Think of how much those options would have been worth if Trump had died.
I bet the company wouldn't have claimed the put trade was a mistake if Trump did die. I heard the trade value would have been a billion dollars. But Trump lived and instead of being on the hook, they claim 'whoopsie, mistake!'. Why cant all traders who lose give the same excuse?
It's possible it was a filing error. I do not know if that is something you can lie about. It seems like it should be able to be proven one way or the other.
IMHO zero chance it was an error.
