JD you got that backwards, your projecting again, its the leftists doing the violence, rioting, arson and looting, this is a fact and at this point undeniable.
The Ridiculous Choice*
I thought I'd seen insane in 2008, and then again in 2012 and 2016.
In 2008 we elected a Black Man as President who had exactly zero qualifications to be in that office and, by the black letter of the Constitution, was ineligible. On the manifest weight of the evidence he bought, with other people's money, his Senate and Illinois Senate seat. In other words he bribed his way into office with other people's money, which means that it was not his ideas being put forward, it was whoever funded him. It matters not whether he presented a fraudulent birth certificate which, by the way, the evidence is that he did. This is the same man who (like Senator Warren) claimed to be something he was not whenever it suited him, including to get preferential treatment in college. Then he sealed the records that would prove all of this one way or another, a blatantly and outrageously illegal act available to no common person, and we let him get away with that too. Leave the rest aside because it doesn't matter. You are selecting who you would like to be the person who, if they're going to lie, will do so in the best interest of the United States population not their personal best interest.
In 2012, after he gave away several trillion of your dollars to the industry that has been violating US Anti-Trust law (15 USC Chapter 1) for decades, got sued over it twice, lost both cases at the Supreme Court and yet has not been prosecuted once nor has any of it been stopped, we re-elected that same ******* for another four years.
I don't recall anyone who got assaulted or their business burned over any of that, however -- and make no mistake as millions of Americans were in fact victimized and continue to be screwed by said medical monster on a daily basis. Where was the burning of businesses and looting the local Nike store? Today people do that when someone draws a knife. advances on police for several hundred yards refusing to drop it and then charges one of the cops with said knife and gets (justifiably!) shot.
In 2016 one of the chief architects of that theft by the medical industry ran for office against a bull****ting Commercial Real Estate developer who, like basically all of them, strong-arms people and structures things so that he can blow up anything that's not working without winding up penniless in the street. I don't fault him for doing it, by the way, including the shenanigans with Deutsche Bank and the Chicago Trump Tower, on which there is plenty of documentation. Why not? Because this was not either party's first rodeo and they both entered into those transactions willingly; Deutsche Bank knew how Trump behaved (Atlantic City anyone?) and Trump knew how Deutsche Bank behaved too. Never mind that Black Jesus could have had his DOJ take Deutsche Bank out back and shoot them in the corporate head for their role in the housing bubble blow-up and resulting mass-foreclosures with fraudulent chains of title which they "reconstructed" (that's not legal, by the way) after they (and many other financial institutions) literally destroyed the originals on purpose so as to make impossible real audits of what paperwork borrowers submitted and what the banks made up before securitizing the paper. Do you really believe that an industry that has for several hundred years relied on hard, documentary records to enforce recourse suddenly got "sloppy" or did they do it on purpose to evade a criminal standard of proof after they knowingly sold trash to others as alleged "good investments" and by doing so ruined the global economy? But no! Black Jesus didn't blackball that foreign corporation for their part in screwing Americans blind; in point of fact he took one of the chief "see no evil, hear no evil, stop no evil" architects of that bull**** from the NY Fed (Geithner) and made him Treasury Secretary.
You want to bitch about Trump and his financial shenanigans? Point your ire at Black Jesus who made possible every last bit of it not only continuing but ramping up on the day he took the Oath of Office when he had every legal right to stop all of it by destroying the bank responsible for not only that specific load of bull**** but a huge part of the 2008 blowup. Again: Barack Obama intentionally refused to do so and let literally all of the crooks, which number in the thousands, walk away scot free and many of them not only kept plenty of stolen money but Obama and his administration bailed them out and gave them even more money -- your money. While you're at it point your ire at Nancy Piglosi and ChuckyBoy Schumer too, both of whom are still in office and between them wrote and passed the tax law changes which GAVE Trump a perfectly-legal retroactive $70 million refund from the IRS.
If you demand that no bank may have an armed guard nor any cameras and the cops may not show up if the burglar alarm goes off there would be a line out the front door of every bank in the nation and virtually everyone in line would be both packing a pistol and brandishing a hold-up note. Duh!
