Thoughts on our circumstances...: How do you want your silver on the 1st of May?

Editor's note: Those invested in silver and gold and investment analysts have known that HSBC bank has been rigging the silver market for years accused of gaining billions of dollars. HSBC has likely been rigging the silver market for more than 160 years with regulators knowing the roughly $30 billion (worth more today) silver market has been rigged for years. HSBC has been able to avoid lawsuits over the years (it's always "allegedly" rigging) for rigging the silver market so yes, it has been an "intense five years" for HSBC's CEO who resigned. And the CEO of HSBC resigned just before HSBC finds themselves with a massive silver short position having to deliver 93% of the physical silver on the COMEX on the 1st of the May. Do you know what we think? HSBC harvested the west is now moving east.

REPORT: Barclays, HSBC, and UBS were allegedly involved in rigging the silver market

By Will Martin | December 8, 2016

Major banks including HSBC, UBS, and Barclays were allegedly involved in the rigging of the silver markets, according to a legal filing in New York on Wednesday, Bloomberg reports.

Bringing AI to your data can help your organization increase control and minimize risk. Here's how.

Legal documents presented in the filing allegedly provide "smoking gun" evidence that banks worked together to manipulate the silver markets, and relate to a federal lawsuit filed in 2014 by those that bought or sold futures contracts.

"Plaintiffs are now able to plead with direct, 'smoking gun' evidence,' including secret electronic chats involving silver traders and submitters across a number of financial institutions, a multi-year, well-coordinated and wide-ranging conspiracy to rig the prices," the filing says.

The alleged evidence provided by the unnamed plaintiffs comes from a series of documents handed over by Deutsche Bank in an earlier suit over their alleged involvement in rigging the silver market. In October, Deutsche Bank settled a suit related to its alleged involvement in silver price manipulating agreeing to pay $38 million.

According to Bloomberg, the plaintiffs allege that the documents "show traders and submitters coordinating trades in advance of a daily phone call, manipulating the spot market for silver, conspiring to fix the spread on silver offered to customers and using illegal strategies to rig prices."
