I had a very ugly encounter with a young man - likely a socialist - at the grocery store this evening for trying to charge me for plastic bags
I was buying two handles of Fireball for this week. The cashier rang me up and before I paid he asked me if I wanted bags. I said yes, and he told me there would be a ten cent bag charge
“The hell there will be, junior,” I said, “Take that off the bill of sale right now.”
“I can’t do that sir. But I can do is sell you one of our canvas bags. They are reusable and only cost a dollar.”
“If I wanted to carry my liquor around in a burlap sack like a Depression-era vagrant, I’d move to California,” I replied.
“Sir I really don’t know what you want. If you don’t want to pay for the bags just carry them out.”
“I think I’ll do just that,” I said.
I then snatched my debit card from him before he could charge it, picked up the two handles of Fireball, and strode out of there without paying
I received a standing ovation

NEW: Two 18-year-old Ocala teens arrested after riding lawnmower through Target store while filming social media stunt
On Saturday, at the Target store in Ocala, Florida, 18-year-old Janek Szkaradek drove a riding lawnmower inside the store, damaging a door, while 18-year-old Luke Charske recorded the stunt for social media.
Both teens were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
Charske was charged as a principal to the disorderly conduct.
Szkaradek faces additional charges of criminal mischief and disorderly conduct for a separate incident the night before, where he entered a nearby Culver’s restaurant and used a leaf blower inside the business.
“These actions endangered people and caused property damage,” Ocala PD stated, “They are crimes, not harmless videos.”

My grandmother lived through the Woodward F5 Tornado that killed 100's of people. They had just moved into their new house that day, and it was leveled.
The only thing she carried forward from that was the realization of how worthless the Red Cross is. Till her dying day, she would turn red if you asked about the Red Cross.
The people of Oklahoma don't rely on the government or NGO's. They rely on each other.

Quick point. We have had 4 baby boomer presidents. 5 if you count Biden, who is right on the edge. We’ve had ZERO Gen X. We went from almost no debt, to almost 40 trillion. That generation has left us with a debt we can never repay.
The GOP boomers were so angry at “immigrants” and brainwashed by @foxnews they elected the worst president again (GOP primary and general) instead of relinquishing power to Gen X.
It’s time we pass the torch.

Chips fried in beef dripping were a different object to what passes for a chip today.
Walk into a Whitby chippy in 1978. The fryer has been on since 11am. The fat in it is beef dripping, held at 180 degrees by a man in a white apron who has been frying chips since he was fifteen. There are no seed oils in the building. The idea would not occur to anyone.
Thick-cut Maris Pipers, ninety seconds in the dripping. Dark gold at the edges, fluffy inside, crisp in a way that sets your teeth against them. Salt. Vinegar. Paper. Two bob.
You eat them walking home along the harbour wall. The chip tastes of the chip and also of something underneath the chip, something deeper, something you don't have a name for because you are nine and nobody names it, it is just what chips taste like.
That taste was beef dripping.
By 2002, 90% of British chippies had switched to rapeseed, palm, or sunflower oil, on the advice of public health officials citing research since quietly retracted. A stable saturated fat used for ten thousand years, swapped for an industrial oil invented in 1911, oxidised at fryer temperatures for twelve hours a day.
A seed-oil chip is lighter, flatter. The crust doesn't hold. The flavour stops at the potato. No deeper note. No roast beef on a Friday.
Ask a British person under thirty what chips are supposed to taste like and they will describe, with complete sincerity, the chip they have always eaten. A chip their great-grandfather would have considered a practical joke. They cannot miss it, because the reference point was removed from the national palate before they were born.
A handful of chippies still fry in dripping. The Magpie in Whitby. A few survivors in Yorkshire, Lancashire, the Black Country.
Go. Drive. Queue. Eat them standing up, out of the paper.
You will understand, in one bite, what was taken.
The cow is still in the field. The suet is still at the butcher. The fryer could be switched back tomorrow.
A whole country forgot what a chip was.

I have two stacks on my desk. The left stack is financial disclosure forms from members of Congress. The right stack is waivers for members who filed their financial disclosures late.
The right stack is always taller.
On Wednesday morning, I watched a soldier get arrested on CNN.
