This is collusion between the offices of POTUS, SCOTUS, and corporate friends that looks like insider trading, from a zoomed in lens.

You're saying Trump doesn't want tariffs? And the SCOTUS judges who went on record supporting executive powers to tariff was all just a big insider trading scam? And corporations were willing to risk a hundred of billions in tariffs fees on the odds it might get refunded just because some finance company might get a small cut of refunds?

To clarify, POTUS being short for the group POTUS in-crowd of the actual POTUS and cabinet, who act in sync.

I'm saying the public tide shifted and the legal reality set in that they weren't going to get sympathetic rulings...which they don't care about anyway since it's not their money and the tariff threats already had any desired effects sought.

POTUS was floated the idea that they could enrich themselves, so the decision was made, communicated to the Secretary of Commerce and to the SCOTUS judges.

Nothing to do with them. Narcissists don't worry about the future of others, except as a narrative to sell their personal ambitions.

Some people don't believe the administration is that flippant. I think it's obvious they are having fun.

Quite an imagination you have there. Too bad it doesn’t intersect with reality.
