Twenty minutes before Donald Trump announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, someone placed a bet of 760 million dollars that the price of oil would fall.
They made huge profits in a matter of minutes. But what is relevant is not just how much they earned, but when they acted.
Everything points to someone knowing what was going to be announced. And this should be thoroughly investigated. Trump's circle is cashing in. #IranRejectsSecondRoundTalks #TRUMP
Yes, there are active suspicions and ongoing investigations (as of April 2026) regarding possible market manipulation by Donald Trump and his circle, based on the timing of his announcements coinciding with massive financial movements [1, 2] . Below are the key points of the current suspicions: ## 1. Suspicious operations before announcements (Iran Case)
* Oil: In March 2026, bets of about $580 million in oil futures were detected just 15 minutes before Trump posted on Truth Social that the attacks on Iran would stop [3, 4] . * Quick profits: These unknown investors would have made tens of millions of dollars in instant profits when crude prices fell after the presidential announcement [4, 5] .
## 2. The "buy the dip" pattern (Tariffs 2025)
* Public statements: In April 2025, Trump posted in uppercase: "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!" [6, 7] . * Policy turn: Hours later, he announced a 90-day pause on tariffs, causing the Dow Jones to rise nearly 3,000 points in a single day [7, 8] . * Conflict of interest: His critics point out that the initials he used at the end of the post ("DJT") match the ticker symbol of his company, Trump Media & Technology Group, whose stock rose 22% after the announcement [6, 9] .
## 3. Ongoing investigations
* CFTC and SEC: U.S. derivatives regulators (CFTC) are examining records from the CME and ICE exchanges to identify the beneficiaries of the March 2026 oil trades [10, 11] . * Legislative pressure: Democratic senators have formally requested the [SEC](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/trump-tariffs-democrats-sec-stock-market-manipulation.html) and the Office of Government Ethics to investigate whether there was insider trading by administration officials or Trump family members [12, 13] .
Elon Musk demands the removal of Sam Altman from OpenAI and claims USD 134,000 million The entrepreneur is suing the company's leaders and requesting a hefty sum after alleging that the organization has abandoned its altruistic mission and transformed its structure for private profit.
Musk claims nearly USD 134,000 million in damages for profits he believes were unlawfully obtained by OpenAI and its investor Microsoft. (Reuters) Elon Musk seeks to remove Sam Altman from the leadership of OpenAI and has intensified his lawsuit in a federal court in California after alleging that he was persuaded to donate USD 38 million to the company with the promise that it would maintain its non-profit character. Musk alleges that this commitment was not honored.
According to the financial network CNBC, his lawyers claimed in court that the company, now controlled by CEO Altman and OpenAI President Greg Brockman, would have fraudulently transformed by abandoning its original mission, an accusation that has escalated the conflict at the corporate level.
In the court filing submitted on Tuesday, Musk's lawyers specified that the entrepreneur requests that both Altman and Brockman be removed from their positions at OpenAI. The document states that the removal of the leaders and directors of a charitable organization is a common solution when those individuals fail to fulfill their duty to protect or advance the public mission of the entity WLD.

$XRP 🚨 Critical demands from the Terra Classic community: complete burning without delay or ambiguity
The community demands #TerraClassic to close this file permanently, after recent on-chain analyses revealed billions of unused USTC coins and undisclosed amounts of LUNC still held in wallets linked to previous TFL flows.
🔎 Highlights observed:
Over 2.8 billion USTC from Binance era deposits
Balances linked to Project Dawn
Remaining amounts of LUNC that have not been burned
These assets were supposed to be completely burned or their keys destroyed under SEC settlements and bankruptcy orders. Partial burning is no longer acceptable, as these lingering points still cast a shadow over a network now fully owned by the community.
🔥 Complete burning means:
Accountability and transparency
Reduction of supply
A real opportunity to revive LUNC and USTC
📣 The community's demands are clear:
Full transparency regarding all remaining wallets
Immediate execution of final burn operations
Reliable and verifiable proofs from platforms and the community
This file directly affects your investments — as the supply decreases, the fundamentals strengthen and the recovery path becomes clearer. The community has rebuilt governance, updates, and burn mechanisms… And it's time to close this chapter permanently.
If we take the historical average of 12-18 months from January 2022, the end of the bear market phase (or the beginning of deep accumulation) should have been around mid or late 2023. Since we are at the end of 2025, if the pattern repeats with the halving of 2024, we technically should already be in the post-halving accumulation phase, preparing for the next major bull rally (which is what many expect for 2026).
If the market continues to go down now, it could be a deep correction within an extended accumulation phase, strongly influenced by the global economy.
Remember that 10 accounts have a large percentage of tokens and if they want, they can make the price drop at any moment. They are waiting for it to rise and goodbye.

