Is it possible to trace this stuff back to individuals? Would love AI to do that.

Since it's commodities it would be the CFTC, but it would be trivial since brokers are required by law to collect KYC information on all futures trades and anyone holding positions above the Large Trader Reporting threshold (a few hundred contracts for crude) is already disclosed to the CFTC by name. 7,990 lots of Brent in a one minute window is enormously above that threshold.

I would love it if real people did that, and then acted on what they found with moral integrity.

Yes, if the SEC decides to they can trace it back to specific orders.

Will the SEC decide to?
