Corruption Risk · 4-Vector Breakdown
Corruption isn't just trade-based. Here's the four ways political pressure can flow, scored independently from the public record.
Vector 1 · Personal Enrichment trade-based
Senator Cruz's disclosed trading activity is minimal, with only 22 total trades over the reporting period and $2.73M in volume, concentrated almost entirely in Goldman Sachs (GS) within the finance sector. The data shows zero late filings and an average disclosure gap of 14.7 days, suggesting passive or advisor-managed activity rather than active personal trading. There is no sector anomaly to report, as the politician has only 11 trades in the 5y aggregate stats with zero overall win rate, though sector_expertise indicates a 100% win rate in finance on 8 trades, but this is based on a small sample and not a ≥50-trade anomaly.
