Treason in the Futures Markets

However as the article notes the time and size of this particular series of trades makes it look suspicious and that’s all one can say with certainty at this point.

Even if they found the culprits, what's a judge's verdict against a presidential pardon?

How's this a coincidence?

Trump has boasted about this, that's the point we're in.[0]

They're announcing in a newsletter a fund raising where they will share national secrets with donors.[1]

This is literally people paying to get access to privileged information, in a fund raising for what?

Like it's openly being said that if you pay enough money, you will make a lot of money, this is unprecedented.

Trying to normalize it by saying "it's not corruption because it's done out in the open", or to bend reality to make an excuse for this, like it's a coincidence... it's insanity.

This could very well be the end, if the game is rigged at this level - and people trying to get as much out as possible while it lasts, while acting like no one understands what's going on, it's one of the scariest things I've witnessed. It's like we're falling off a cliff and people are shoving money in their pockets while saying "we're not falling, it's just the wind".

There's a reason we have banned and prosecuted any hint of insider trading or match fixing for centuries. Yet we play dumb on way more serious risks, allowing betting on whether a country will attack another and labeling it "information hedging and price discovery".

I can't but look at the modern world with worry. We live in increasingly Orwellian and dystopic times. The world has never been so rich and evolved, yet, as a society, we're increasingly unhappy, alone and void of purposes that aren't greed and selfishness related.

We're looking at the decadence of a civilization and all we can do, at best, is post about it over the internet, and that's when we're in the aware crowd not falling for bitter insulting and fighting because somebody else holds different ideas.

I would really want to know what can we do, as average Joes, when the most powerful people in the world fall in line and are terrorized to speak their mind. And that's when they're not actively contributing to the very same decadence.

This is bad logic. A presidential pardon at least exposes the corruption, and exposing the corruption is more important than a prison sentence.