I am a Disclosure Analyst for the House Ethics Committee. I have held this position for eleven years. My job is to receive the forms, verify their completeness, and file them. I do not investigate. I do not flag. I do not refer. I file. I have a lanyard. The lanyard says ETHICS.
The soldier's name is Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He is thirty-eight years old. He was stationed at Fort Bragg. He was Special Forces. In December, he created an account on a prediction market called Polymarket. On January 2nd, he bet $32,500 that the president of Venezuela would be removed from power. On January 3rd, he helped remove the president of Venezuela from power. He collected $409,881.
He has been charged with five federal crimes. Commodities fraud. Wire fraud. Unlawful use of confidential government information. Theft of nonpublic government information. Unlawful monetary transaction. The Department of Justice called it "the first-ever insider trading prosecution on event contracts."
I watched this on the television in our break room. Then I walked back to my desk and processed a late financial disclosure from a member of the House Financial Services Committee who purchased $250,000 in bank stocks eleven days before his subcommittee held a closed-door hearing on proposed capital reserve changes.
The filing was forty-seven days late. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within forty-five days. The penalty for late filing is $200.
I waived it.
I waive most of them. In 2021, fifty-four members of Congress and senior staff violated the reporting rules. The fines were minimal. Most were waived. I have a form for the waiver. The form has a box that says "Reason." I write "administrative delay." In ethics, "administrative delay" means the member's office forgot and then remembered when a reporter called. My approval rate is one hundred percent. In any other field, that number would trigger an audit. In mine, it is called thoroughness.
Let me show you what I processed this year.
January. A senator on the Armed Services Committee sold defense contractor shares worth $1.2 million. Three days later, his committee received a classified briefing that the Iran campaign had exceeded its projected cost by 340%. The stock dropped 8%. He filed the disclosure sixty-one days late. I calculated the fine. $200. His chief of staff asked if it could be waived. He did not ask what the senator traded on. Nobody asks that. The form does not have a field for it. I waived the fine. The senator's portfolio returned 23.4% in 2025. The S&P 500 returned 16.8%.
February. A representative on the Energy and Commerce Committee bought pharmaceutical stocks worth $400,000. Two weeks later, her committee advanced a bill that would extend patent exclusivity for the exact drug class she purchased. The stocks rose 14%. She filed on time. There was no fine. There was no investigation. There was nothing to investigate because buying stocks in companies regulated by your own committee is not illegal. It is legal. The STOCK Act made it legal by making it disclosed. In Congress, disclosed means legal. In my office, legal means filed.
March. A member whose spouse manages a portfolio worth $9.2 million reported forty-three separate transactions in a single quarter. Twelve of them were in sectors directly affected by legislation the member co-sponsored. The timing on eight of those twelve was within a two-week window of committee action. I logged all forty-three. None were flagged. We do not flag. We file.
I asked my supervisor once what would happen if I flagged a filing. She said we do not have a form for that. I never asked again.
In 2020, I processed 847 disclosures. In 2023, 1,211. In 2025, 1,614. The number of enforcement actions in each of those years was zero. The numerator changes. The denominator does not.
I want to tell you about the soldier again.
He made $409,881. He tried to delete his Polymarket account by calling customer service and saying he lost access to his email. He moved his profits into a foreign cryptocurrency vault and then into a new brokerage account. He used his real identity. He placed thirteen bets. Every single one was connected to an operation he personally participated in.
In my eleven years, I have processed disclosures from members of Congress who traded on:
Pending FDA approvals they learned about in committee.
Defense appropriations they voted on.
Trade policy they negotiated.
Pandemic response measures they drafted.
Interest rate decisions they were briefed on before the public.
None of them have been charged. None of them have been investigated by the Department of Justice. None of them have been referred to the SEC. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions since it was signed on April 4th, 2012.
Fourteen years. Five hundred and thirty-five members. $635 million in trades last year alone. Zero cases.
My daughter asked me once what happens when someone breaks the rules. I told her we write it down. She asked what happens after that. I said it depends. She was nine. She is twenty now. It does not depend. Nothing happens after that.
The soldier made $409,881 and faces decades in prison. Nancy Pelosi entered Congress in 1987 with a portfolio worth approximately $785,000. It is now worth $133.7 million. That is a return of 16,930%. The Dow Jones returned 2,300% over the same period. Professional fund managers who beat the market for three consecutive years are considered exceptional. She has beaten it for thirty-seven. If a hedge fund produced those returns, the SEC would subpoena the records on a Thursday. She produced them from a building with a chapel and a gift shop.
