Like 'Deep Throat' Said: "Follow the Money..."

Fifteen minutes before Trump's Iran bombshell, billions flooded into a mystery oil bet - now the hunt is on for who knew.

Just minutes before Donald Trump announced a temporary pause on strikes targeting Iran's energy sites, billions of dollars starting flowing through the oil market.

Contracts for at least six million barrels of Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude were sold at around 6.50am on Monday - roughly ten times the daily average.

At 7.05am, President Trump dropped a bombshell on global markets as he said the US wanted to negotiate with Iran.

Oil prices dropped sharply, around 14 percent in a matter of minutes, and money flowed into the pockets of the early traders.

It's not the first time that outsize bets have rippled across the markets since Trump took office: everything from Bitcoin to stock‑index futures options have made traders buckets of cash, with prediction sites making profiteering even more accessible.

But the prospect that insider traders are potentially making money on highly classified secrets from the heart of the Oval Office during the Iran war poses a far more glaring security and ethical question.

Just minutes before President Donald Trump announced a peace deal with Iran was close, a mysterious investor named "Pancy_Nelosi" placed hundreds of millions on a speculative trade that oil prices would plummet.

The remarkably-timed trade paid off to the tune of a massive, swift return on the investment, with "Pancy_Nelosi" raking in unheard-of profits in just a few hours.

@sunsporter1649 Too bad your corrupt orange pedophile dotard already bragged about NOT briefing democrats before his announcements🤣😂😝🤣😂

Targeted Briefings: Reports indicate that top congressional Republicans were briefed before the strikes, while Democrats were briefed afterward, prompting criticism from lawmakers regarding a lack of consultation.

"Surprise" Rationale: Trump has argued that informing Democrats, or in some cases allies, would have compromised the element of surprise, referencing the need for secrecy in military actions.

@newjaninev2 It would never occur to you that after investigating, there was nothing to prosecute?

@sunsporter1649 Elon Musk's PAC committed election fraud in Georgia; the tRump admin refuses to investigate.

CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. — A political action committee founded by Elon Musk received a letter of reprimand from the Georgia State Election Board this week for sending pre-filled absentee ballot applications to voters ahead of the 2024 election.
