Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), bought Amazon call options just six weeks before the Pentagon announced it was canceling a multi-billion dollar contract with Microsoft and starting a new one that opened a door for Amazon’s participation.

The Biden Pentagon on Tuesday abruptly announced it was canceling its multi-billion JEDI cloud services contract with Microsoft and starting a new one that Amazon could compete for.

Amazon had been favored to win the JEDI contract after the idea for a single cloud infrastructure was first conceived in 2017, but it was ultimately awarded to Microsoft in 2019. Amazon sued, arguing they lost due to then-President Donald Trump’s personal dislike of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. A Pentagon inspector general report found that Trump did not interfere in the contract.

There’s no evidence of corruption but they’ll use cries of corruption to change the way big fed money is spent. That’s corruption.

Amazon stock price increased 15% between May 21 and today.

I do not have access to historical option prices. Also, I do not know the expiration date or strike price of the Amazon options that were purchased.

In any event, it is possible to score very large profits in the options market - like 5X or higher.

And, it is also possible to lose your entire investment.

Most option traders are professionals or experienced day traders.

His wife is immune from prosecutable offenses regarding insider trader, but couldn't he be liable?

(Crickets chirping.) What a corrupt criminal enterprise. And, I'm talking about Congress.

If he gets investigated all he has to do is say he’s related to the Biden family goes free.
