At 9.50pm AEDT yesterday, there was a sudden spike in trading on the oil and S&P 500 futures market.
6.50am New York time is an unusual time for a rush on trades on West Texas Intermediate May futures.
But it showed that all of a sudden, a substantial sum of money was bet on oil prices dropping and the stock market rising.
I have half an idea here, but let’s say we eventually figure out President Joffrey is part of this. They’ll try some bullshit argument about “he gets away with it because he’s president” and fight about it in court. Fine. Loophole, courts will sort it out.
What I’m interested in: Couldn’t the US government still seize the illicit money and force him to prove he earned it legally. They do that shit to other criminals in America. Why not use that legal concept on Mr Trump’s crime family?
Use Trump’s money as leverage to get him to squeal on everyone else for criminal charges they all can eat.
