More than half of the value of the total bets the trader made against the Venezuelan president came from wagers made in the hours before the U.S. attack on Caracas

    On the stock market, insider trading is illegal

    I mean, it used to be illegal. It’s been done so frequently and so publicly in the past year it’s only really illegal for some.

          I think you’re right if you meant “poors!” Which you might have because “poors” just corrected to “poles” for me.

          Poor people don’t have insider information.

    You really can bet on everything, huh? Don’t think that’s a good thing.

    Not just hours. Per reporting from Protos, the position opened several days in advance.

    Technically this was a military intelligence leak. Maduro hypothetically could have used the market spike as a signal to gtfo.
