As expected, the two tiered justice system that has replaced Liberty in the United States has rendered unto Caesar.
JP Morgan’s manipulation of the silver market is not about the price of silver: it is about control. But the cracks are starting to show as even Congress is now taking on the Dimon Empire.

JP MORGAN CLEARED OF CONSPIRACY “TO DRIVE DOWN SILVER PRICES”
JP Morgan Chase & Co won their case of a nationwide investors’ lawsuit accusing them of conspiring to drive down silver prices. U.S. District Judge Robert Patterson in Manhattan said the investors, who bought and sold COMEX silver futures and options contracts, failed to show that JP Morgan manipulated prices, by creating long short positions that were not in sync with market events at the time period. The judge acknowledged that the firm could influence prices, but said that it was not proven that the bank “intended to cause artificial prices to exist” and acted accordingly. The plaintiffs had nearly 43 complaints filed from 2010-2011, which accused banks of profiteering in over $100,000,000 by illegally manipulating silver prices. The lawsuits against major Wall Street firms were consolidated, naming JP Morgan and 20 unnamed individuals as defendants. The complaint had sought triple damages for what it saw as antitrust violations in jiggering silver prices from 2007-2010, including through alleged “fake” trades during low market volumes.
