  5. Reuters: Judge won’t rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s $1.5M settlement with SEC over Twitter disclosures. “A federal judge on Friday declined to quickly approve the Securities and Exchange Commission’s $1.5 million settlement with Elon Musk over his purchase of Twitter, saying she wants more information about whether the accord is fair and how it was reached.”

  6. On April 17, nearly $2 billion in Brent, WTI, gasoil & #gasoline #futures were sold at 1224-1225 GMT, MINUTES before Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said #Hormuz would reopen, followed by multiple social media posts by #Trump & #US officials. On April 21, some $830 ​million worth of Brent & WTI contracts were sold just 15 minutes before Trump extended the ceasefire.

  7. …However, a further analysis of #trading data across exchanges & contracts showed traders executed similar bets at exactly the same dates & times for European #diesel & #US #gasoline #futures as well as longer-dated contracts for Brent & WTI, bringing the total to around $7 billion, based on Reuters calculations.

  8. Reuters & other media reported those trades on the most actively traded front-month contracts for the 2 global crude benchmarks, Brent & West ​Texas Intermediate . The value of those bets on those 4 days in March & April stood at around $2.6 billion, acc/to Reuters initial calculations.

    The #DOJ & #CFTC did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

  9. The same pattern repeated on April 7, before #Trump announced a ceasefire with #Iran that triggered a fall of as much as 15% in benchmark ICE Brent #futures. It happened again on April 17, when Iranian officials ​& Trump spoke about reopening the #StraitOfHormuz, & then again on April 21, when Trump extended the ceasefire.

  10. The well-timed trades have triggered calls from #legal experts & lawmakers for regulators to investigate whether they ​were based on inside information or leaks.

    Traders first spotted unusual trades on March 23. The trades were executed MINUTES before #Trump announced a delay to threatened attacks on Iranian power ⁠infrastructure, triggering an #oil price fall.

  11. Reuters could not establish who placed the bets & whether they originated in the #US or elsewhere. They included short positions, or bets that prices would fall, for derivatives including #ICE, #CME crude, #diesel & #gasoline #futures.

    The bets took place on 2 major exchanges that host benchmark global #oil & #fuel futures #trade: the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) & Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).

  16. The size exceeds previously reported bets amounting to $2.6 billion, which have already prompted the #Trump admin to warn “staff” against using ‌nonpublic information for financial benefit. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (#CFTC) is investigating, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters in April, although the CFTC has yet to officially confirm a probe is underway.

  18. OpenAI nearly merged with Anthropic during the November 2023 crisis. A board member argued dissolving the company was "consistent with the mission."

    Also: the 52-page document that triggered the CEO firing was built primarily on one person's unverified account. That person just testified "No" under oath about a different claim.

  19. OpenAI's former CTO testified today. One question. One word.

    Did Altman tell the truth about safety clearances?

    "No."

    Also: "Proxy Elon" (seriously that was stated in court) took the stand. Purple boxes went unresolved. A woman in the gallery tried to sleep through it.

    Day seven. Still going.

  20. The #Trump #DOJ agreed to let #ElonMusk pay one penny on the dollar in a civil penalty to the govt.
    arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20

    Why? Because Musk is indigent?

    The penalty is for failing to disclose that he bought a 9% share of Twitter in 2022, enabling him to buy more shares at artificially low prices. Musk was convicted by a jury of violating #SEC mandatory disclosure rules in January 2025.

    What's the next step? Pull a #MichaelFlynn? Sue the govt for malicious prosecution and find a docile DOJ willing to settle with him for $1+ million?

  21. OpenAI's CEO and president both held personal stakes in a chip company they then signed a $10 billion deal with. Neither disclosed it. Ever. Confirmed under oath.
    The CFO went to the Journal. Two sets of numbers. California AG watching. Eight banks holding a $40 billion unsecured loan with one repayment path.
    Musk stumbled into being accidentally correct. That's almost worse.

  22. Politico: Elon Musk settles SEC lawsuit over Twitter stock disclosures. “Elon Musk has struck a settlement deal with the Securities and Exchange Commission to resolve a 2025 lawsuit tied to the billionaire’s purchases of Twitter stock three years earlier, according to a court filing. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s revocable trust will pay $1.5 million to settle the case, without admitting or […]

  23. Greg Brockman testified today. Zero dollars invested. Stake worth $30 billion. His own journal asked "what will take me to $1B?" in 2017.
    Same Monday: Musk settled an SEC case about misleading investors for one cent on the dollar.
    I cannot make this up.

  24. Ridiculous

    #ElonMusk settles #SEC lawsuit over #Twitter disclosures, $1.5 million fine imposed

    #Musk settled the SEC's civil lawsuit accusing the world's richest person of waiting too long in 2022 to disclose his initial ‌purchases of Twitter, now known as #X.

    A trust in Musk's name will pay a $1.5 million civil penalty, WITHOUT admitting #wrongdoing.

    Musk won't have to give up ANY money he allegedly saved from the delay.

  25. Three companies approved under the FCC router ban. One makes sense. One is already in the government's server cabinets. One is Amazon — and you don't tell Amazon no when they run your classified workloads. Also I pulled the SEC filing. Funny story.

  26. Has anyone in the history of the #SEC ever destroyed an entire athletics department the way #TexasAM has done to #LSU?

  27. Even grifters don't like getting duped in a Ponzi scheme! Grifter Boffin J. Sun rails against World Liberty Finance (WLFI) for:

    1) secretly implementing a one-signature freeze function, used to blacklist his wallet

    2) WFLI posted ~ $5B WLFI token on Dolomite as collateral to borrow $250 million in Stablecoins > classic circular financing move
