April 9th: The Day the Market Was Rigged in Broad Daylight and Nobody’s Even Pretending Otherwise
April 9th, 2025. Mark it down.
Not as a Tuesday. Not as a news cycle. But as D-Day for Insider Trading—the greatest single-day heist on Wall Street that didn't involve masks or getaway cars.
Because somebody knew.
Somebody bought a truckload of zero-day S&P call options—basically high-stakes lottery tickets that bet the market would skyrocket within hours.
And guess what? Moments later, Trump tweeted that he was pausing tariffs. The market exploded. Those options? Gained over 2,000%.
Whoever did it made millions, instantly.
And the odds of that being luck? About the same as winning Powerball… while getting struck by lightning… twice.
So the question isn’t if someone traded on inside info.
The question is: who did Trump tell?
Was it a friend? A donor? One of the Mar-a-Lago brunch club?
Because you don’t place that kind of bet without knowing.
Democrats are now demanding an investigation, but let’s be honest—the receipts are already in the system.
The SEC and forensic accountants will eventually confirm it.
Probably right after the next president is sworn in… because of course they will.
Meanwhile, the rest of America just watched Wall Street insiders loot the casino, again, and the bouncer’s still on break.
But don’t worry.
The guy who made millions off insider info?
He’s probably golfing with the president this weekend.
