Basically, massive insider trading is happening. Somebody (likely members of Trump's family) is making huge trades just minutes before announcements from Trump that change market conditions. And they're making millions.
Here's some quotes from the video
Poly Market trading on Maduro being ousted
The BBC and the Guardian have revealed that Poly Market users are making some very fishy trades. Uh, here's one example. Let's take a look. Burdensome Mix set up an account on Poly Market in December last year. And between the 30th of December and the 2nd of January, this account placed $32,000 on Nicholas Maduro, the Venezuelan president, being ousted.
The next day he was seized by US special forces and the account made nearly half a million dollars. Then it changed its name and hasn't placed a bet since.
Day before Iran attack, spike of Poly Market bets that US would attack Iran
For instance, on the night of February 27th, the day before the US and Israel would carry out strikes on Iran, an unusual influx of about 150 accounts on Poly Market place bets that the US would strike Iran the next day. And so these are the same people, Anna, that pretended to be in favor of the stock Act and banning insider trading in Congress and now the administration is doing it on a nuclear level.
Trading on Trump's statement "Good and productive talks with Iran"
The first one I found and one of the most prominent ones is on the 23rd of March. Trump had spent the weekend preceding that threatening Iran's power plants much like he is now. But then suddenly on the Monday morning before the stock market opened in the US, he said that the United States had had very "good and productive conversations with Tehran". You go back though and look at the trading volume data and you see a massive spike in the number of oil futures contracts exchanged between about 14 to 16 minutes before the post.
I think Trump is scammy and a liar.
But, I'm not particularly in favor of these "insider trader laws". How else should new information propagate itself to markets?
Information is asymmetrical and there will always be those who have more than you....caveat emptor
By releasing the information without putting bets on it to enrich yourself?
Nancy Pelosi has made hundreds of millions from insider trading. OP has missed the most obvious and shameless example
Where does the line get drawn? You are friends with someone who works at BigCorp XYZ.
He tells you they are collapsing and new massive lawsuit is pending....you dump. Should you go to jail?
I think that the moment that you are being entrusted with insider information that you're an insider, yes.
I don't know if this should be a law, or if someone should go to jail, but noting that it may be a safer option to go to jail than being lynched by your victims.
Everyone knows and yet it continues.
Trump is on some kind of suicide mission. He either ends up in jail, de-throwned or assassinated.
Don Felion is making a strong case for greatest conman in American history.
Also here's the BBC article on it - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cge0grppe3po
Lots of details. Apparently either Trump or people in his circle heavily traded on tariff announcements as well. It was the same type of issue - minutes before Trump's announcement, heavy bets were placed on the market going up.
