Summary

  • The author claims to have identified a pattern predicting a catastrophic magnitude 9.3+ earthquake in Japan, based on a Twitter account that forecasts earthquakes, and draws parallels to the 2004 Indian Ocean quake.
  • Their thesis is that shorting $AFL (Aflac, a major insurer in Japan) will yield massive profits when the earthquake hits and causes enormous claims, potentially also "saving the world."
  • The "DD" relies on cherry-picked data, visual pattern matching, and an amateur interpretation of seismology; it is pure speculation and not grounded in any reputable scientific method.