Now, running against said CRE huckster and self-promoter we have an obviously mentally-compromised old man who doesn't even know who the President is or what State he's "campaigning in", with his wife telling him it's not Bush while on camera. He's had at least three strokes that have been admitted to. His son was thrown out of the military for failing a drug test and rather than get his crap together he not only apparently continues to abuse hard drugs but has a thing for walking around naked in front of under-age girls in his extended family. What has his family done about this? Nothing, despite irrefutable evidence they know about it they've tried to cover it up and allow said young woman to be screwed, perhaps literally, rather than send the cops over to apply a little Graybar Motel reformation to his "lifestyle." Never mind nearly-irrefutable evidence that he's been taking bribes from a Communist nation that was the source of Covid19 either through rank recklessness, filthy 3rd century "wet market" practices or perhaps even something worse while Joe, the candidate, appears to have at least known all about it and might have personally profited from it.
That's right -- we have a man running for President who, the evidence says, screwed his own ****ed-up kid by turning him into a money mule peddling influence in multiple foreign nations, all of which by the way is extraordinarily illegal.
Junkies will do all sorts of unlawful things because their mind is basically gone; the drugs are all they give a crap about. Having seen it in my own family I know damn well what happens and exploiting it, which the evidence says Joe Biden did with the full knowledge and support of his immediate family including his wife is Dante's 9th Circle of Hell level evil.
Do I need to remind you that this particular foreign nation, beyond being Communists, also enjoys running literal concentration camps in their own country, never mind using near-literal slave labor and wild-eyed intellectual property theft as competitive weapons against us?
You don't think this is a singular instance, do you? What, Ukraine and China is not enough? How about right here in America? Is the Biden family a corrupt, serial criminal enterprise? If you'll exploit your own junkie son how about trying to scam other businesspeople across the country? And when they sue you? At random threatening mail with blood-soaked foreign currency shows up at their house? Really?
Shall we talk about Covid19 a bit in respect to both of these clowns? We knew in March that this virus was much more deadly to seniors than others, and that among young people it rarely killed anyone. In fact, if you're young dying is so rare that among those under 19 only three in one hundred thousand who get it die. This age cohort comprises 28.6% of the American population of roughly 330 million, or about 94 million people.
If we deliberately infected all of them a grand total of 2,831 kids would be dead but we would have population immunity and the threat of logarithmic spikes in cases would have been over months ago.
More to the point your Grandmother would still be alive.
Instead we closed schools, bars, raves, threaten kids who are in college and go to a kegger, break up parties and even arrest the people going to them while issuing "mask and distancing" orders, all of which are designed to and do decrease social interaction between the very group of people who the virus, statistically-speaking, cannot kill. And our media grabs the handful -- literal handful -- of young people who have succumbed and plasters them all over social media and the news to stir up fear and further intentionally shift infections to older people -- which damn well ought to get them indicted.
But never forget that Donald J ****ing TRUMP made all of that possible and stuck his Presidential Seal on it by putting Fauci, Birx, Redfield and everyone else involved on his so-called "Task Force" and he directly empowered all of it by signing Executive Orders and paying the states to take actions that disproportionately shift infections from young people to old people. I remind you that he has reversed exactly zero of these orders nor has he disbanded anything or fired anyone despite his very own CDC publishing the data above proving that what we did caused 200,000 people to be dead and millions to be unemployed.
Then Trump went even further, along with the states, and in several states sat back and let Governors deliberately force infected people into high-risk conjugal living situations (nursing homes) where the risk of dying was 1,800 times higher than for that school-age kid.
If you or I did something intentional that multiplied our risk of killing someone by 1,800 times, and tens of thousands of people did die as a consequence, we'd get the Federal Needle for it -- and deserve it too. There would be a ticker tape parade for the cops who caught you and strapped your ass in on the gurney.
Well, Governors Cuomo, Witmer, Wolf and others?
Oh, and let's not leave off Governors DeSatan, Lee and myriad others. In fact would you please identify one Governor who did not close schools and discourage young people to go out and do what young people do? Governor Noem may not have instituted a mask mandate but she did shut down the schools and scared the kids, so throw her ass on the gurney and give her the federal needle too because she caused a large number of those who have died in her state to expire just like all of the rest.
We are talking about comparative manslaughter totals here folks because all of these *******s are guilty of the crime.
Every one of them.
Where is Mr. Law And Order and why aren't all of those *******s sitting on death row right now?
How about Biden and Covid19? He has no more recognition of the mathematical facts than Trump does, or doesn't care. He'd go even further through arm-twisting to issue more lockdowns and mandates. He has said so publicly, and when a politician tells you that he intends to kill your Grandmother you damn well better believe him. Given the level of cognition Biden has I'll go along with an insanity defense for him -- provided he gets a permanent Rubber Room assignment along with his Cum Dumpster running mate and Piglosi. Otherwise they can all be strapped to a gurney and get the needle for mass-manslaughter as well.
Don't even get me started about people like Vanderbilt's John Graves who just put forward another lie about "masks." He knows he's lying too, because the data he is using is what I'm using from the same source, the Tennessee Department of Health -- and he's deliberately ignoring anything that doesn't fit his thesis. Like these four counties, all next door to each other and collaring Knoxville. One has a mandate and has had since early July the other three do not. Which one, from this data, has the mandate? Did it do anything?
When do we start locking up those who run notorious, public frauds and generate more than 200,000 corpses as a direct and foreseeable consequence? These mother****ers killed more people in nine months than four Vietnams! When does someone with a pair of balls lease dozens of Cat D8s and turn them over to pissed-off Americans so they can level so-called "institutions of higher learning" and "policy organizations" like IHME that put out deliberate, rank lies and cause people to die by the tens of thousands as a consequence?
Said pissed-off Americans can practice their bulldozer-driving with the same sort of accuracy that our so-called "medical universities" practice when it comes to public health.
Knox County has UT and has made a lot of noise about breaking up keggers and stopping college kids from doing what college kids do. Said college kids (and plenty of school-age kids too) have gotten Covid. Guess how many went to the hospital, say much less died thus far? As far as I'm able to determine the number is zero. Is this surprising when the CDC's claimed fatality rate for that cohort is 0.00003 and 0.0002? May I remind you that 0.0002 is an expected death rate of two in ten thousand and that Knox County has reported roughly 12,000 cases in total; they've yet to reach 5,000 college student cases yet, so that none have died is unremarkable. You're much more-likely to be killed in a car wreck at that age, probably associated with drinking, or through violence (e.g. gunshot) than by Covid19. In fact I'll bet at least one student there has this year by now.
You think this article is all bull**** and a fantasy-laden rant by some dude who just used to run an Internet company? Look at Japan then come back here and grovel for forgiveness. Japan did exactly what I have advocated since March and what we should have done -- no mandates but they told people to be adults, and people did what people do there. Japan is a nation where they actually wash their hands, don't "welcome" tens of millions of turd-world invaders and then bless them by forgiving every lawless act, including but certainly not limited to raping and killing A Girl in Iowa. (You do remember her and how fast that evaporated from the news, right?) Yes, lots of people wear masks; it's a cultural thing if you think you might have a bug -- you mark yourself as biologically dangerous. Such does not stop influenza deaths, by the way -- Japan has twice our flu fatality rate per 100,000 people.
Did all those masks stop Covid19? Nope. A fairly-recent serological survey strongly suggests 50% of those in Tokyo have had the bug! That means that well over 100 people got Covid19 in Japan for every person who they count as a "case" -- and the virus harmed almost none of them.
If we had done here what they did there we would have about 5,000 dead Americans and the threat of overload of hospitals and similar would be long over. We'd have never lost our normal way of life and nearly all of the 200,000+ who have died would still be alive.
But there would have been no industry created to sell tests and headstones, never mind the several trillion dollars given away to this constituency and that with only a tiny bit of it going to actual individuals. Then there is the nascent industry forming right now under the government's protective wing which will use fear ginned up from lies to sell annual shots of a vaccine that will be unproved for years and will provide them a permanent revenue stream for a product of dubious value at best.
In point of fact some of my earlier estimates were that in China and other "initially infected" nations there were somewhere between 100 and 300 asymptomatic infections for each "case" reported. These would have naturally skewed toward younger people by a huge percentage and if we had let it happen this would be over.
Do remember that I have been calling bull**** on all of this since the so-called "15 days to slow the spread", arguing, now proved correctly-so, that this was an intentional lie. This entire nation should have risen in revolt immediately on the first day of April. Had we done so most of those dead would be alive today.
Young people by definition are more-social and have more "exposures" than old people. The average 10 year old kid in school takes dozens of exposures to other kids before he gets to school while riding the bus and then takes a couple hundred more between being in class, the lunch room, gym class and recess. The average college student takes a hundred or more exposures between their Friday classes and the chow hall and then goes to a kegger Friday night and takes a couple hundred more in the hope of having a really, really intimate exposure risk by taking a cute girl home with him that night.
Your average dude like me in middle to early older ages takes a half-dozen exposures a day because I go to the pub and have a beer or two. The average Granny takes 2 or 3 exposures because she might play bridge with three friends or needs to stop at the grocery store.
ALL constraints -- from lockdowns to mask orders to closed businesses to banning college keggers, raves and concerts along with any other sort of restriction on social interaction shifts cases from those who are naturally more interactive with other people in a "more dirty" and at closer range (the extreme is of course a passel of toddlers playing in a sandbox or at a daycare!) to older, more-morbid individuals. 60 year old people do not go into the mosh pit, say much less attend a rave in the first place. 22 year old young adults do. Ditto for nightclubs and packed-to-the-walls bars. Even more-stupid is any sort of "protective measure" in schools like closing them, mandating masks, closing lunch rooms, erecting plexiglass on the desks and banning recess. This is closely-followed in stupidity by mandating masks in the general public because it inhibits the much-closer social interaction that young people engage in much more-frequently than older people and in addition for shift workers and school kids by mandating masks be worn for hours at a time you are increasing the risk of severe bacterial infections.
I remind you that bacterial pneumonia does kill young kids unlike Covid19, which rarely does.
With a virus that kills 3 in 100,000 kids but 5 in 100 grannies who do you want to take the cases that must occur to reach population suppression? You're insane to do anything that inhibits, blocks or otherwise tampers with those who are very, very unlikely to be harmed by getting this bug; every single person who gets it and survives becomes a firebreak that prevents others from having it transmitted to them.
All of those alleged "mitigations" do not mitigate anything -- they in fact kill grandmothers by the busload because every single case that a kid doesn't take and which doesn't harm him or her gets taken by his grandmother.
The "mitigations" do not just incrementally increase death -- they result in an exponential explosion of death. We have suffered several dozen times as many dead people as should have died by direct and provable consequence of these policies.
NEVER MIND THE GOVERNORS WHO INTENTIONALLY RAMMED THE BUG INTO HIGHLY-BRITTLE PEOPLE AND EXACTLY ZERO OF THEM HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND HAULED BODILY OUT OF THEIR MANSIONS STRAIGHT INTO FEDERAL "PYITA" PRISON.
WE KNEW ALL OF THIS IN MARCH AFTER KIRKLAND HAPPENED.
THESE DEATHS WERE CAUSED, NOT NATURALLY OCCURRING DUE TO A VIRUS.
I can read. Why is that you can't? Why is it that you allow the media, social media mavens and others to peddle flat-out bull**** to you on a daily basis for more than six months? Did America suddenly become 99.9% illiterate along with being innumerate? It certainly appears that way.
Your mother, if you were born before about 1990, knew all of this. There was an endemic virus that was 25 times more dangerous in older people than in children. In children it had a fatality rate not far off from Covid19. Your mother took you over to the neighbor kid's house that had said virus and infected you on purpose because by doing so she protected those adults in the community that had not had it.
The virus is called varicella and the disease Chicken Pox. I was intentionally infected when I was young, as were most other kids -- by our mothers, every one of them capable of basic arithmetic and not interested in killing their mother, unlike Fauci, Birx, the entire faculty of Vanderbilt, Governor Bill Lee, Mayor Larry Waters and both Donald Trump and Joe Biden. I remind you that every single one of those people is old enough to know ******ned well that I'm right and their mother did the right thing when she took them across the street to get the little red dots on their faces and a nasty little fever for a week. Yes, today we have a vaccine -- a fully-tested and validated vaccine. Then we did not, just as today with Covid we do not. Nobody hid in their ****ing house, closed schools for months, closed bars and restaurants, cancelled concerts -- or wore a mask.
Covid19's risk among older people is not 25 times higher -- it's over 1,000 times higher. If the risk to children was acceptable until we had a vaccine 20 years ago to protect older people from a 25 times higher risk why isn't it now when the risk is 1,000 times higher or greater?
"Wear a mask" you say?
