Suspicious Financial Activity Linked to Trump Assassination Attempt

In the days leading up to the attempted assassination, there was a significant increase in short positions on Trump Media stock. The surge in short positions indicates that some individuals or organizations anticipated the turmoil and sought to profit from it.

Among those implicated is Austin Private Wealth LLC, which reportedly shorted 12 million shares of $DJT on July 12, 2024, just one day before the attempt on Trump’s life. Other prominent financial entities such as Millenium, Wolverine Trading, Goldman, Citadel Advisors, Susquehanna, Bank of America, and Hudson Bay also shorted or bought put options in $DJT stock in the weeks and months leading up to the incident.

Michael O’Brien of Stainless Inc. and various political figures, including Jared Golden, Katie Porter, Angie Craig, Matt Cartwright, Dusty Johnson, Seth Magaziner, Brian Fitzpatrick, Abigail Davis, Dean Phillips, and Seth Moulton, have been mentioned in this context. These individuals are allegedly involved in insider trading activities related to the assassination attempt. Michael McCall, renowned for his insider trading in Congress, is also being investigated for his financial dealings.

Devin Nunes, CEO of Trump Media, has addressed letters to Congress and the Nasdaq Exchange, calling for investigations into suspected illegal short-selling activities by several financial firms, including Apex Clearing, Clear Street, Cobra Trading, Cowen and Company, Curvature Securities, StoneX Securities, TradePro, and Velocity Clearing. The company alleges that these entities might be engaging in “naked” short selling, which involves selling shares not borrowed, an illegal practice.

On July 12, 2024, Austin Private Wealth took a substantial short position against Trump Media & Technology Group’s stock. The move, representing the largest short position the firm had ever taken, was conspicuous not only for its size but also for its timing, just a day before the assassination attempt. The short position amounted to six percent of the total shares and over 16 percent of the stock’s float, making it highly suspect.

The implications of these financial maneuvers extend beyond individual actors. Those within various government agencies want to keep Trump from political office. The incentive for such drastic actions is clear, and with Trump receiving security briefings now, he could go on the offense and identify those responsible for the assassination attempt.

Legacy media’s failure to report on these suspicious financial activities and their possible connection to the assassination attempt raises serious concerns. Then again, they are a part of the Deep State, too.
