I just find this unbelievable, and like I say, I don’t remember ever hearing about this.
I heard about it then and wasn’t surprised at all. Also, I wasn’t surprised it wasn’t a bigger deal then. Half of the country seems to be just fine with collusion and death and murder.
I remember hearing it, but thought it was just a rumor, since I never saw any follow-up. Thanks for posting.
Hard to believe this kind of thing could be done in error.
Even harder to believe the Bush-Cheney gang didn’t want to get rid of Trump.
I don’t either. But co-managing director/founder looks like a Frenchie globalist type: https://austinprivatewealth.com/our-story/team
Everyone involved in the Trump assassination attempt, and the other Trump assassination attempts, should be brought to justice.
Same with all those who had any knowledge before the fact.
“Error’, my arse.
They were somehow tipped off in advance.
Needs to be fully investigated, and one just might find a solid tie back to some of our communist “friends”.
Did they actually sell the shares; or simply fill out a form wrong?

There are probably more.
“ The correct holding amount was 12 contracts, or 1200 shares — not 12 million shares”
Ok so they sold 1,200 shares not 12 million.
And when the trade was reported extra 0’s were added.
Shows the depth and width of the conspiracy to assassinate Trump and even to make quick money should Trump die.
Wow, they must be having rico nightmares
Or tribunal ones.
😁 Good.
12 million shares filed in error? Seriously?
“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.
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.
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.
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.
