Apparently, Kashya Hildebrand bought ~$500,000 when she shorted the CHF. This relatively small transaction netted the Hildebrand family only ~$50,000 in less than one month. Being that the amount is so small, the conclusion is that nothing nefarious has taken place.They will watch over and protect each other, because only they truly understand their problems. If I embezzled $50,000 from a company in a month, I'm pretty sure they would conclude something nefarious had taken place.[1]
Ms. Hildebrand is the wife of the head of the Swiss National Bank. He is paid $950,000 a year. Let's assume, implausibly, that that is the extent of their yearly income. So she increased by 63% the family's monthly income based on these trades. Not bad.
[1] Yes I realize embezzlement and insider trading are not equivalent.
