A number of assumptions went into this: 1) As mentioned in the article, does Twitter publish the timestamp correctly? 2) Does Twitter delay their realtime feed API by 5 minutes, and have a higher priced tier available (that someone else frontran Trumps tweet on). 3) Are the published price/volume chart correct. I'm not saying something nefarious is going on, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
