Unusual short on Trump Media: did they know in advance about the assassination attempt on Trump?

Unusual short options activity on Trump Media stock the day before the assassination attempt on the former president raises serious questions.

Is it possible that certain parties knew in advance about the assassination plot against Trump and tried to profit from his assassination?

The following information will leave you speechless:

Did an investment firm plan to profit from Trump's assassination, and did it know about the assassination plot days earlier?

We discovered that on July 12, the day before the assassination attempt on Trump by an assailant, short options on $DJT stock skyrocketed!

Total short positions on Friday (the day before the assassination attempt) on Trump Media stock amounted to over $168 million!

Short borrow fees reached a peak of 150%!

The question arises: 1) Did someone know in advance that Trump was going to be assassinated on Saturday?

2) Who opened a massive short position on Trump's stock just before the assassination attempt?

Pay attention to this:

A company named Austin Private Wealth shorted 12,000,000 shares of Trump Media stock ($DJT) using put options.

The reporting date is July 12, just one day before the assassination attempt on Trump.

The company has about $1 billion in assets under management, and this is the largest short position it has ever taken.

This trade represents 6% of the total shares and over 16% of the stock's float, this is a huge bet.

Another fact that raises questions: the number of short positions against Trump's stock doubled between July 1 and July 12, rising from 7 million shares shorted to 15 million shares shorted.

This is the record amount of shorting ever done on the stock since its IPO.

The massive surge in the number of shorts on the stock indicates one thing:

Certain parties expected a significant drop in the stock by July 15, a scenario that would likely have materialized if Trump had ultimately been assassinated by the assailant in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

This is a massive bet of 12,000,000 shares that Trump Media ($DJT) would inexplicably collapse by July 15.

Did certain parties know in advance about the assassination attempt on Trump and bet accordingly?

The FBI has a lot to investigate, we will continue to update on developments.
