Citadel’s Financial Terrorism: The Heist of the Century & Trump’s Call to Crush Wall Street Corruption
President Donald Trump has suggested that Elon Musk’s government efficiency team has uncovered irregularities in U.S. Treasuries. This revelation aligns with Federal Reserve researchers’ warnings about potential disruptions in the Treasury market due to hedge funds’ record-high short positions in basis trades.
For years, InvestorTurf has reported on Citadel’s role in manipulating both the U.S. Treasury and stock markets. The evidence is overwhelming. Citadel has systematically shorted the Treasury bond market using the repo market, executing large-scale short positions through Palafox Trading, a Citadel-owned entity explicitly created for short selling and Treasury bond trading. Palafox oversees the Citadel Global Fixed Income Master Fund LTD, which acts as a vehicle for these market-distorting trades.
But Citadel’s corruption doesn’t stop at Treasuries. In 2021, Citadel participated in the biggest heist in history, defrauding retail investors by manipulating the stock market during the GameStop and AMC short squeeze scandal. Citadel was at the center of the illegal scheme, using its influence over clearinghouses and brokers to halt buying while allowing hedge funds to cover their short positions.
Citadel’s political influence runs deep. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen received $810,000 in speaking fees from Citadel, a blatant bribe ensuring that regulators turned a blind eye to their crimes.
In April 2024, Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes wrote a letter to Nasdaq exposing Citadel and other market makers for naked shorting Trump Media (DJT) and other stocks. Instead of responding with transparency, Citadel mocked Nunes, calling him a “loser,” and continued to naked short Trump Media. Ken Griffin was betting on Trump losing the 2024 election and planned to short Trump Media into oblivion, never covering.
Citadel’s disrespect for the President is no secret. Ken Griffin publicly called @realDonaldTrump a “three-time loser.”
The American people are demanding action. Over 22,000 people signed a petition calling for an investigation into Citadel and Ken Griffin.
It’s Time for Trump and Elon Musk to Take Action
InvestorTurf calls on Donald Trump to immediately issue an executive order guaranteeing life in prison for executives who engage in market manipulation. Wall Street fraudsters like Ken Griffin should face the full force of the law.
Additionally, we demand a temporary ban on short selling until a full investigation is conducted into the 2021 stock market scandal that defrauded retail investors.
To successfully implement his America First agenda, Trump must protect American companies from Wall Street’s predatory behavior. If Citadel is allowed to continue its financial terrorism unchecked, the U.S. economy will remain under siege by corrupt hedge funds and manipulated markets.
Call for @elonmusk and DOGE to Investigate
InvestorTurf calls on Elon Musk and the DOGE to launch an immediate investigation into Citadel’s fraudulent activities in both the Treasury and stock markets. Musk has exposed corruption before—now it’s time to take on Wall Street’s biggest scam.
The American people will not stand by while Citadel robs them blind. The time for accountability is now.

1. The U.S. had the fastest decline in church attendance in history
2. Socializing time fell for all groups—but declined the most for those whose religiosity fell the most
