Ever since America voted for Trump, soros must be takin’ it in the shorts. He is probably suffering the mutha of all short squeezes. #TraderTalk

Selling stocks, particularly if you own those shares, isn’t illegal.

Insider trading, including selling shares that you own, is illegal.

Here’s a link to a canada free press article discussing a sting gone bad scenatio:

Selling stocks, particularly if you own those shares, isn’t illegal.

Unless you are selling with insider information, then it could be a felony.

[Daffynition]

But *insider trading* most often, is.

Maybe you’ve heard of that term?

[Daffynition]

Money laundering was my first thought, too.

Nothing to see here folks .... just moving a little money around.

[Daffynition]

From the get-go, I said, that the government will *tell* you what they want you to know about Vegas.

Take comfort in your deep state, sagar. Sleep well.

[Daffynition]

Thanks for the link thinden.

**We don’t have all of the pieces of the puzzle and, if something like this did happen, there will be great resistance to knowing and understanding the facts. But the involvement of the FBI and other federal agencies in the ongoing “investigation” means that they will take command and control and be in a position to engineer a cover-up regarding any ties Paddock may have had with them. This is how the Swamp works.**

Sad, that we can't trust our government, any more. Cabbages and kings.

I’ve argued since the first moments of the Vegas mass murder event that the killer had help…that someone funded, coordinated and planned the attack…and that it had all the hallmarks of a ISIS attack.

The killer visited the Middle East. His girlfriend visited the Middle East. He wired $100,000 to his girlfriend in the Phillipines only days before the massacre. He had many major financial transactions that are now under investigation for “covert terrorism financing.”

So which is is? Did a millionaire who gambled $10,000 per day and took dozens of cruises per year need funding for the attack, or was he funding other terrorist activities?

Can't have it both ways.

[Daffynition]

Why not have it both ways?

[Yo-Yo]

Why not have it both ways?

If he needed funding to carry out the Vegas attack, then how can he afford to fund other terrorism?

If he can afford to fund other terrorism, then why would he need funding to carry out the Vegas attack?

But - add a Whitewater angle to it...like the article says, even long-shot coincidences can happen but some bear looking into.

Don't really know what to make of the article but anything is possible and folks will be putting out lots of conspiracy theories which will probably end up burying the actual conspiracies...

What if Paddock did finance terrorist groups and found out he had a terminal disease. His final act for the jihad?

[Daffynition]

[KTM rider]

it would be naive to think that clndestine arms trading does not happen and that the money could be laundered through casino "winnings".

one of the things that allows it to happen is peoples cognitive bias wanting to believe their government would never allow such a thing and that everything weird that happens could not nave nefarious sources and anyone who believes it could is crazy, so the "youre a nut" is perfect cover for weapons tranfers to influence world political powers

That's a fine theory. But he still wouldn't have needed funding to help carry out his Vegas attack, which was my point.

Soros funds have $42 million in puts for MGM, among hundreds of millions of dollars worth of other puts. The likely few percentage point drop in value might make one or two million dollars. That’s peanuts for Soros funds considering the risk and hassle of a shooting like this.

However, for someone not worth $20 billion, it might certainly be worth the trouble, so it’s good these trades are being looked at.

“Cui Bono” theory makes sense...
