The court filings shed light on the covert operations of Jump Trading, which allegedly used its trading power to prop up the UST project without any public disclosure.

The SEC has now directly confirmed that Jump secretly bailed out the UST project, propping up the peg and prolonging the Ponzi without any public disclosure whatsoever. Jump made over $1b in profits through their dealings with TFL and Do Kwon. https:\/\/t.co\/SGQwFBppoe<\/a><\/p>\n
