#US response was financial rather than naval. #DFC announced a $20B reinsurance plan for #Gulf shipping and named #Chubb [check hashtag] as lead insurance partner

The Moral Limits of Gambling

Or: what do Polymarket and life insurance have in common?

Looking Through the Past

Of course I don't believe any words coming out the mouths of the #Trump Administration, but oftentimes, it is their body language and tone of delivery that gives the game away.

Look in the thread for the body language of #Bessent when he makes a circular motion to explain the $20B #DFC "circular" #insurance program as a #Ponzi scheme to profit from when #Lloyds declares #ForceMajeure and refuses to pay for ships and cargo lost in the #StraitOfHormuz.

⬆️ >> Lots of #financial shenanigans afoot with #DFCInsurance they "already anticipated… because #Lloyds does call #ForceMajeure and the policies drop away…"

Watch his fingers go round and round as he says "circular".

Looks like a $20B circular #insurance #Ponzi scheme for #oil tankers that #Trump has planned to sell to shippers and skim from because he knows that Lloyds of #London will refuse to pay.

Remember the $4B insurance payout after 9/11 #terrorist attacks?

⬆️ >> Read between the lines

Lots of #financial shenanigans afoot with #DFCInsurance which they had "already anticipated… because #Lloyds does call #ForceMajeure and the policies drop away… and $20B in #insurance for tankers… will be enough to ensure a CIRCULAR insurance program"

Watch his fingers go round and round as he says "circular".

#Bessent says "I'm not keeping the running cost… but the PUBLIC number was $11B thus far."

Wonder what's the actual private number

Here's a clip from the longer interview where Bessent is asked about oil prices and getting called to the Situation Room. "That was always in our planning, that there's the chance that U.S Navy or perhaps an international coalition will be escorting oil tankers through." youtu.be/zq_L011kMLs
