Besides the implications re the assassination, I have questions about shorting all those stocks…
If I short millions, and if my gamble doesn't pay off, I must cover those positions, right? If I can't cover, it's a relentless bullet-train straight to bankruptcy. There's no getting off before the train reaches the station.
But when they short millions, and their gamble doesn't pay off, they just get to say "oopsie?" They get to make their bet before the assassination attempt then claim it was a "filing error" after the attempt failed?
And maybe the financially savvy here can explain it to me, but does anyone really believe that a "filing error" of that size didn't pass through layers of scrutiny and approval first…especially considering the size of the clients who stood to gain/lose?
And were BOTH the Trump and Rumble shorts claimed to be "filing errors?" Did they make TWO "filing errors?"
Boy, do I have some oopsies I'd like to fix.