**** YOU.
You killed your neighbor's grandmother with your mask, school closure and "scare everyone" bull**** while Jeff Bezos made another billion by exploiting that fear, *******. Never mind the testing labs are making $100 a crack for worthless tests while you can't get the CT number they're using and they appear to have been tampering with that number over time too, which is almost-certainly producing a huge number of false positives. This is in their best interest because it generates more fear, more tests and thus more business. If it winds up forcing you to quarantine for 10 days when you're not really infected that's just tough crap for you along with $100 from all of your friends you're so "kind" to name when the nice government goon comes around. Of course you cooperate with said jackass instead of telling him to go **** a goat -- right? If the labs had to pay your salary and living expenses for two weeks every time they reported a false positive you could prove with a 2-week later negative antibody test they'd stop that **** instantly so why hasn't the government mandated that be done?
You know the answer as well as I do.
All you screaming fools are lucky my mother wasn't killed by this bull**** -- she died a couple of years ago of colon cancer -- or I'd shove your mask so far up your ass you'd taste it.
What "choice" am I supposed to make this coming Tuesday? I never vote early unless I'm going to be out of town and know it. Why? Because through my life I've seen countless political candidates blow up in the last days of an election, either personally for me by taking a position I cannot vote for or through something so heinous that you might as well list Beelzebub on the ticket instead of their name. Biden has had that happen here and yet Rah-Rah Orange Man BAD so he's still on the ticket and people still think he's going to win too and by the way, Pelosi, Schumer, Hillary and the rest of the Democrat machinery all knew about his and his family's bull**** four years ago. How many of them are also on the take?
The last thing I'd like to point out is that going all the way back to the 1990s I have talked about how the government medical system is going to blow up and when it does it will hose the economy and everyone in the United States. I've written countless articles over the last decade on why you must do everything in your power to never need a single medical service because if you do you will be either dispossessed of everything you have or be denied it and die. I personally decided to quit being a fat-ass nearly 10 years ago because after Black Jesus was elected and rammed through yet another giveaway to the extortionate and felonious "medical system" in this nation it became quite clear that there was a zero probability that if I became reliant on it everything would be ok -- I would instead die slowly and horribly. Since there were things I could do that would materially change those odds, including getting rid of the extra 60lbs I was carting around, I did them. In addition to reducing the risk of needing said criminally-corrupt enterprises I'm enjoying things in my life on a daily basis that I was flatly incapable of 10 years ago.
Many people think I'm crazy. I assure you I'm not. Medicare and Medicaid have had even more damage done to them by this intentional circus of death caused by our politicians and academics who profit mightily from all of it.
In 2009 I pointed out that the reason Obamacare was rammed through was that the Medical Industry had reached the limit of being able to scam people; there simply wasn't enough money to keep paying for it and the entire edifice was teetering on the edge of collapse. Obamacare was an attempt to prevent that collapse, which would not have stopped you from being treated, but it would have put an immediate and permanent end to ripping you off wholesale.
Covid19 is just another in a long line of examples. At $100/crack you do the math on the number of tests from the Hopkins or Covid Tracking Project site to tell me how many dollars have been stolen. Leave aside everything else, such as remdesivir (large study showed it worthless, but it just got approved at $3,000/crack by the FDA!) and more and just look at the test numbers. A test that does not come back immediately, within an hour or so, is worthless to both you as a patient to interdict viral replication and from a standpoint of trying to stop transmission through tracing. Forward tracing of contacts with a virus that is not universally transmitted in some sort of linear way, which we know is the case for Covid19, is worthless; you have to trace backward and find the person who infected you, not who you might have infected when 9 times out of 10 the answer to the latter question is NOBODY!
Why? Because with a stochastic disease a backward trace is compact since it seeks only one person and whoever gave it to you is probably still giving it to other people too so finding them actually does something to slow down transmission almost 100% of the time. On the other hand forward tracing expends an enormous amount of resource since it is an exponentially-expanding problem and usually finds nothing. All of the so-called experts know this; again, it's simple High School level math.
And Japan proved it works because that's exactly what they did -- but they did not stop transmission; in fact they built immunity and thus most of the Grannies are still alive.
They just stopped the death.
The entire reason we cannot test and trace our way to a reduction in infections among those who the virus can kill while leaving everyone else alone is that we have allowed the government and medical businesses to intentionally design a testing and tracing protocol that is mathematically guaranteed to fail to do anything useful but makes everyone involved tens of millions of dollars a day. They've stolen every single penny of the money spent on it while governors, mayors and the general public cheered it on while intentionally skewing infections into people who the virus can and does kill. That's the behavior of monsters and you've sat back and let them do it or even worse, cheered it on despite having overwhelming evidence stuck in your face on a daily basis that this is exactly what is going on.
