Andrew Maguire (Whistleblower) exposes Comex silver manipulation.
Bill Murphy, Chairman of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee delivers his testimony about gold price suppression to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on 3/25/10.
For any long term purchaser of silver, there is no agency more important than the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or the CFTC. The CFTC is charged with ensuring that the futures markets are trading fairly at all times and investigating manipulative trades and fraud within the trading system. Now more than ever, the CFTC is critically important in investigating banks like JP Morgan and their roles in manipulating market orders.
Whistle Blowing on Futures Manipulation
At the center of the investigation into manipulation is Andrew Maguire, who in November 2009 contacted the CFTC to expose front-line JP Morgan traders for market manipulation. Maguire claims that he had personally spoken to several JP Morgan futures traders, who alleged the firm manipulates the silver market and makes billions of dollars annually by pushing the market in its favor.
This comes with little surprise to those watching the silver market, as for years on end, the number of shorts in the market has long outpaced the amount of silver that is believed to have ever been mined. This type of naked shorting allows firms like JP Morgan and others to flood the market with silver contracts and drive down the price, allowing profits to be pocketed on derivative-style bets made on other “off the book” markets where no physical metals are traded.
In addition, firms engaged in this activity can make a fortune in stocks, selling off shares of miners as the price of silver dips.
