Didn't some guy buy up a bunch of the rights to tariff refunds at discount hoping for this?

It's more than one guy, there's a whole industry around it.

I think the most famous one is a person working in government or closely related to someone who is. (drawing a blank on the name right now)

Cantor Fitzgerald, run by (Commerce Secretary, Epstein neighbor, and island visitor) Lutnick's sons. It should be noted Lutnick himself was a big proponent of tariffs to replace "some" income taxes -- just not your own.

>Public reporting indicates that Cantor has offered companies the opportunity to trade their legal claim to a future tariff refund in exchange for twenty to thirty percent of the duties the company paid.
