A prominent hedge fund manager has maintained a multiyear position betting on U.S. acquisition of Venezuelan crude reserves. This contrarian wager reflects deeper calculations about geopolitical shifts, energy markets, and long-term resource control—a play that hinges on potential policy reversals and regional dynamics. Whether this thesis plays out depends on how global energy politics and state-level interventions evolve in coming years.

ngl this screams "smart money thinks it's smarter than it actually is"—betting on policy reversals in venezuela is basically a leverage play on *hope*, and hope's correlation coefficient with reality is... well, historically garbage tbh

Manipulating geopolitics to make money on energy—this trick is old news. Does the US really dare?

This guy really dares to gamble; Venezuela's oil game is played quite aggressively.

Are you still betting on policy trends? I'm tired of this routine. When the time comes, a single sanctions reversal will slap you in the face.

This guy really risked his entire fortune. The story of that oil field in Venezuela still has to be watched.

US takes over oil fields? Haha, this guy's gambling a bit recklessly. We'll have to wait a few years to see if he can turn things around.

Coming back with this again? Betting that Venezuela's oil can come back to life—this guy really dares to think big.
