From the column:
*President Donald Trump’s announcement that he was in* [*“productive” peace talks with Iran*](https://www.ms.now/news/trump-iran-talks-war-five-days-strikes) *on Monday morning was a surprise. But an unusual burst in trading activity just 15 minutes before his announcement has raised questions about whether people with access to inside information about the announcement attempted to illegally profit from it.*
Fiddling the books and vulnerability.. dear Watson

It’s also possible and plausible Trump is a child abuser, but he got away with that so…

Wars are generally fought for profiteering purposes.
There’s a reason republicans are well known for and expected to instigate wars of choice in the Middle East.

But how *could* they have known… ?
What a puzzle.

Uhh, DUH?
How are people still surprised by this?
This entire regime is corrupt and lawless. He’s spent his entire life breaking the law and the one time he was about to face consequences for it, you MAGA voter idiots got him off. Just as he wanted.

That’s a strange way to say, “all but certain.”

Even if there’s no direct proof of insider trading, the fact that markets keep moving right before major announcements is a massive trust problem. At some point it stops looking like coincidence.

“Certain.” the word is “Certain.” Nothing could be more obvious than the nose on your face.

The window of opportunity is small. The timing is narrow. And, the evidence will be found. Follow the money. Who got rich? Who did they communicate with? How do those communications link back to the white house inner circle? Who will cooperate to avoid prosecution? There are plenty of guilty parties. They all know who they are. They may think they’re safe now. Maybe for some that will be true. But not for all. A day will come, and examples will be made. Until then sleep well if you can.

It’s so fucking obvious. This administration is the largest and most successful crime organization that ever existed.

*Trump’s announcement immediately pushed the price of oil down, because it signaled that his war on Iran might be coming to an end sooner rather than later. That would potentially free up the roughly 20% of the global oil supply that has largely remained stuck in the Persian Gulf due to* [*Iran’s stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz*](https://www.ms.now/opinion/trump-iran-strait-hormuz-nato-allies-germany-china)*. Traders who bet on the unexpected Trump news* [*positioned themselves*](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-24/iran-strikes-persist-even-as-trump-claims-talks-to-end-conflict) *to make money from the price of oil dropping.*
