The interesting thing about the article is that, by the logic it presents, there are at least three parties profiting from inside information:
1. Someone who knows what the IGRC is about to do
2. Someone who knows what the Hong Kong government is about to do
3. Someone who knows what Trump is about to do
I guess this would mean that numerous unscrupulous people at different international power centers have all figured out the same thing on their own? Otherwise we're in Thomas Pynchon novel territory.
- kasey_junk 7y agoAnd yet the one piece of attributed evidence this article even quotes is the CME saying it wasn’t a single actor. These trades are fully attributed. The exchange knows exactly who is trading them, the idea that a market actor would use inside info from many different governmental entities to buy giant blocks at the close for improvements over the next week is idiotic. Meanwhile a lot of actors hedging positions in ways that hit the hedge is completely normal.
