U.S. Department of Justice notices insider trading by Trump



The Department and CFTC have launched an investigation into a series of trades in the oil market ahead of statements regarding Iran

At least 4 major shorts worth over $2.6 billion were identified, opened minutes before Donny's statement and Iranian officials' comments, after which prices plummeted, including:

➖ $500 million — 15 minutes before the decision to postpone strikes on Iran's energy system
➖ $960 million — before the announcement of a temporary ceasefire
➖ $760 million — before Iran's statement about opening the Strait of Hormuz
➖ $430 million — before the extension of the ceasefire

The traders were anonymous, their identities unknown, no charges have been filed, but authorities are investigating possible insider information and access to non-public data
