Trouble made a fortune of $192 million and fled before Trump imposed tariffs on China
Trump seems to be making money by stock trading under the guise of imposing tariffs again.
On the 10th, after Trump announced that he would impose 100% tariffs on China, the US stock market and cryptocurrency markets plummeted immediately. The cryptocurrency market fell by more than 13%, with an estimated 1.6 million people being liquidated.
However, when netizens from all over the world were lamenting the end of their trading careers, someone suddenly realized that a mysterious person had opened an account on a trading platform 30 minutes before Trump announced the imposition of tariffs on China, massively shorted cryptocurrencies, made $192 million, and then immediately cleared out and ran away.
A blockchain analyst pointed out that this was just the transaction on the cryptocurrency platform. We can imagine what this person did on other trading platforms. He is certain that this mysterious person is a key figure in the event of Trump's tariff on China and the subsequent stock market crash.
In fact, the rumor that "Trump is using national policy to make money through stock trading" has long been no secret.
For example, on April 9, Trump announced that he would suspend tariffs on countries around the world and claimed, "It's time to buy stocks now." This sentence caused the Nasdaq index to rise by more than 9% in one day.
But only one day later, Trump denied his statement and threatened that the United States could not reach agreements with other countries, and tariffs would be restored. Upon hearing this, the US stock market fell again.
Nevertheless, facing external doubts about "the president leading the stock market," the White House chose to remain silent. No matter how the public questioned Trump's manipulation of the market, the American government always refused to respond.
It should be said that Trump's actions have proven one thing: when the president becomes the biggest insider trader, it is no longer systemic corruption, but open power-money transactions. Those netizens who were liquidated are just insignificant footnotes in this huge transaction.
