Financial firm bet on Trump assassination attempt

A company called Austin Private Wealth LLC shorted 12,000,000 shares of $DJT via a put option.

The filing date is July 12th, the day before the assassination attempt.

They have around $1 Billion in assets under management and this is by far the largest put placed.

According to a source the trade represents 6% of total shares and over 16%! of the float of the stock given the fact that Trump owns 60% of the company.

Shorts against the Truth Social stock more than doubled from July 1 -July 12, meaning, people or large organizations were predicting that by Monday the stock would plummet, something that undoubtedly would have occurred had President Trump died in Pennsylvania.

This company needs a close look. If the Trump assassination attempt had been successful, (God forbid) they stood to make a fortune.

This is being swept under the rug but we aren’t going to let this slide .. not anymore we are the News

Same thing happened in 9/11. I'm a huge believer that everything like this is planned and many people are in the know, it's how the rich keep quiet about dodgy things, they earn a lot of money off of it

They tried to take out Trump and capitalize on it too. Sometimes I think a national divorce or straight up CW, would be best for the country.
