Bitcoins US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been accused of indulging in insider trading by Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who claimed the senior politician’s nearly 17,000% returns — which outperformed even Warren Buffett — is statistically impossible.
Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican Congresswoman from Florida, has accused House speaker and Democratic Party leader Nancy Pelosi of engaging in insider trading to make money in the stock market.
Speaking at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest on 20 December, Luna stated that Nancy Pelosi’s investment returns of around 17,000% have outperformed even Warren Buffett and claimed that this “statistically does not happen”.
Bitcoins What has Anna Paulina Luna alleged?
In the minute long clip posted to social media, from Luna’s address at the event, the politician accused Pelosi of engaging in insider trading and called the senior leader, “the REAL ‘Wolf of Wall Street’”.
Notably, Pelosi has stated that she is not seeking re-election and will retire from office in 2026 end when her term ends.
“Nancy Pelosi, by the time that she announced that she was no longer seeking office, had outperformed Warren Buffett. We’ve nicknamed her the REAL ‘Wolf of Wall Street.’ She’s currently outperformed the S&P and made over 17,000% returns on her stock investment. That statistically does not happen unless you are engaged in insider trading,” Luna alleged.
Earlier in November, Republican National Committee spokesperson Kiersten Pels made a similar allegation. “Nancy Pelosi’s true legacy is becoming the most successful insider trader in American history. If anyone else had turned $7,85,000 into $133.7 million with better returns than Warren Buffett, they’d be retiring behind bars,” Pels said.
