JPMorgan traders systematically manipulated gold and precious metals markets for years — convicted in 2022 — documented evidence
🟢 CONFIRMED

In 2022, a federal jury convicted JPMorgan's former head of precious metals trading and two colleagues of racketeering, conspiracy, and market manipulation (spoofing) spanning 2008-2016. JPMorgan had previously paid $920 million in fines. Prosecutors proved traders placed thousands of fake orders to manipulate gold, silver, platinum, and palladium prices. The DOJ called JPMorgan's precious metals desk 'a criminal enterprise within the bank.'
