Trump Day 1

Some very suspicious activity on $TRUMP meme when it was launched on Friday.
At 6:00 PM ET, President Trump says "I don't know very much about it" regarding his memecoin, $TRUMP. 3 minutes later, at 6:03 PM ET, $TRUMP fell over -33% and a wallet purchased $5.09 MILLION worth of it at the EXACT bottom. This is one of the biggest single purchases since the coin launched. 14 minutes later and this trader is now up $2.4 MILLION on this purchase. Did someone know? Source: The Kobeissi Letter
