Some of the bets executed by an anonymous trader who made more than $300,000 wagering on the likelihood of former President Biden’s pardons. hide caption toggle caption In the final hours of President Biden’s term, a Polymarket trader made around $300,000 correctly betting on Biden’s last-minute pardons, according to new data provided to NPR by an analytics firm that examines cryptocurrency transactions. As Biden issued a wave of pardons just hours before leaving the White House, the Polymarket trader bet big on four names, with the odds of those pardons occurring rapidly dropping to near zero on the prediction market site. The trader, whose identity is not publicly known, placed around $64,000 worth of bets that Biden would issue pre-emptive pardons for Jim Biden, the former president’s brother, former Rep Liz Cheney, Sen. Adam Schiff, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger — all prominent critics of President Trump.

A trader who made a large bet on a stocks rocketing in the coming weeks is up about $23 million in paper profit today, according to Bloomberg. The unknown trader spent $12 million premium on 6800 lots of 6950 S&P 500 Index Options (SPX) calls for May 8 expiry, when the index was at 6556.21; the trade was executed around 10:20 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, just hours before Trump’s announcement of a 2-week ceasefire which sent stocks soaring.  The trade was an “example of upside chasing on hopes of an imminent peace deal”, said Chris Murphy, co-head of derivatives intelligence, in an email Tuesday.  Following the ceasefire deal last night, stocks surged, with the long SPX 6950 position now trading at $50, Bloomberg pricing data indicates. That makes the position worth $35 million as of noon on April 8, with the S&P 500 at 6773, or a $23 million profit net of the premium paid.  * * * Source link

Owens is best known for playing Elvin Tibideaux, the hard-working husband of Sondra Huxtable (Sabrina Le Beauf), on seven seasons of the Bill Cosby-led family sitcom, from 1985 to 1992. Following …
