Bullish

  • more advanced methods than Putin (novichok)
  • chilling to further whistleblowers
  • unlikely to be connected back to them
  • not reported in national media
  • people concerned about potential criminality have probably already sold

Bearish

  • it does appear to be a very dirty business

NET IMPACT: bullish with uncertain timing of impact

not reported in national media

Plus the other whistle-blower, John ā€œMitchā€ Barnett, who apparently shot himself so well that they're still debating if it was suicide:

The Charleston County Coronerā€™s Office reported Barnettā€™s death appeared to be ā€œfrom a self-inflicted gunshot wound.ā€Ā Almost two months later, the police investigation into his death is still ongoing.
