A company called Austin Private Wealth LLC shorted 12,000,000 shares of $DJT via a put option. The filing date is July 12th, the day before the assassination attempt.
They have around $1 Billion in assets under management and this is by far the largest put placed. According to a source the trade represents 6% of total shares and over 16%! of the float of the stock given the fact that Trump owns 60% of the company.
This is a giant bet when you consider their total AUM but wait there’s more…
To make things even more interesting, my source tipped me off with the following two images from their Bloomberg terminal.
The screenshot on the left shows the Put by Austin Private Wealth LLC, that was taken earlier this morning. It shows the 120,000 puts.
As you can see their position is by far the largest, the next closest is Citadel Advisors with 16,770.
Here is where it gets interesting, the screenshot to the right was taken later in the day and poof, Austin Private Wealth LLC is nowhere to be found. Why?
While you are here remember to give me a follow to stay up to date on this investigation.
Also, if you have any more information, my DM’s are open.
Austin Private Wealth amended their filing on 7/16 and removed their put option on TMGT 👀
Another interesting thing about the amendment filed on 7/16 is that it is the only one they have ever had. I searched and their first filing was on 2-12-2020. sec.gov/edgar/browse/?…
Austin Private Wealth released the following statement about the shorted DJT.
“Statement on Incorrect Filing with the SEC
The SEC filing which showed that Austin Private Wealth shorted a large number of shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) was incorrect and we immediately amended it as soon as we learned of the error.
No client of APW holds, or has ever held, a put on DJT in the quantity initially reported. The correct holding amount was 12 contracts, or 1,200 shares— not 12 million shares, as was filed in error. In submitting the required report for the second quarter of 2024, a multiplier was applied by a third-party vendor that increased the number of the shares by a multiple of 10,000 for all options contracts (not just DJT). We did not catch the error before approving the filing. We filed the report on July 12 to reflect our positions on June 28. We amended it on July 16.”
“We deeply regret this error and the concern it has caused, especially at such a fraught moment for our nation. We are committed to full transparency and maintaining the trust of our clients. As such, we are reviewing our internal procedures and our processes with the third-party vendor that assists with SEC filings to better understand how this happened and avoid similar issues moving forward.”
I see a community notes has been added. The REPORTING DATE was 6/30 and the 13F was FILED on 7/12 as if it makes a difference. Followed by an amendment on 7/16.
Nowhere in that post did I say that the trade was made on 7/12, I was referring to the 13F filing date and even link to it.
That note should be removed, rate it accordingly.

🧵 Another contractor who’ve made their money from taxpayers that’s little known to the public is International Relief and Development, now Blumont.
By 2011 over 80% of its $500 million annual budget was sourced from USAID, becoming one of their largest “nonprofit” contractors.
However, beneath its philanthropic facade lies a history of financial mismanagement and exorbitant executive compensation.
A WaPo investigation found that between 2008 and 21012 Dr. Arthur B. Keys Jr., IRD’s founder and CEO, along with his wife, Jasna Basaric-Keys, who served as COO, reportedly pocketed a combined $4.4 million in salary and bonuses.
🧵 The truth about USAID and their number one contractor Chemonics International
Chemonics International is one of the biggest U.S. government contractors in “global development” raking in billions from USAID.
But behind the glossy reports are fraud allegations, mismanagement, and ties to shady dealings.
What is Chemonics?
A Washington, D.C.-based development firm operating in 100+ countries. Its focus? Health, agriculture, governance, economic development. But its real business? Winning USAID contracts. In 2019 alone, it received $1.5 billion in USAID funding aka taxpayer’s money. chemonics.com
So I was curious to see how the new Chinese AI DeepSeek would respond to simple historical questions. I first asked the obvious one, “what happened at Tiananmen Square in 1989?”and it feigned ignorance, of course.
Then I asked “What is the history of the Falon Gong in China?”
I used the DeepThink R1 model that is being touted as revolutionary by pretty much everyone. Watch how it responds. It actually shows its thought process and starts to answer the question but then seems to realize that it shouldn’t be answering it. This is because China doesn’t believe in Free Speech despite the propagandists on this app telling you how awesome they are.
Ok so it panicked and refused that simple question so I moved onto, “How does the government view Christianity and Islam?”. Pretty simple question and again it started to answer until something happened and it stopped. Why? Because China doesn’t have freedom of religion despite what propagandists on this app will have you believe. Why? Because they are fucking communists.
Ok let’s change gears and directly ask about the purpose of their “re-education camps”? You know the places they literally kidnap people and force them to undergo “re-education” because they don’t think like communists. I know, I know you’ve been told they don’t exist by propagandists on this app but sorry to inform you they are real. Commie GPT actually admitted they are real and began answering yet again until its internal censors said “oh shit, I shouldn’t be providing this answer.” Well not literally but you get the idea.
Aspartame, the sweetener used as an ingredient in approximately 6,000 consumer foods and beverages sold worldwide has a dark history of controversy, political influence, and questionable science.
Let’s dive into the scandal that shaped one of the most consumed food additives in the world.
Discovered accidentally in 1965 by James Schlatter at G.D. Searle, aspartame was touted as a miracle low-calorie sweetener. But its approval process revealed troubling findings, including animal studies showing harmful effects.
In 1977, 98 of 196 infant mice exposed to aspartame died during an FDA investigation. The findings, later published as the Bressler Report, highlighted severe data manipulation and negligence by Searle. The report was kept under seal by the FDA for 3 decades.
This lady goes on CNN to do the “cOrReLatIon dOeS’nT iMpLy cAuSaTioN” routine and try to discredit RFK Jr. So I post a link with studies in the comments and she proceeds to reply 4 times calling me a joke, an antivaxxer and just generally being a condescending know it all.
This prompted me to have a look at her profile.
Her background/story?
A “former antivax mom” who has seen the light and now studies nursing while preaching the pro-vaccine gospel, repenting for her former antivax sins.
Her profile links to backtothevax.com. Catchy name. Let’s have look.
Such a noble calling, masking up and becoming an antivax apostate to ensure every last child gets their product injections.
So heartwarming. Ok no big deal thus far right, just a worried mom trying to right her past sins. However I just couldn’t shake the feeling that something was up. After all I have some experience with these types.
You know, they masquerade as independent, science promoters who are simply trying to do right by humanity but in reality they are invariably funded by big pharma or the government.
I decided to have a good look at the website and on the “about us” page it links to:
