#Israel investigates possible #TradingKnowledge ahead of Oct 7 #Hamas attack.

#RobertJacksonJr from #NYU & #JoshuaMitts of #ColumbiaUniversity found significant short-selling of shares leading up to the attacks

They claim some investors may have known in advance of a Hamas plan and used that information to profit from #MSCI Israel #ExchangeTradedFund (#ETF) based on #FINRA data

Similar claims were made after #September11 attacks. Not sure if they were ever validated
