He and half his administration and their families, who bought dollar futures at 11 pesos - and then devalued the currency from 10 to 14 by decree in a single day. Mrs. Kirchner could have very easily - but did not (in fact she lost money by keeping her peso deposits in pesos).

It's akin to Tom Price's binge buying of certain medical stocks, just days before sneaking provisions in the budget that would benefit those same firms - except of course Price's insider trading didn't tank the economy the way Macri's did.

I appreciate your illustrative comparison. Very helpful.