She announced her retirement last year. No investigation was opened. No disclosure was flagged. Her filings were on time. In my office, on time means compliant. Compliant means closed.
I want to tell you about the fine.
$200. That is the maximum penalty for violating the STOCK Act's disclosure requirements. $200 for a member of Congress whose portfolio gained $4.7 million in a single quarter. I calculated what $200 represents as a percentage of $4.7 million. It is 0.004%. I could not find a comparison that made it meaningful. It is less than the price of the parking pass in the Rayburn garage. It is less than lunch at the members' dining room if you order the crab cakes, which I am told are excellent though I eat at my desk.
Since 2012, thirty-one bills have been introduced to restrict congressional trading. I keep a list. The list is longer than the STOCK Act itself.
On March 5th, 2026, a representative from Michigan introduced the thirty-second. He called it the "No Getting Rich in Congress Act." The bill would prohibit the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their spouses from trading individual stocks, cryptocurrency, futures, and commodities while in office.
The bill was referred to committee. The committee has not scheduled a hearing. The committee is chaired by a member whose spouse executed $2.1 million in trades last year.
The bill will be reviewed. In my office, reviewed means read. Read means acknowledged. Acknowledged means a status has been assigned. A status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one.
The soldier used classified information to make $409,881 on a prediction market. He has been charged with five federal crimes. The Department of Justice announced the case on the same day I processed three disclosures from members who traded on committee knowledge worth a combined $3.8 million.
The difference between the soldier and the members is not what they did. It is the building they did it in. He did it from Fort Bragg. They did it from the Capitol. He used a prediction market. They used the New York Stock Exchange. He bet on a military operation. They bet on the legislation they write.
He did not write the law. They did. They wrote the STOCK Act. Then they funded its enforcement at zero dollars. Then they set its maximum penalty at $200. Then they gave my office the authority to waive it. Then they traded $635 million.
The soldier flew to Caracas. He breached a compound. He put his body between a mission and a bullet. The people who ordered the operation were in a building with a credenza and sparkling water. They did not go to Caracas. They went to their brokerage accounts. The soldier made $409,881 and is now in federal custody. The people who knew what he was going to do before he did it made more and filed less. His prosecution is not a failure of the system. It is the system. One conviction per decade, at the lowest level, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists. The $409,881 is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised.
In my field, we call this self-regulation.
The soldier's Polymarket account has been frozen. His military career is over. He will spend years in federal prison. My office will process every congressional disclosure filed this year. Every trade logged. Every $200 fine calculated and waived. The system is immaculate.
Fourteen years. Zero prosecutions. $635 million a year. A 16,930% return.
I have not leaked a document. I have not filed a complaint. I have not deviated from the process one single time. The process was written by the people whose forms I process.
As long as the disclosures go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations.
My lanyard still says ETHICS. In eleven years, nobody has asked me to define the word.

The President of the United States told me to buy crypto.
I did not ask questions. Questions are for people who do not trust the President.
I sold the truck the same afternoon.
I have sent the phrase "few understand" to 1,400 people since then. Eleven bought in. Seven still speak to me. That is a 64% retention rate. In network marketing, that is elite. I track it on a spreadsheet called "Adoption Metrics." My wife called it something else. She is at her mother's house now. The other four will come back. They always come back. They just need one green candle.
October 2024. The President posted a video. I watched it 11 times. I screen-recorded it. I added a rocket emoji border. I sent it to every group chat I am in. My LinkedIn headline says "WLFI OG | Web3 Patriot | Diamond Hands By Design | NFA." I have 340 connections. 310 are crypto. 20 are bots. The other 10 are my alts. The alts are important for engagement metrics.
My boss asked me to stop discussing WLFI during the team standup. I reported him to HR for suppressing financial literacy. They scheduled a meeting. I presented the tokenomics. They eliminated the standup. That is called winning.
I put $22,000 into WLFI at $0.015. Every dollar the truck was worth.
My wife said "you sold the truck."
I said I was reallocating from a depreciating asset into a generational position. She said the kids need to get to school. I said the bus is free. The bus takes 55 minutes. The truck took 12. That is 43 extra minutes per day my children spend not looking at screens. I am building their financial future and their attention spans at the same time. She did not understand alpha.
