How do you even make a bet like that? It’s not that I’m (exclusively) astounded - I would have taken those odds if I’d known how.

And the Malaysians. I believe he’s formally under a death sentence there, or something.

It makes sense. 0bama helps his closest friend by pushing idiocy. Soros makes a ton of money, of which a part funnels back to 0bama’s re-election campaign.
Investigate!

This needs to be investigated... I don’t think that Holder is going to do crap about it.

Did anyone big make the opposite bet?
To: OldNewYork
Since he did it in the futures market it probably means he was shorting, lots and lots of contracts.

Thanks for the clarification. If that’s how it was done, I wonder how they would have known all those different contracts were from one person, especially if he placed them with different brokers.
To: gleeaikin
yeah - who is on the losing end? Who pays $10 billion?
To: KevinDavis
there is no place to make such a bet
To: KevinDavis
He will pour about $1 billion into pro-Obama “educational” organizations before the campaign. Reward Obama for doing so well.

Doesn’t matter which broker you use. They can see the number of contracts bids/sells that come into the market. I trade emini russell futures and can see the volume. I can see when a big buyer/seller comes in.
