BREAKING: 2025's biggest market events are happening THIS WEEK.

- Fed rate cut decision on Wednesday
- U.S. jobless claims on Thursday
- $4.9 TRILLION options expiry on Friday

3 days where fortunes will be made and lost in hours.

Here's what this means (and how to prepare):
On Wednesday, September 17, the Federal Reserve will announce its rate decision at 2:00 PM ET.

Markets are pricing in a 99% chance of a 25 basis point cut.

His press conference at 2:30 PM could change everything.

If Powell hints at even MORE cuts coming...

In 1998, 16 very high-IQ people almost ended capitalism.

Not through war or terrorism...

But through mathematics.

Here's the untold story of how Nobel Prize winners used "risk-free" formulas to create the biggest financial bomb in history: 🧵 Meet the legend John Meriwether.

At Salomon Brothers, his bond arbitrage desk generated 80-100% of the firm's profits.

In 1994, he launched Long-Term Capital Management with a simple promise:

Use mathematical models to eliminate risk.

The team he assembled was unmatched:

This man's scam was so good that it tricked:

- US Bank
- Warren Buffett
- Major corporations

The mastermind? A jobless mechanic with a napkin sketch.

Here's how he sold $1 BILLION worth of "air" to our greatest Wall Street minds:🧵 Jeff Carpoff was a 36-year-old jobless ex-mechanic living in a rundown house.

His previous businesses had failed. He was selling drugs to pay bills.

But in 2008, he had an idea that would change everything.

What if solar panels could be mobile?

This billionaire hedge fund manager thought he was untouchable.

- $14 billion empire
- 30% annual returns
- Billionaire lifestyle

But eight of his employees are now in prison...

Here's how ONE phone call destroyed a $14 billion empire:🧵 Steven Cohen started SAC Capital in 1992 with just $25 million.

His trading was legendary.

3% of the NYSE's daily volume came from his fund.

By 2013, he managed $14 billion.

His annual compensation hit $1 billion in 2005.

But there was a problem:

Michael Burry just did the impossible.

The man who predicted the 2008 crash and bet $98M against Nvidia...

Just went ALL IN on the same companies he was shorting 3 months ago.

Here's what the latest portfolio updates revealed: Just days ago, Burry's Q2 2025 filings were published.

The documents shocked Wall Street.

The same man who was aggressively shorting tech giants in Q1 had completely reversed course by Q2.

Nobody saw this coming.

Let's recap:

This man just made history.

First person ever convicted of crypto insider trading.

His "foolproof" scheme at Coinbase generated $1.1 million in 10 months.

Until ONE tweet exposed the whole operation.

Here's how it all unraveled:🧵
Ishan Wahi had the most valuable job in crypto.

Product manager at Coinbase's asset listing team.

He knew which tokens would be listed weeks before the public.

Coinbase kept this information under lock and key.

But Wahi saw an opportunity:

FTX victims are about to get 119% of their money back.

But they're not celebrating.

While they suffered for 2 years, someone else got rich off their pain.

And it wasn't Sam Bankman-Fried...

Here's how ONE organization turned tragedy into profit:🧵 FTX was the crypto world's golden child.

- 3rd largest exchange by volume.
- Over 1 million users trusted it with their Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- Celebrity endorsements from Tom Brady and Stephen Curry.

A $32 billion valuation at its peak.

But who was the owner?

This trader reads TikTok comments 4 hours every night.

Wall Street thinks he's crazy.

His bank account? $42 million from an $84,000 start.

Here's how he beats hedge funds by scrolling social media: Meet Chris Camillo.

- No finance degree.
- No Wall Street connections.
- No Bloomberg terminal.

Just an iPhone and an obsession with reading comments.

His "social arbitrage" strategy turned $84,000 into $42 million over 15 years with a 77% average annual return.

JUST IN: This Republican senator broke ranks and voted with Democrats to BAN congressional stock trading.

Trump is FURIOUS.

He just called him a "pawn" and accused him of "SABOTAGE!"

But wait until you see Nancy Pelosi's reaction...

Here's the breakdown of the chaos: Josh Hawley had a problem with Congress.

Members were getting rich trading stocks using inside information.

So in April 2025, he reintroduced his solution:

The "PELOSI Act."

But what is it?

This man spent decades attacking Wall Street greed.

He weaponized boycotts to crash corporate stocks.

Then accidentally became richer than the executives he despised.

All thanks to ONE smart play.

Here's the story of the ultimate financial rebel: Max Keiser started his career in the 1980s as a stockbroker on Wall Street.

He worked at prestigious firms like Paine Webber.

But what he witnessed there disgusted him: fraud and corruption.

So he left with one goal: destroy the system from the outside.

Trump just signed the most expensive bill in US history.

- $4.5 trillion in tax cuts
- $3.3 trillion added to the deficit

Elon hated it so much that he started his own party.

Republicans say it's the best thing Trump ever did.

