CNN ^ | ~December 5, 2023 | Matt Egan

Bets against the value of Israeli companies spiked in the days before the October 7th Hamas attacks, suggesting some traders may have had advance knowledge of the looming terror attack and profited off it, according to new research released Monday.

The preliminary research, which hasn’t been peer reviewed, is from law professors at Columbia University and New York University and details a “significant” and “unusual” spike five days before the attacks in short selling in the most popular fund linked to Israeli companies. Short selling is a way to bet against the value of a security.

The traders should fly to Israel and march straight into Mossad offices and clear up this unfortunate suspicion.

The suspicion is unfortunate. Coincidences happen all the time. Some people are just lucky.

Not a coincidence.

Terrorists and others in the know have made millions in advance of 9/11, London and other terrorist attacks.

Why can’t they trace who did these trades?

Turn in your keyboard sir.

https://9-11commission.gov/staff_statements/911_TerrFin_Ch1.pdf

“Exhaustive investigation by U.S. government agencies and the securities industry has revealed no evidence that any person with advance knowledge of the 9/11 attacks profited from them through securities transactions.”

I believe in coincidence but intelligence should be doing everything it can to investigate those trades and identify the traders.

This could be a fatal slip-up for greedy masterminds and allies of the terrorists.

“Unknown”???

That’s BS... Traders are known... You can number it, try to hide it, do whatever you like... They know where the money goes.

Calm down from what, making a humorous joke?

Your “humorous” joke doesn’t work because the point it’s trying to make is based on false info.

BTW Tell me what a non-humorous joke is.

The joke worked whether the report was accurate or not.

What is up with you and this hostile reaction?

No, in either case, it doesn’t.

If someone disagrees with you, you feel hostility. Got it.

You came out of the chute making strangely hostile posts to me for a light-hearted joke on a thread you weren’t on.

It seems to be tied to something you are carrying from another thread where the mods were pulling some of your hostile posts to me.

There was a lawyer on our floor who had the loudest laugh. It was so loud you could hear him 60 feet away. This was in an office environment where people are supposed to be working. Distracting, but because he was a high powered (and highly paid) attorney, he could get away with it.

I was so disappointed when I found out he had no sense of humor, it was all nervous laughter. He had a non-humorous sense of humor. He had non-humorous jokes that were funny only to him. What a let down!
