FTX was the second largest donor to biden and DNC

Someone say protestors are TSLA owners 

@wallstreetcappers

 Gatekeeper for the left, lol.....Covers, safe space :)   Knock!  Not arguing just saying, look at what the support in canada?? Loss freedom and don't even know it!!! The gatekeeper spoke :)

@wallstreetcappers

 These people trust media and government!!!!  Media and government said this and said that,  Right!! Gatekeeper of the safe space :)   Knock!

Huge jump at the start -- then a big drop after introduction -- then a big drop once he started talking 

Nice run right back up now that he is done. 

Very nice day!    

About as predictable as you can get. Just have to anticipate and plan it out.   Up -- down -- back up! 

@Raiders22

 Got to love when the Options board gets frozen. Wild times ahead. Up 400% on puts and couldn't see the prices! 

SPY was steady ~430.  Up to 432.  Down to 427.  Up to 432 again.

Be nice if he could talk everyday. Locked in for an afternoon run up -- just in case. 

@BigGame90

Amazingly good day.  I had the calls early and the puts right as they had the protest or whatever before he started -- then the calls as he started in about the bond rates.  Then added calls when he switched to commercial real estate.  Now will let some run for the rest of the day with stops locked in.

Very good day! 

Locked in some Spy 431P when it shot up to 432. Couldn't see the damn values as it was crashing! Unreal. Called broker and was informed the options board is frozen across all brokers. Did someone break the market? Interesting times ahead. 

@BigGame90

 Nice day!  Looking forward to the roller coaster ahead. 

Is this when shit starts to hit the fan? 

SBF takes the stand tomorrow....here comes the fireworks. 

GUILTY....On all counts.  

The crazy thing about the Sam Bankman-Fried conviction is that he's going to get a longer prison sentence than Trump, and he didn't even try to overthrow the government.

@BigGame90

 Next hour or so is going to be interesting.  Maybe some volatility 

SPY 435.7 to 436.5 just like that 

And back down to 435.8 and now going back up 

@Raiders22

 Ya, it's interesting times for sure. I've stopped the 0dte the last few weeks. Time to sit back and grab the pop corn.

Same dip happened at close yesterday. Wouldn't be surprised to see another 1-2x in the last 30 min today.   

@BigGame90

 Yes today the Bond news and one of the FED guys talking is driving the volatility. 

SPY 437 now 

Just watch it rip for the next 1.5 hours then small flash crash at 12:40-12:45. Same BS as yesterday would be my guess. Mighty Ducks would be impressed with all the V's

Can't let the market crash, gotta pump it up so MSM can say how well the economy is doing. Meanwhile, most people with common sense can see what's really going on. 

Back to the FTX topic, has the big guy paid back the ill gotten gains yet? 

This case flew pretty quickly. Probably didn't want too much important info and names getting out.  

News dropped on Friday, December 29th in the late afternoon/evening that no charges for possible illegal political campaign donations will be brought against SBF and FTX citing several dropped charges have already been presented during the original trial.

Now, why would this "news" come out Friday evening before NYE? Who needs these names hidden from the public that they have to not bring new charges that would have disclosed all political parties that may have received illegal campaign donations? I'm sure FTX's clients that lost their savings would like to know how and to whome spent their money.

Has Biden returned the ~5 million in "donations" to FTX's clients from his ill gotten gains?

Bloomberg has a decent video out about the collapse of FTX if anyone is interested. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2023-ruin-ftx-documentary/

SBF gets 25 years....has Biden paid back his ill gotten gains yet? 

@BigGame90

 BigGame, most likely will be crickets in your thread.

Bankman-Fried [FTX] had face-to-face meetings with SEC Chair Gary Gensler. You can buy a lot of “I ain’t done seen nothin’” with $100+ million in bribes. But when you run out of bribery money, you go to jail. "You're only as good as your last envelope." - Tony Soprano
