Andrew Maguire,  a British national who had testified before the CFTC in a public forum about the manipulation of silver a few years ago, has leveled a serious charge against the bank JP Morgan and the CFTC.

Maguire says that he knows that two JPM employees have come forward as whistle blowers, and have sought legal aid and protection, alleging that they have testimony and evidence that J P Morgan has willfully manipulated the gold and silver markets.

I do not know Andrew Maguire. I do not know if what he is saying is accurate or not.

But this ought not to be a matter of 'belief' or uncertainty.   It is a matter of evidence and law and there are people in Washington who are paid to be informed about this on the public's behalf.

After the stunning scandal that emerged in the wake of Bernie Madoff's confessing to one of the largest Ponzi schemes in history, it came to light that the SEC had long been suppressing investigation into allegations of his crimes, and was ignoring evidence which had been supplied to them over a period of years by Harry Markopolos.

And now we have what could be a similar situation. 

Andrew Maguire claims that he has supplied evidence of market manipulation to the CFTC for some years, and further and even more damningly, two JPM employees have come forward and made similar allegations, with evidence that says they are correct.

I think it is not possible for the CFTC and the Obama Administration to continue to ignore such public allegations. The CFTC may use the shield of an 'ongoing investigation' since they have been looking into charges about this matter in the silver market going on five years now.  They have missed the date by which they promised results.

To continue to ignore this widespread and public questioning of the integrity of the markets that affect the whole world is not acceptable.

I am a little surprised that the appropriate committees in Congress have not invited Bart Chilton and chairman Gary Gensler to appear before them, and ask if they have any such evidence, and if these allegations are substantial.   Would this be Darrell Issa's Committe on Reform or the Banking Committee of which Senator Elizabeth Warren is a member.

Here is Congressman Darrell Issa's contact information:

DC Fax: 202-225-3303

Here is Senator Elizabeth Warren's contact information:
DC Phone: 202-224-4543
DC Fax: 202-228-2072

Since JP Morgan has been under investigation for manipulation in the energy markets, and since there have been repeated scandals in the willful manipulation by banks and traders in LIBOR and key derivatives metrics, I think that this cannot be dismissed out of hand as a conspiracy. If there is evidence the people deserve to know it.

I suggest that you contact your Congressmen and Senators asking them to support such an inquiry.   You can find your congressional contact information here.

If you are not a US citizen, I suggest you contact your domestic representative and/or the US embassy in your country and express your concern over these charges.  Or perhaps you can drop an email to Senator Warren who seems to take these sorts of issues very seriously. At the least they could send a letter to the commissioner on behalf of the public and ask about this for the record.

Here is the link to Maguire's charges.  You may wish to include this link in your message.
Morgan Whistleblowers Allege Bank Manipulates Gold and Silver

In a stunning development, two JP Morgan whistleblowers have confessed that the bank manipulates the gold and silver markets. This is truly a shocking admission by the courageous JP Morgan whistleblowers. In a blockbuster King World News interview, London metals trader Andrew Maguire told KWN that the two JP Morgan employees came directly to him with hard evidence that the bank was actively manipulating the gold and silver markets.

This is a truly catastrophic event for JP Morgan, which up to now has denied manipulating these markets. Below Maguire takes KWN readers around the world on a trip down the rabbit hole as he discusses how he led the two JP Morgan employees to turn over the evidence to a law firm which specializes in high profile whistleblowers, and also to the CFTC. According to Maguire, the CFTC has virtually buried this information. Is this a cover up, or the next LIBOR scandal about to be exposed? Below is what Maguire had to say in this blockbuster interview...

Do we really need more evidence? Co-ordinated computer trading attacks in the middle of the night. Falling PM prices despite unprecedented money printing and insatiable physical demand. Manipulation in the PM markets is no longer talked about as an idea promoted by a lunatic fringe. Many mainstream commentators now seem to grudgingly accept that it is likely...especially in the wake of LIBOR fixing and heavily propagandised GDP, inflation and unemployment figures.

The point is what will happen next? Even if irrefutable evidence emerges, that the markets are rigged with the full blessing of the Fed, the Bank of England and their respective governments, I suspect that (much like Nixon telling the world they could no longer claim gold in return for dollars...) the US government will simply fold its arms and say 'So what? What are you going to do about it?' Or they'll claim that 'extraordinary measures' were needed to protect global financial institutions from disaster and it was all done in the name of national security.

Regardless, whichever line they take their excuses will be irrelevant. They've gambled away the family silver and gold. When fractional reserve banking and the derivatives house of paper finally buckles under its own weight, and we're wondering where all the wealth went, we'll look east, and finally notice the Chinese dragon smiling contentedly on a gigantic pile of gold!
