923: Terror Put
The Terror Put, Dortmund Bus Bombing and Market Manipulation
A suspect in the bombing of the Borussia Dortmund team bus allegedly placed "put calls" on the team's stock, hoping to net $1 million from the resulting price drop. The hosts refer to this as a "terror put," drawing parallels to suspicious market activity observed before the September 11 attacks. The suspect's mistake was buying a large volume of options on the day of the attack.
