Honestly, I’m tired of this nonsense.
Some traders made over $170M by perfectly positioning just hours before Trump’s official announcement on Chinese tariffs.
I’ve gone over all the data, there’s no way this was a coincidence.
Trump made his announcement on October 10th at 10:50 a.m. (UTC+1).
The trader 0x2ea18c23f72a4b6172c55b411823cdc5335923f4 had been inactive for two months. Then, just a few hours before the announcement, he deposited $30M on @HyperliquidX and opened a short position on ETH.
Same thing for 0xb317d2bc2d3d2df5fa441b5bae0ab9d8b07283ae, which is a new address. When someone uses a brand-new wallet to trade with $80M, you know something’s off.
This address deposited $80M on Hyperliquid five hours before the announcement and shorted BTC two hours before it.
Several things show that these two wallets are controlled by the same person, one used to short ETH, the other to short BTC.
0x2ea... shorted ETH with $30M and made a net profit of $70M, all positions closed.
0xb317... shorted BTC with $80M and made a net profit of $80M, with $8M still unrealized.
Both used 5x leverage.
The activity of these wallets clearly shows they knew. There’s no way to argue otherwise.
I can’t even imagine what positions were opened on CEXs, this is just what we can see on-chain.
I’m not saying Trump himself tipped anyone off, but the leak definitely came from within his team, and well-connected insiders took full advantage of it.
I’m tired of the extraction coming from Trump’s circle: $TRUMP, $MELANIA, $WLFI, and now pre-news positioning.
