JP Morgan traders convicted of manipulating gold and silver prices for 8+ years using spoofing β€” documented evidence
🟒 CONFIRMED

For years, silver and gold bugs were mocked for claiming JP Morgan was suppressing precious metal prices. In 2020, JPMorgan admitted to committing wire fraud and paid a record $920 million criminal penalty. Multiple traders were convicted for 'spoofing' -- placing thousands of fake orders to manipulate gold, silver, platinum, and palladium futures from 2008 to 2016. The DOJ called it a 'massive, multiyear scheme to manipulate the market.'
