At this point, I would rather these people enrich themselves as long as they stop the war, but I am afraid they will continue doing both.

That's the neat part, they get richer whether the war is happening or not. Some get way richer when there's a war on.

Some highlights include a $580 million dollar bet on oil futures 15 minutes before Trump made the announcement of talks with Iran, which the Iranian government denied actually happened.

Naturally, political appointments at the SEC are preventing investigation.
