she was able, in her first venture into commodities trading, to buy EXACTLY at the bottom and sell EXACTLY at the top - ten times in a row, and turn $10,000 into $100,000. Not exactly. She put in one thousand dollars (and came out with something like $98,000). In a gaming table sense, the odds-against are simple to compute: if you made a roulette wheel with 100 slots where the ball could fall, and 100 people each put $1000 on a number, I - as one of the 100 - have 99 chances of of losing, and only 1 chance of winning. Somebody has to win, its true - but any individual player has only one chance in a hundred of being that winner.
Tells in Hillarys and Red Bones scheme include
- the testimony that Hillary had announced that she needed $100,000 before the game started,
- Hillary was allowed in the game with an inadequate stake,
- Relatedly, Hillary didnt get a margin call when the rules specified that she should.
- Hillary suddenly stopped after making such a huge killing. If she had been able to do it again, she would have come out with $10 million. Why didnt she? She says, because of her maternity issues. But she never went back to the well afterward, at any time. Why didnt she do it when she left the WH dead broke?
Something the pros couldnt do, then or now.Well, actually anyone could do it - if they never had to cover a margin call. Just keep on betting more and more of other peoples money until your luck turns . . .

My understanding is that she did this using a technique called "straddling". She found some anonymous benefactor to give her the $100K. The commodity trading was just a laundering mechanism. They found a stock broker that would buy futures contracts, both short and long, but not assign them to an account. When they came due one would be a "winner" and the other a "loser". The "winners" were then attributed to Hillary, and the "losers" to her anonymous donor.
When investigators tried to subpoena those records from her stock broker, they had conveniently been destroyed.

Tyson's ate the losing contracts.

Any will do. There is always a scandal where there are Clintons.

A respected Wall Street analyst who has been investigating the Clinton Foundations finances alleges the Big Four accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers was a willing participant in a scheme by the Clintons and their associates to become personally enriched by the foundation, a crime known as inurement. This is the newest one... inurement...

This is another scandal the Clintons will get away with because they are above the law.

Nixon was a piker compared to the Clintons.
