"No one will ever know who made the really big money off this situation"
"Wanna bet?
No one trades billions of dollars worth of anything without a paper trail.
Eventually we'll find a way to access those documents, maybe not "legally", but we'll find a way."
I agree. We already know... just like we knew who profited from shorting the insurance companies before 9-11.
My guess is someone has already designed a program that can predict large scale terrorist attacks based on short selling.
The Olympic announcement was the trigger. I have a feeling a terrorist attack would have taken place within 48 hours
in whatever city in what ever country, the Olympics were awarded to.
I noticed that this attack, like 9/11 also occurred after a major tennis tournament. The moon was also in the crescent phase this time.