My children drew a picture of our truck. With crayons. On the back of a homework sheet. I explained that was a sunk cost and we do not grieve sunk costs in this household.
My mother called and asked if I was in a cult. I sent her the tokenomics. She started crying too. It is a very emotional document.
The price is $0.08. That is a sale. Amazon dropped 90% after the dot-com crash. Bitcoin dropped 80% in 2018 and hit $100,000. Apple was 90 days from bankruptcy. Tesla was the most shorted stock in America. Every asset I have ever compared WLFI to eventually went up.
WLFI has not gone up yet.
That is called being early.
My doctor said my blood pressure is 160 over 100. I told him that is still below the all-time high.
I am an unpaid moderator on the official WLFI Telegram. 200,000 members. I moderate 6 hours a day. I have banned over 11,000 accounts. People who ask "when can we sell" or "is this a rug" or "why does the team hold 73% of the supply." The difference between a question and FUD is whether the person already believes in the answer. I believe in the answer. I protect the answer. That is community.
I have been awake for 41 hours. The Telegram does not moderate itself. I sleep in 90-minute cycles on my cousin's couch. That is how Elon does it. My wife took the bed. And the bedroom. And the house. But the sleep schedule is optimized.
I printed the painting and hung it above the couch. The President in white robes. Halo of gold coins. Laying hands on a sick man while the nation kneels. My cousin asked me to take it down. He said it looks like Jesus. The President himself said he is a doctor in that painting. My cousin pointed at the halo. I said that is decorative. He said the text says "Crypto Jesus." I said that is a term of endearment. He said it is not a photograph. I said it is more accurate than a photograph.
My most important contribution is the counter-FUD spreadsheet. Every negative article. Every critical tweet. Column A is the FUD. Column B is the rebuttal. Column C is whether the rebuttal worked.
Column C is mostly empty.
That means the FUD is institutional. Three separate people have sent me the Wikipedia page for "sunk cost fallacy." I added all three to Column A.
If it were retail FUD, my rebuttals would work. The fact that they do not work proves I am over the target.
The President's family receives 75 cents of every dollar. That is alignment. When the founder takes 75%, the founder cannot walk away. I explained this on a Twitter Space to 14 listeners. Eight were bots. Six were my alts and my brother-in-law, who I made listen while driving. He put in $8,000 at Thanksgiving because I told him it was asymmetric upside. He has not returned a text since January. He blocked me in March.
Paper hands.
Someone in the Telegram called it a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme pays early investors with money from late investors. We cannot sell. Nobody gets paid. That is the opposite of a Ponzi scheme. That is better.
Justin Sun invested $75 million and got his tokens frozen. Filed a 52-page lawsuit. $276 million in claimed damages. Called the freeze function "a trap masquerading as a door."
Bullish.
If the compliance system did not work, they could not have frozen a billionaire. The freeze proves the technology is functional. Sun is FUD.
The co-founder of World Liberty Financial previously ran a company called Date Hotter Girls LLC.
People bring this up like it matters. He identified an underserved market and built a product. That is the entrepreneurial mindset. You find people who want something they cannot get through normal channels and you give them a way in. First it was lonely men. Now it is the global economy. The pipeline is consistent.
Barron Trump is the project's DeFi Visionary. He is 19. Vitalik Buterin published the Ethereum whitepaper at 19. I have posted this comparison 6 times. Barron has not published a whitepaper. He does not need to. His father is the President of the United States. Vitalik's father was a computer scientist. Barron's father can pardon people.
That is a better use case than smart contracts.
Abu Dhabi bought 49% of the project for $500 million. A sovereign wealth fund. Sovereign wealth funds employ hundreds of analysts. When my brother-in-law said the numbers do not add up, I asked him: are you smarter than Abu Dhabi?
He stopped answering my texts.
I take that as a no.
My therapist suggested I diversify my identity beyond crypto. I diversified into two additional WLFI Telegram groups. One is in Portuguese. I do not speak Portuguese. Conviction is multilingual.
A crypto risk firm gave WLFI a D rating. D. These are the same agencies that rated Lehman Brothers investment-grade until the morning it collapsed. I do not trust rating agencies. I trust the President.
