Capri, $CPRI, is up +56% after acquisition news.

Did someone know? Yup.

Someone put $700k in $CPRI 42.5c 9 expiring next month, bought last Friday/Monday at .87 and .80 respectively. CPRI is generally illiquid.

The closed at +1000% return, turning $700k into ~$10 million. Image
Could you have followed it on unusual whales? Probably.

Say you looked at opening flow on $CPRI, interested due to upcoming earnings. You would have seen its net flow, elevated call side, puts being sold since Aug 3.

The OTM skew was heavily call side outside of normal vol. Image
What is more weird is that $CPRI gets close to zero options activity.

Premiums and volumes jumped since Aug 3.

That would have raised suspicion. If you looked at the chain, you would have seen people hitting $42.5 and $45 calls since last month, expiring in Sept.

Weird... Image
Say you kept searching, and you'd see the $42.5 call was heavily bet on for this September, you'd see the attached image of ALL opening trades.

Paired with flow alerts would have then shown repeated hits on $CPRI, thus confirming something is up.

Dianne Feinstein, 90, has now ceded power of attorney to daughter, but still serves in Congress, per NYP.

Feinstein has incredibly unusual trades over 30 years in Congress.

In that time her net worth is up over $200 million.

Let's look at some of her unusual trades: Image
Feinstein reportedly attended Covid hearings by the CDC in early Jan 2020.

Afterwards, her husband sold between $1.5 & $6 million in stock Allogene Therapeutics amongst others.

The stock market collapsed shortly afterwards.

Feinstein was cleared by the DOJ.
In April 2018, Mark Zuckerberg testified before the Senate's Judiciary Committee, which Feinstein sat on.

But in Jan 2018, Feinstein’s husband bought $250,000 Facebook stock.

Only in May 2018 did Feinstein disclose the $META purchase. Feinstein praised $META in the hearing.

In April 2018, Mark Zuckerberg testified before the Senate's Judiciary Committee, which Feinstein sat on.

But in Jan 2018, months before she bought $250,000 in FB stock.

Only in May 2018 did she disclose $META purchase.

Feinstein praised $META in the hearing and is up +70%

Last year, Congress continued to trade without any fear of conflicts.

For example in 2022, there were many unusually timed trades.

When someone asks you about unusual political trading or conflicts of interests last year, show them this thread:
On Feb 22, 2022, House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene bought Lockheed Martin, $LMT, Chevron, $CVX, and NextEra Energy, $NEE.

The next day, Rep. Greene said “War and rumors of war is incredibly profitable and convenient."

Ukraine was invaded the two days later.
Numerous other politicians purchased oil and war stocks before the invasion of Ukraine.

Many were on Committees privy to info regarding the invasion, including Defense & Energy.

The positions they took have beat the market since November.

This month, Senator Thomas Carper announced his retirement.

He has been in office for 40 years.

In that time he became a multimillionaire many times over.

In fact, he was one of the best traders in Congress.

Seriously, take a look: Image
Before the vaccines were announced, Carper held $RMD, $APO, and $OHI.

On 07/09 he sold his positions in $RMD, $APO, $OHI.

Two weeks later, $RMD drops 15% on vaccine news (no need for ventilators), $APO / $OHI 10-20% over 3 months.

Now all down significantly since then.
Senator Thomas Carper bought up to $110k in Ranger Equity Bear Bear ETF, $HDGE, as well as $SH, and $PSQ, more short ETFs.

He sits on the Senate Finance Committee.

As a politician, he was actively shorting the US, and was up significantly, selling all three for large gains.
