Insider Trading as a Service
I'm not sure this is even insider trading. It feels more like a bribe. I don't think the news feed itself will be very useful.
Is this not just straight up blatantly illegal on the face of it?
Am I taking crazy pills or is this timeline really so cursed?
He rapes children he does not give a single fuck
Not even a drop in the ocean of blatantly illegal things by this administration.
I'm not sure since they'd just be getting the news as soon as posted rather than ahead of time which would be insider trading
But of course insiders already get it before it's posted I'm pretty sure
There haven't been any fucking consequences so far, so why the hell would he think this wouldn't stand, as well?
Basically insider trading with paid approval. Got it.
So, the ones who know his ... ahem ... statements 😉 a minute earlier, they could win with their speculations?
Does anybody think this is something else than a tool for manipulating the stock market?
Well the tool for stock market manipulation is already is place and actively used. This ia just the introductions of an additional revenue stream. I mean you can never have enought money, right?
Its explicit.
We know it is for stock manipulation. There is no other reason anybody but his cultists would voluntarily forcefeed themselves with Trump social media diarrhea, and for a fee even.
Someone should make a bit that instantly retweets those posts as soon as they come through
For paying customers? Yet again, everything with this admin is a grift.
Grift*
Yeah that, thank you.
This has always been a thing, and we know it definitively from the Epstein files, as several of the declassified emails show that Epstein met with heads of state to discuss how to maximize their own timing of anticipated market events, like the 2008 crash.
Prediction markets and Donald's own corruption have just made it a publicly normalized thing.
People paying for this are getting conned twice. Once for paying obviously, but a second time when trump dumps his stocks after it shoots up from everyone copying his trades and they'll be left holding the bag.
And then when it crashes they'll all blame Biden
