    Just follow the money, there’s documented evidence of unusual pre-9/11 trading that profited from short bets.

    Allen Poteshman’s peer-reviewed study in The Journal of Business (2006) concluded: “there is evidence of unusual option market activity in the days leading up to September 11 that is consistent with investors trading on advance knowledge of the attacks.”

      that is consistent with investors trading on advance knowledge of the attacks

      ugh. that language does not actually say anything. the question is: is it inconsistent with investors trading without advance knowledge of the attacks? i.e. could they also have behaved that way if they had not known of the attacks

      You cant post anything that slightly resembles 9/11 conspiracy on this site without a slew of downvotes. I made a post just asking if people believed the official story and got verbatim some of the same comments and a slew of downvotes. Presuming they’re not with other malicious motives, I think they’re just close minded dicks

        People here started again about building 7.

        Which had the roof of the north tower fall right on top of it, that piece of tower was a about the same size as building 7.

        Weird how it “collapsed and burned to the ground”. Must be a conspiracy.

        It’s still entertaining to read tho.

        You’ll have to forgive us close minded fucks, we’ve been listening to people spew uninformed shit about jet fuel and steel beams for 25 years and we’re kinda tired.

          Go ahead and keep believing everything the government tells you, I’m sure that will work out great.

            I don’t believe most of what the government said. I also don’t think that tower 7 was some sort of inside job. I simply don’t believe the finance bros and the government are capable of keeping these things secret
