What will prevent profitting from a bailout?

[Brian4Liberty]

Not sure if this has been discussed anywhere, but if a trader knew that a bailout would pass, couldn't they buy up a lot of these "worthless" derivatives for pennies on the dollar, and then sell them to the Treasury for full price (dollar for dollar) as part of the bailout?

I wonder if they put in rules to prevent that? Or is it a dirty little secret that they were all planning on profitting from?

Did anyone read the full text of the Bill?

This may also be the root cause of the "seizure" in the market of these derivatives. Someone would buy them at a discount, but anyone still holding them refuses to sell, gambling on getting full value from the government in the bailout.