So tell me why we're doing any of this again? Why are you putting up with it? Why hasn't the American public woken up and told every one of these evil rat bastards that they will stop it now or they will be forced to stop by whatever means are necessary?
What choice am I really being presented with this coming Tuesday?
Being violated by a Donkey or an Elephant?
Where's the option to not get it up the ass at all?

Agree 100%, but getting anybody to turn off the TV, Facebook, Twitter and listen to the facts is just beating a dead horse. Yeah vote for Biden, he's campaigning on a national mask mandate if he is elected POTUS. This is all about money, control and submission, the woeful ignorance and apathy in America is astounding, sheeple are so willing to give up their rights.

In Bizarre Freudian Slip, Biden Brags About Assembling "Most Extensive Voter Fraud Organization In History"

Cases don't mean shit with flawed fraudulent testing, this is how they are keeping the charade going.
Some will understand the message....sadly most will not.
Projecting again eh....
Every time the Dems get caught in the act, they scream:
Russian disinformation! Russian interference! Conspiracy theory! and if all that BS doesn't work, it's RACIST!
Do these thugs seriously people are too dumb to see through their tricks?
H Biden signed the repair order!
More damning evidence and back stories regarding this evidence on the Biden crime family presented by Rudy Giuliani.
I think the number most likely is in the millions.
Well cork, I have to justify these dips somehow so, I just loaded up on GGGOF @.15, now have 100K. It is a risky jurisdiction but, I like the management, properties and the 50% insider ownership, Ravi Sood seems very genuine and makes a point to say how much the insiders value their shares, so I don't see much dilution in their future.
Great interview:
Absolutely NO reason for miners to be flat or struggling with Gold over $1900....makes absolutely NO sense.
Right on Gio, and the dems just keep on blindly supporting and voting for these traitors, they believe everything they see on TV, fakebook and twatter without question or fact checking and we are the ones that "can't think for themselves", absolutely unbelievable! Not even mentioning the unanswered crimes committed by the Clinton's, like Dan Bongino...I am very troubled and anxious about our countries future.
Breaking News, must watch if you are concerned at all about America's direction and future, start at 8 min mark.
Follow the money...ALWAYS.
JD, don't forget the other common denominator....the UN.
Gio, don't get your face diaper in a bunch.
Cork, the big question in my mind is, will gold get smacked down like it was the week after Trump's win in 2016 or have things deteriorated enough for that not to be possible?
One Trillion seconds = 30,000 years...
Yup, Fraud became the new business model in the 90's, Enron then 2008 sealed the deal and nobody wants to talk about it, all I've achieved over the past 12 years trying to open peoples eyes are blank stares and alienation or the standby excuse, "its always been like this".
The laws currently on the books are not the problem, this IS the rule of law and it would prevent ALL of this if the rule of law was enforced, there lies the problem...Tptb CHOOSE NOT to enforce the rule of law on their cronies yet enforce it to the fullest extent on us. We don't need more laws, we just need equal enforcement of the current rule of law on EVERYONE, enough of this two tier legal system!
No offense taken, you are absolutely right, same game all the banks were allowed to play after being busted for their flagrant mortgage fraud after the 2008 collapse, resulting in ZERO indictments.
I'm not a newbie to this BS by any stretch, believe me, I'm just trying to illustrate how maybe "this time" it seems to be more main stream, are the masses finally catching on to these treasonist criminal acts, by these banks or is it just more kabuki theater...we can only pray it isn't!
Don't Tread On Me you MF'rs.
I hear that, at least they had to admit wrong doing this time and returning money to the victims should also be in the billions you would think...
JPM Pays Record $1 Billion Fine; Admits Spoofing Of Gold And Treasuries

Inside the JPMorgan Trading Desk the U.S. Called a Crime Ring
The U.S. says the precious metals desk at JPMorgan was a racketeering operation. Now the bank is poised to pay a record penalty for spoofing. Here’s a look behind eight years of alleged conspiracy
By Tom Schoenberg
September 28, 2020, 4:00 AM EDT
Billionaires have Davos. For filmmakers, there’s Sundance. For the people who mine and trade and ship everything from iron ore to platinum, there’s London Metal Exchange Week. It’s a blur of symposiums and drinks, with a reliably lavish lunch thrown by JPMorgan Chase & Co. On a balmy October day in 2018, hundreds of guests crossed a courtyard in the shadow of the Bank of England to a medieval guild hall for champagne and sashimi courtesy of the bank and its top metals trader, Mike Nowak.
