Only 15 minutes before President Trump decided not to strike Iranian power plants on March 23, a few traders sank billions of dollars into predicting that the S&P 500 would go up and oil prices would fall, making a hefty profit, Bloomberg reports. The traders reportedly used a two-minute window at 6:49 a.m. that day to make the massive deals in futures markets.
I hope we can spend the next decade finding every last one of these garbage people and hold them accountable. We need to have some real accountability to make people think twice about this profiteering in the future.
