Hi Les; I'm watching it from time to time, and
I'm sure some other people are too.
----------
If the news media knew about this before the 29th
they appeared to deny it, it was those denials
that prompted me to look.
At any rate I as late as I was in looking them up
I still scooped the News media as I reported the 2.5 mil
to th FBI on the 28th.
And if you look at the time stamp you'll see
I started posting about it early on SI
(like about 12:30 AM of the 29th ) on SI. :-)
So far I haven't found any News pundits that beat me
to it.
Jim
PS I can just about tell you how that's
going to turn out , but I might wind up
with a problem I don't want if I make
taht public.

wouldn't the broker have had time to freeze the acct? and in-the-money puts would not necessarily add anything to margin equity (if they are held as cash equity and unmarginable, as many brokers require), even though acct. value would be up 2.5 mil.
