This guy dropped $350k on Gavin Newsom.
Yes and no at the same time.
This is how the big Wall Street money plays.
On paper it looks pointless. 350,000 shares on him winning the 2028 nomination. Just as many on him losing. Both legs at 50c — so at resolve he nets exactly zero.
So why do it?
Because he's not betting on Newsom. He's betting on volatility.
The price jumps on every headline, and there'll be a lot of them before 2028. He sells off whichever leg runs up, waits for them to come back in line, and reloads.
On geopolitics he does the exact opposite - zero neutrality. NO on the Strait of Hormuz closing. NO on Iran getting a nuke. NO on Starmer surviving.
On the 2028 race he couldn't care less who wins.
On what's happening right now, his read is rock solid.
Easy to find him - he trades as zb8 on Polymarket
This kind of playbook never used to hit X. It got handed down - inside hedge funds, old money, practically in masonic lodges. Rooms you'd never get into.
Now it's all out in the open. Break the strategy down and make money off it.
