  • Moderna's phishing-timed crash: Phase III cancer vaccine trial (paired with Keytruda) showed 42% relative risk reduction vs. 49% in Phase II, missing elevated expectations; shares fell 26% intraday after Oncology Central leaked embargoed data two days early.
  • Retail trader's lucky timing: Influencer "Togi" flipped ~$500k from Moderna calls to puts hours before the leak-driven crash, attributing the trade partly to literal dreams, not disclosed analysis.