It is totally decentralized LUNA #DESCENRRALIZADAS
What will happen with #luna #TerraLunaClassic since they do not have the dependency of a central entity and the associated legal problems with Do Kwon
Very similar to bitcoin for not having a present central entity, is it under the control of the community? It seems to be a good opportunity for resilience and redemption
LUNA has evolved towards a management model that emulates the decentralized structure of Bitcoin, although with the additional burden of its recent history and the need to rebuild the trust of the community and the market.
Only we can give value to these assets we have the control it is time to decide To trust again or leave everything as it is and continue moving forward tell me in the comments what you think about this #LUNACLASSIC $BTC

Currently, there is no final criminal sentence against Do Kwon. What exists is:
1.Civil Liability: The verdict of the civil trial establishes that they must pay damages to the affected investors. This will be determined in a later phase (damages ruling).
2.Extradition and Criminal Process: Do Kwon is detained in Montenegro for using fake passports. There are ongoing legal battles over whether he should be extradited to South Korea or to the United States to face criminal charges (fraud, market manipulation, etc.).
Why could the sentence be more than 12 years?
If Do Kwon is extradited to the U.S. or South Korea, he could face multiple serious criminal charges.
U.S.: Federal charges for securities fraud and electronic fraud can carry significant prison sentences. Convictions for complex fraud often exceed 10 or 12 years, depending on the number of victims and the amount of fraud.
South Korea: Korean laws also impose severe penalties for serious financial crimes.
The number of years is not fixed because it depends on how many charges are ultimately brought against him and the sentence issued by the judge after the guilty verdict (or if he reaches a plea agreement).#LUNC✅ #TerraLunaClassic
Application to Cryptocurrencies (Extrapolated Example)
If we take the recent cycle:
1.Floor (C): The chart suggests that the lowest point to buy (Phase C) was around 2023. (This approximately coincides with the lows of the crypto bear market).
2.Peak/Sale (B): The chart predicts the next peak sale (Phase B) in 2026.
3.Panic (A): The next panic (Phase A) would be predicted for 2035 (or earlier, if the cycle shortens). Meaning for 2026: According to this model, the year 2026 would be the ideal time to sell or "unload" high market cap assets (high coins or blue chip crypto, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum), as they are expected to reach their peak in that cycle.
Warning: Cryptocurrency cycles are often linked to Bitcoin Halving (which occurs every 4 years, e.g.: 2020, 2024, 2028), which can modify or accelerate these historical patterns.
Type of YearUpcoming YearsRecommended ActionA (Panic)2019, 2035Sell/CautionB (Sell/Boom)2016, 2026, 2034SellC (Buy/Fund)2023, 2032, 2039Buy/Hold
The year 2025 is positioned between the last Panic event (2019) and the next Sell/Boom event (2026). It also comes after the last Buy/Fund event (2023).
Conclusion according to the Chart
Based strictly on this pattern:
1.The market has already passed the Buy point in 2023 (Phase C).
2.We are in the ascending phase towards the next Sell/Boom Point in 2026 (Phase B).
This suggests that, according to this theory, we are in a recovery or expansion period after a bottom, approaching a price peak.
This relates to the overall Business Cycle, where we move from recession (C) to expansion (between C and B) and then to the peak (B). $BTC $ETH
