Leo Emil Wanta, born 1940, is an American businessman who claims to be the Reagan-appointed trustee of potentially trillions of dollars, the result of an arbitrage scheme to sink the Soviet economy.
According to whether multiple foreign exchange markets are involved, arbitrage transactions can generally be divided into direct arbitrage and indirect arbitrage.
Arbitrage refers to the activity of using the exchange rate difference between two or more different markets to buy a currency in the low price market and sell it in the high price market to earn profits.
