FBI Director Kash Patel waited six months to disclose a six-figure stock purchase in a company that does millions of dollars in business with his own Justice Department \u2014 a delay one watchdog said broke federal law, according to federal records reviewed by NOTUS.<\/p>\n

NOTUS reported that Patel bought between $100,001 and $250,000 in MicroStrategy stock on Nov. 21 but didn’t tell federal regulators until May 26 \u2014 six months later.<\/p>\n

The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act requires senior officials to report stock trades over $1,000 within 45 days.<\/p>\n

Patel told ethics officials he “inadvertently omitted” the trade from a previous filing.<\/p>\n

“That’s violating the law \u2014 no other way to put it,” said Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette, acting vice president of policy and government affairs at the nonpartisan watchdog Project on Government Oversight.<\/p>\n

“I continue to believe that Director Patel is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing conflicts of interest,” Deputy Assistant Attorney General William Taylor wrote in a May 28 letter to the Office of Government Ethics.<\/p>\n

An FBI official said the late disclosure was “not realized and unintentional.”<\/p>\n

MicroStrategy \u2014 which bills itself as a “Bitcoin Treasury Company” \u2014 has done millions of dollars in business with the Justice Department, the FBI’s parent agency.<\/p>\n

The FBI also investigates cryptocurrency fraud.<\/p>\n

“Crypto Fraudsters have been scamming and taking advantage of the America people for too long. No more!” Patel wrote on X in June.<\/p>\n

In May 2025, however, Patel bought up to $50,000 in Krispy Kreme stock while the FBI was investigating a ransomware group that had breached the doughnut chain’s data.<\/p>\n

Before taking the job, he held between $1 million and $5 million in Elite Depot stock, the parent company of Chinese fast-fashion giant Shein, raising conflict-of-interest concerns given Shein’s ties to China.<\/p>\n
