I found this extremely interesting considering the fact that someone just did the same exact thing here.... someone just bet billions that our stock market will crash by the third week of sept as well.
Are these huge gambles being taken because these people KNOW something is going to happen?
OR... thinking like the financial elite, controllers of the world think....
Are these huge bets being waged as a BLUFF?
Are they bluffing, PRETENDING to KNOW something so that everyone will assume that "of course they must be onto something or else they would never take such a risk" and then all will follow suit...
Is this being done as a BLUFF to CAUSE the crash of the US and EU stock markets?
Who would do this?
China?
Fulford ringing a bell?
Then take into account the article that SolveETCoagula posted about China proposing it's own new world order in opposition of the one that the global elite are currently working toward.
Here is the article and I will post the other relevant articles in this thread as well.

Mystery Trader Bets Market Will Crash By a Third
Carry trade unwinds as yen hits one-year high

An anonymous investor has placed a bet on an index of Europe's top 50 stocks falling by a third by the end of September, as world equity markets plunged for a third day and volatility hit a three-year high.
The mystery investor has bought put option contracts on the DJ Eurostoxx 50 index that will result in a profit if it plunges to 2,800 or below by the end of September. Based on the 2,800 strike price, the position covers a notional €6.9bn, and potentially even more using a market price of about 4,100 when the trades were done on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The identity of the investor is unknown but market sources speculated it was either a large hedge fund hedging itself against deepening losses, or a long-only fund manager pressing the panic button to protect its gains.
The investor has bought a total of 245,000 put options on the index. The September put option with a 2,800 strike was the most popular DJ Eurostoxx 50 contract yesterday, according to data from Bloomberg.
Volatility in European equity markets has risen sharply this week as investors cut back on the amount of risk they are taking. The VSTOXX index, which measures the volatility of the DJ Eurostoxx 50 index, hit 34 this morning, which is more than double its three-year average.
Similarly the volatility of the US stock market was trading at almost three times its three-year average, hitting 30 yesterday.
However, both indices continue to trade below their 2002 highs.
European stock markets were trading down almost 3% at by 13:00 GMT today, after large drops in Asia and Australia overnight. The Australian market fell 300 points at one stage when futures trading was suspended for over an hour and traders were forced to hedge positions by selling physical stocks rather than futures.
