ABC News’ Peter Jennings: 9/11 Was a Stock Market Heist — Bets Placed, Planes Crashed, Millions Made
October 5, 2025
They told us it was terrorism.
They told us it was an attack on freedom.
But behind the smoke and fear, a darker truth lurks…
📌 Bets were placed.
📌 Planes went down.
📌 Millions were made.
Canadian-American journalist Peter Jennings once pointed to the unasked questions…
Who knew what was coming? Who cashed in on tragedy? And why was the trail never followed?
What if 9/11 wasn’t just the day the towers fell…
but the day the world was sold to the highest bidder?
Because sometimes, the real weapon isn’t bombs or planes…
It’s money.

English Script:
Peter Jennings: Federal officials have begun a major investigation into whether someone or many people benefited financially from the evil done to the country last Tuesday. Not long before the attacks occurred, there were some financial transactions in the stock market that may indicate knowledge of the attack before it began. ABC’s Antonio Mora is here. Whether they ever get to, if they ever get to the bottom of it, it will be astonishing.
Antonio Mora: Astonishing, no question Peter. What many Wall Street analysts believe is that the terrorists made bets that a number of stocks would see their prices fall. They did so by buying what are called puts. If you bet right, the rewards can be huge. The risks are also huge. Unless, of course, you know something bad is going to happen to the company you’re betting against.
Dylan Ratigan: This could very well be insider trading at the worst, most horrific, most evil use you’ve ever seen in your entire life.
VO: One example: United Airlines. The Thursday before the attack, more than 2000 contracts betting that the stock would go down were purchased, 90 times more in one day than in three weeks. When the markets reopened, United stock dropped, the price of the contracts soared, and someone may have made a lot of money fast.
Dylan Ratigan: $180,000 turns into $2.4 million when that plane hits the World Trade Center.
VO: It’s almost the same story with American Airlines.
Dylan Ratigan: That’s a five fold increase in the value of what was a $337,000 trade on Monday.
Antonio Mora: All of a sudden becomes, what?
Dylan Ratigan: $1.8 million.
VO: And there’s much more, including an extraordinarily high number of bets against Morgan Stanley and Marsh McLennan, two of the World Trade Centers biggest tenants.
Antonio Mora: Could this be a coincidence?
Dylan Ratigan: This would be one of the most extraordinary coincidences in the history of mankind, if it was a coincidence.
Jonathan Winer: It is absolutely unprecedented to see cases of insider trading covering the entire world, from Japan to the United States and North America to Europe.