The DeFi platform has not launched. It was announced 2 years ago. People call this "vaporware." The pyramids took 20 years. I said this in the Telegram. Someone replied "the pyramids were built by slaves." I banned him. That was off-topic.
My credit score dropped 140 points. That is the legacy financial system punishing innovation. When WLFI launches a credit product, I will be first in line. They have not announced a credit product. I can wait.
I voted yes on the governance proposal that lets the team unlock their tokens. The team holds 73%. Investors hold 27%. The team voted to unlock the team. When the majority decides, the majority decides. I was in the 27% that paid. I voted with the 73% that did not. That is conviction.
I made 3 YouTube videos explaining why the $75 million Dolomite loan is treasury management. Total views: 340. Twenty-two are mine. The comments say "cope." Cope is not a rebuttal. Cope is what people say when they do not have a counterargument and they know it. If I were wrong, they would explain why. They cannot. They write "cope" at 2 AM.
That is fear.
My last remaining friend asked if I was okay. I sent him the whitepaper. He has not responded in 9 days. I count that as a pending conversion.
My wife took the children to her mother's house on March 14th. She said I put their education fund into WLFI. I did. I put it where the President told me to put it. Locked tokens cannot be lost. You cannot lose what you cannot sell. That is security. Savings accounts earn 4%. WLFI has a 4-year lockup. The education fund was sitting there doing nothing. Now it is vesting.
I explained this at the kitchen table. She started crying. I told her to zoom out.
She took the children.
That was an overreaction to an unrealized loss.
Her lawyer sent a letter. I forwarded it to the Telegram as evidence of coordinated FUD.
I set my phone background to the painting. The President in the robes. The coins. The healing. My 7-year-old saw it and asked why the President is dressed like Jesus. I said he is dressed like a doctor. She said doctors do not wear robes. I said some doctors do. She asked if we could go to McDonald's. I said we are long on delayed gratification.
She will bring them back when it unlocks. Everyone comes back when it unlocks. The brother-in-law. The man from church. The 7 who still speak to me and the 4 who stopped. They will all come back.
There is a man at my church. I told him about the project in January 2025. He put in his emergency fund. $3,200. Every dollar. His son is about 9. He stopped sitting near me at the 9 AM service. When I see him in the parking lot he looks at the ground.
He is not angry. He is embarrassed he did not buy more. When this unlocks and his $3,200 becomes $32,000, he will sit next to me again. He will shake my hand. He will say thank you.
I have rehearsed this.
If I were wrong, I would feel wrong. I do not feel wrong. I feel early. That is peer-reviewed enough for me.
DYOR means "do your own research." I have a custom keyboard shortcut that types it in one keystroke. I use it 30 times a day. My research was the President's video. I watched it. I believed it. I acted. That is research. Everything after that is FUD.
Three of my recruits have threatened to sue me. Personally. For recommending a project that the President of the United States put his name on. They signed the accredited investor checkbox. I told them it was "just a formality."
I have not paid rent in two months. My landlord does not understand lockup periods. I offered him tokens. He said he only accepts U.S. dollars. The irony is completely lost on him.
I am not the President. I am not his sons. I am a moderator. With a spreadsheet. And a bus pass.
I own 1,466,667 tokens. They were worth $674,667 at the peak. They are worth zero right now because I cannot sell them. I report the peak. That is not dishonesty. That is forward guidance.
My mother asked what the tokens are worth today. I said that is the wrong question. She asked what the right question is. I said "when." She hung up. She is not ready.
I also owned property in Decentraland. Two parcels. One next to a virtual nightclub that closed.
But that was different. That was not backed by the President.
This is backed by the President.
Few understand.
Next week I am starting a new DM campaign. 2,000 accounts. I have updated the spreadsheet. I have a new column. Column D.
Column D is called "Conviction Score."
I fill it in myself.
I am not early.
I am right.
That is the same thing except one of them requires evidence.

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue.
On April 21st, the left screen moved first.
I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug.
At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy.
On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me.
At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire.
Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83.
I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags.
My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports.
The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026:
Reviewed.
That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one.
Let me show you my flags.
March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it.
March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it.
April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it.
April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it.
April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it.
That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one.
The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March.
Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012.
Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence.
Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets.
The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade.
I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email.
The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action.
One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared.
One account is a coincidence. But there were six.
Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000.
My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger.
March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes.
The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event.

I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative."
