Key points:
- Eye’s investigation points to an insider trading network receiving data from US presidential aides.
- Zach Witkoff, Chase Herro, and Donald Trump’s older sons may have been involved in the scheme.
- Bitcoin OG increased its short position on BTC to $607 million, coinciding with the market crash following Trump’s tariff announcements.
On-chain researcher Eye has published a series of articles claiming that the activities of major Bitcoin whale OG may be linked to an insider trading network operating within the US White House.
Eye reports that “Garrett Jin,” previously considered a key figure in the operation, is likely a frontman through whom the real insiders operate. According to sources, these participants receive confidential information from US presidential aides even before official announcements.
“You would never expose the person you get the sensitive information from that allows you to make hundreds of millions <…> The crucial information <…> most likely comes from a group of insiders who have long been exploiting confidential information from the White House,” Eye wrote.

The players and the mechanism
The investigation names Zach Witkoff and Chase Herro, who allegedly coordinated the network of insiders, as well as Donald Trump’s eldest sons, who allegedly participated in the transactions. According to the author, the group received advance notice of upcoming White House measures, opened positions using leverage, and profited from market fluctuations.

Eye claims that sources within the administration passed information to the group, which shared it with select participants in the crypto market. This information allowed them to open trades just before the official announcements were published, resulting in millions in profits.

The same trader previously transferred $5 billion from BTC to ETH and, according to analysts, earned over $180 million during the last market crash.
Eye also does not rule out that some of the channels through which information flows are controlled by Chinese financial interests linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
