Market speculation links Leopold Aschenbrenner to $96M AI stock options bet

Traders suspect AI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner is behind a $96 million purchase of call options for Micron (MU), SanDisk, Intel (INTC), and Marvell (MRVL), all expiring on October 2. While SEC filings have not confirmed the buyer, the trade size and focus on AI-related leverage align with Aschenbrenner's previous investment patterns.
