A Texas-based wealth management firm has apologised for a clerical error that gave the appearance it took a massive short position on shares in Donald Trump’s social media company just before Saturday’s assassination attempt.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing by Austin Private Wealth dated July 12 showed the firm had shorted 12 million shares in Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) via a put option, sparking frenzied conspiracy theories after the unusual trade was highlighted by a number of social media users.

“Then, after he survived, they said oops, that was a clerical error and we would like our stock back”
They never wanted their shares back because they never sold them. The error was made in a 13-F filing not in an erroneous sell order.
If someone shorted 12,000,000 shares of Trump stock that information would have been visible in the markets.
no. We will never learn the truth about JFK
look, I trust these people as far as I can throw them, which is not very far.
I recall hearing about it around the time of the shooting.
Didn’t Thomas Crooks work for, take some classes at or some such thing at the investment firm “Black Rock”?
No, they wanted to make money over the assassination and guess what? It failed. Now they’re trying to avoid the consequences.
I vividly remember the reports of this at the time.
The "clerical error" explanation was transparently false. Even more significant is that they were able to back out of this transaction after the assassination attempt failed.
You want to try backing out of a short-sale position when it goes bad? That is not going to happen. You are not a member of the club.
I concluded that they had advance knowledge of the attempt and were part of a coordinated effort by a very powerful group. That assessment still looks "highly probable" to me.
This was not an error. And he did not sell shares. The guy bought 120,000 PUTs. They were likely a dollar a piece. The down side was small. But the up side was huge. Back then I think DJT was around $30. Now its around 18. If that had happened when he owned the PUTs he would have been up 120,000 x 100 x 12. So somewhere around 144 million minus the 120,000 he paid. People who were active in the stock would have noticed. Its a hard to barrow stock. So it would have moved the market down. Don’t know when the guy got out. But the stock went up afterwards. So I think he lost most of his 120,000.
And, wasn’t it the only rally that CNN decided to broadcast?
Liars, someone there was in on it. I can NOT believe there have been no prosecutions over all of that. Someone or some group in the government planned that whole thing and needs to die for doing so.

you think the same people that bought these puts were the ones that bought puts & shorted the airlines & insurance stocks on 9ll?
Why did George HW Bush, approximately 90 minutes after JFK was assassinated, call home to let his family know he was in Tyler, Texas.
After all, Tyler, Texas is just under 90 minutes from Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas. What was HW up to? What was Austin Capital up to?
Same thing happened with all airline companies before 9/11. and of course no known sanctions.
I asked Chabot about 9-11 trading:
“Yes, it is known that large quantities of put options (a bet on a stock’s price to fall) were purchased for American Airlines and United Airlines stock in the days leading up to the September 11 attacks, resulting in profits for the undisclosed investors, although federal investigators found no evidence that this trading was done by the terrorists themselves”
I think people do that all the time. But I would look long and hard if someone did it just one time. Or did it bigger than they normally do.
Normally the guys doing something that causes a down turn are not the guys buying the PUTs. The guys buying the PUTs are guys who hear a story. And they buy the PUTs as a lottery ticket. 120,000 means little to these people. But $100 million is a very nice day at the office.
Crooks appeared in a 2022 BlackRock ad. There's some Ukraine connection woven through this as well.
The WTC had been recently purchased and heavily insured as well.

so, the plot was out there including the MSM that assigned on site coverage of the rally, including a prize winning photographer
The article at your link presents an explanation that is somewhat plausible. Their story:
the “real” option transaction was for 12 “contracts” (one contract is for a block of 100 shares) or 1200 shares in total. Software used by a vendor incorrectly multiplied by 10,000 ALL the transactions listed in the report sent to the SEC. No one sold puts for 12,000,000 shares of Truth Social, and no client of Austin Private Wealth ever had that many to sell. A list of varied put transaction is shown.
Hmm. It’s not unusual for financial reports to list large numbers in thousands. But 10,000? The list of puts supposedly given to the SEC includes a lot of transactions in share quantities far below 10,000. Some are in 4 digits, like “1361”. So we are asked to believe that someone sold 0.1361 shares times the 10,000 error = 1361 on the report. Yet puts are sold by the contract block of 100, not some tiny fraction of a share. There might be a real explanation to be made, but the one at the link has some problems.
and they tried to kill him too
