Here's the relevant data from fintel.io, showing the astonishingly huge short position ("put") filed on July 12th by Austin Private Wealth, LLC against Trump Media & Technology Group, Corp, for an astonishing 12,000,000 shares. This would have generated a windfall of profits if Trump had been shot and killed a day later. You can look this up yourself:
Austin Private Wealth with CONNECTIONS to the Bush family shorted 12M shares of $DJT via a put option on July 12, just ONE DAY before the assassination attempt.
Did the Bush's know something was going to happen to Donald Trump?
This massive trade represents 6% of total shares and over 16% of the float, given Trump’s 60% ownership.
Their $1B AUM makes this a significant bet.
Austin Private Wealth is connected to the Bush family through James A. Baker III, a Senior Policy Director with longstanding ties to the Bushes, having served as Secretary of State under George H.W. Bush and in various roles under Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.
I don't disbelieve it
"File Date" does not mean "Order Date." According to that quarterly filing ending 6/30, they acquired that position as early as 4/1 (ie months earlier), and they have a bunch of other puts, some larger.[1]
