The E-Files Are Back-And They’re Redacted AF

Have you ever…

…watched both sides of the political aisle pretend they lost the hard drive right before a major leak and thought, “Yep, nothing to see here but premium to collect.”

My Tinfoil-Hat Face-Palm

In 2019 I bought straddles ahead of the Epstein “document dump” thinking volatility would explode. What I got was a 100% IV crush, 200% P&L loss, and 0% accountability. Lesson: the secrets don’t move the market-but they sure fund the theta.

Why this could pay even fatter

• Trump allegedly suppressing Epstein-linked intelligence releases [1].

• FOIA requests stonewalled while media goes all weather balloon again.

• No reaction from S&P, which means IV remains juiced-but aimless.

SPX Options = Cashflow Engine.

With this setup? It’s practically an ATM with a checklist.

The “E-File Theta Fade”

1. Sell a deep-OTM (~10-delta) SPX strangle-headline risk high, directionless.

2. Add wide wings or cheap VIX calls-hedge the whistleblower nuke.

3. Exit with 65–80% ROC. Government truth won’t show up-but your theta will.

Disclaimer

If Trump admits Epstein was running a hedge fund for aliens and nothing happens to the VIX, don’t blame me. This is infotainment, not blackmail insurance.
