Nah they're investigating to make sure others who aren't them haven't figured out the scam and are profiting. Those market scams are for them to profit from and no one else, of course.

They're investigating it only because they're trying to build a case to defend Trump and other administration officials who almost certainly did this, not to prosecute them. This DOJ has no concern for the law in how it can bind their own, only how it can be used to harm the people opposing them.

> On March 23, 15 minutes before Trump announced that he would delay threatened attacks on Iran's power grid, traders bet more than $500 million that oil prices would fall.
> On April 21, 15 minutes before Trump announced he would extend the ceasefire, traders placed a series of bets worth $430 million that oil prices would fall.
But Trump donated his $400k salary, so obviously he's not in it for the money.
