and other kids have panicked seeing the kids arguing. I didn't came here for investing in kids stocks. Grow up you all and prove me the contrary.

On April 9th, 2025, the President posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" on Truth Social. Hours later he announced a 90-day tariff pause. The Nasdaq surged 12%. That was the proof of concept.
On March 22nd the President posted that he would obliterate Iran's power plants. Oil surged. On March 23rd at 7:04 AM he posted that conversations were productive and strikes were postponed.
At 6:49 AM — 15 minutes before that post — someone bought $580 million in oil futures. 6,200 contracts. The average volume for that time slot was 700. That is 9 times normal. There was no scheduled economic report. No Fed speech. No news event.
Oil dropped. The Dow gained 1,000 points. Estimated profit: $40 to $50 million.
On Polymarket, one trader made $967,000 betting on unannounced military operations with a 93% success rate. Another made $436,000 predicting the exact timing of Maduro's capture. 8 accounts bet $70,000 on the Iran ceasefire with what The Guardian called "signs of insider knowledge."
Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket's advisory board. He is also a paid strategic adviser to Kalshi. Those are the two largest prediction markets. His father's unannounced military operations are the most profitable bets on both platforms.
On April 10th the White House sent a staff-wide email reminding employees not to use confidential information to place trades. In March the SEC's top enforcement official resigned after clashing with the Trump-appointed SEC Chair over pursuing cases connected to the President's circle. The investigator is gone. The CFTC has not confirmed or denied an investigation.
These events are unrelated.
I wanted to stay out of the politics but this is ridiculous.
Printing your own meme coin to extract real value from the ecosystem. They’re not going to pay that back!
It puts FTX and all these other rugs to shame.
Way to dump on your holders and exit a sinking ship.
