Surprise Trader walks off with millions in profits from $ETRN call options

Post the debt ceiling agreement, natural gas pipeline company, Equitrans Midstream Corp, received the funds it needed to complete one of its long-delayed projects.
Incidentally, prior to the agreement, an anonymous trader bought 100,000 call options of $ETRN stock, racking profits in millions in just 5 days.

This trader turned $2 million into $20 million (no typo, ha!). May 24, 11:18 - 11:24am, a trader loads up $ETRN $8 Oct calls. May 27, debt deal passes, with a surprise pipeline for $ETRN. The contracts rallied +1000% This is why a Congressional trading ban will never work.