Let's break down what it will change for you:
Trump signed this during the White House July 4th ceremony.

He called it "the single most popular bill ever signed."

But many Americans don’t support it.

It's the most unpopular major legislation since 1990.

The numbers are staggering:

Why is nobody talking about the biggest threat of 2025?

- Not AI
- Not war
- Not inflation

It's something else that is about to erupt and affects everyone's lives, even outside the US.

Here is what the government is hiding and how you can protect yourself: America's debt just hit $36.2 trillion.

That's $484,000 per child.

$260,000 per household.

And it's growing by $1 trillion every 100 days.

But the real crisis isn't the debt itself...

It's what happens when we can't pay the interest.

COVID-19 was the biggest insider trading scandal ever.

- Senators sold millions before the COVID crash
- Classified briefings while the public stayed unaware
- Markets lost $11 trillion as politicians protected their wealth

Here’s the dark insider trading truth about COVID: January 24, 2020: Senators received a classified briefing on COVID-19's threat.

The public knew almost nothing about the pandemic's economic impact.

But within hours, several senators were dumping stocks.

While Americans bought the dip, insiders were getting out…

This man made $65 million in a single day.

Two years later, he went bankrupt.

Why?

He single-handedly manipulated one of the most well-known markets, causing a global price crash.

Here's the untold story of how ONE trader changed Wall Street forever: Nelson Bunker Hunt was born into oil money.

His father, H.L. Hunt, was one of the richest men in America.

But Nelson wanted his own empire.

In 1973, when inflation was soaring and the dollar was weak, he found his opportunity:

Silver.

This man bribed a Goldman Sachs director $500K for 6 text messages.

Each message made him millions overnight.

How?

By building the biggest corporate spy network in Wall Street history.

Here's how Raj Rajaratnam corrupted the entire financial system: Raj Rajaratnam was born into financial privilege.

His family was wealthy, and he attended prestigious schools.

But he wanted more...

In 1997, he launched Galleon Group with a simple promise:

Consistently beat the market, no matter what.

How?

Because of this man:

- Nomura lost $2.9B
- Credit Suisse lost $5.5B
- Morgan Stanley lost $900M

And his personal $20B was gone as well.

The crazy part?

It all happened in 48 hours.

Here is the full story of how ONE insider trader destroyed Wall Street in just 48 hours: Bill Hwang started as a mentee under hedge fund legend Julian Robertson.

Bill's first fund shut down after paying a $44M fine for insider trading in 2012.

Then he quietly built Archegos Capital as a "family office."

No regulation. No scrutiny. Perfect.

Everyone’s talking about tariffs. But here’s what they’re missing:

Trump’s real target isn’t trade—it’s EU unity.

And a shot at breaking post-Brexit Europe wide open.

This isn’t economic policy. It’s geopolitical chess.

Here’s the play: It started with Trump putting a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imported from the UK and EU.

These are basic materials used to build everything from cars and planes to buildings and tools.

It’s like raising the price of flour and sugar for a baker.

Why this matters:

In 2003, the world’s biggest dairy company vanished overnight.

A $14B company with a spotless reputation was exposed for one of the largest financial frauds in history.

The Italian government launched an investigation.

Here’s the shocking truth they uncovered: It all started in 1961 when 22-year-old Calisto Tanzi took over his family’s small dairy business.

Over the next few decades, he grew Parmalat into Italy’s biggest food company, with a global empire in over 30 countries.

By the 90s, Parmalat was everywhere.

Olympus, a $10B giant, fired its CEO for asking too many questions.

Turns out, he uncovered a $1.7B fraud that had been buried for decades.

The biggest corporate scandal in Japan no one is talking about:🧵 In 2011, Michael Woodford became the first non-Japanese CEO of Olympus.

Within two weeks, he found something odd—a $687M fee for an acquisition that made no sense.

He asked questions.

The board’s response? Fire him immediately.

But that only made him dig deeper.

Did you know banks actually sell debt to collectors for pennies?

Then, those collectors harass families, profiting off their misery.

In 2020, Michael Sheen bought these debts—but instead of collecting, he erased them.

Here’s how one man saved 900 families: The debt industry is massive—worth billions.

Here’s how it works: banks sell unpaid debts to collectors for just pennies on the pound.

Then, debt collectors chase after struggling people, demanding the full amount, and they profit off people’s pain.

Remember The Wolf of Wall Street?
Meet the real guy behind it.

In the late ’80s and ’90s, Jordan Belfort scammed over 1500 investors out of $200M.

And what did he do with it?

Blew it on yachts, hookers, and enough drugs to sedate a small country.

Here’s the full story: 🧵👇
Jordan Belfort knew he wanted to be filthy rich since he was a kid.

So he hustled harder than everyone else.

Selling ice cream on the beach. Selling meat in Long Island.

In 1987, he realized he wanted more from life and found his place as a stockbroker trainee at L.F Rothschild.
