The suspicious timing of Greene’s latest buys
While only time will tell if any of the 60 trades were especially suspicious, the overall timing is curious, akin to the April investments that drew significant attention for their overall place in the context of the Liberation Day tariff announcement.
Notably, Representative Greene executed the investments on May 5, while on May 6, President Donald Trump promised major news would be coming out soon, late on that day.
On May 7, it was confirmed that the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, will meet Chinese officials in Switzerland. Furthermore, despite the Fed disappointing bulls on Wednesday with the decision to hold interest rates steady and refusing to rule out that 2025 would feature no cuts, the President once again made bullish announcements.