Nowak had plenty to celebrate. His global trading desk at JPMorgan was the powerhouse in futures contracts for gold, silver, platinum and palladium that account for tens of trillions of dollars in transactions annually. In his mid-40s, Nowak had run the precious metals desk for more than a decade. He had a young family, a house outside Manhattan and a seven-bedroom vacation home a few blocks from the beach in New Jersey.
But that world was unraveling. Unbeknown to Nowak, one of his former employees was turning on him.

That same day, the sun was barely up in Brooklyn when a trader named John Edmonds set off for a meeting with federal prosecutors. Edmonds, who’d worked for years on Nowak’s desk, took a four-hour car trip to Hartford, Connecticut, where he told authorities that Nowak’s crew wasn’t just buying and selling precious metals, but systematically cheating to help themselves and their top clients. Edmonds admitted to fraudulent trades that day in a sealed guilty plea. Soon, others from the precious metals desk provided accounts, setting off events leading to criminal charges against Nowak and four others from the bank.
Testimony by Edmonds and others also underpins a U.S. Justice Department criminal investigation into the bank itself that people familiar with the matter say will be resolved in coming days. They said the bank is expected to pay around $1 billion to settle with the Justice Department and U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Among the alleged misdeeds is so-called spoofing, or planting fake orders into the market to steer others into buying or selling at prices that favor the bank. In authorities’ years-long crackdown on spoofing — which has included the conviction of two former Deutsche Bank metals traders in Chicago late last week — the expected JPMorgan penalty would be several times the size of previous settlements.
Nowak and three others have pleaded not guilty and are seeking to have the charges against them dismissed. Lawyers for Nowak and Edmonds declined to comment. JPMorgan, which has said it’s cooperating with the investigation, declined to comment through a spokesman. The Justice Department and CFTC also declined to comment.
In charging Nowak and others, prosecutors are testing an unusual application of a law formulated to battle mobsters, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Prosecutors say Nowak’s trading desk was a criminal racketeering operation within the confines of America’s biggest bank. Traders on Nowak’s desk engaged in spoofing as a core business practice, doing it more than 50,000 times over nearly a decade, they said.
The Justice Department has famously used the RICO statute to bring down mafia bosses and drug gangs. It has used other statutes to extract penalties and guilty pleas from big banks accused of market manipulation. But it’s been decades since the government has attempted to apply the anti-racketeering law to members of a major bank’s trading desk, placing Nowak and others in crosshairs once trained on the likes of the Latin Kings and the Gambino crime family.
This account is based on court filings, public records and interviews with more than a dozen current traders, former traders and others familiar with the situation who asked not to be identified speaking about an ongoing legal matter.
Bear Stearns Marriage
The troubles at Nowak’s operation started in the depths of the financial crisis, arriving in the form of a novel trading strategy from a knot of new colleagues.
Nowak had just completed a swift climb at JPMorgan. He’d joined the bank straight from Duke University in 1996 and traded natural gas options for a few years. Then he made his way to the precious metals desk. It was an influential spot. JPMorgan owns and stores tens of billions of dollars of gold and silver in its vaults. It’s also one of the top traders in markets where investors and speculators exchange tens of billions of dollars in futures contracts daily — sending price signals that are picked up by gold funds, pawn shops and Indian jewelry bazaars. Nowak rose to the top of the New York trading desk, and then, in 2006, he took over the London and Singapore operations as well. He was 32 years old.
The financial crisis expanded Nowak’s brief further. JPMorgan’s takeover of the teetering Bear Stearns Cos. meant Nowak’s group would absorb Bear’s precious metals desk and some of its traders. Bear’s traders worked in midtown Manhattan, just across Madison Avenue from Nowak’s office.
On May 27, 2008, the Bear deal was two days from closing. Nowak was still getting to know his future employees and their culture. That day’s Wall Street Journal ran the first of a three-day series about what went wrong at Bear: It was a brokerage, the paper wrote, “whose culture and fortune were rooted in the trading floor's steely manipulation of risk.”
That morning, across the street from Nowak, a Bear trader named Gregg Smith executed a 15-second series of keystrokes.
8:39:56 a.m.: Smith enters an offer to sell seven contracts for silver futures. He asks $17.575 an ounce.
8:40:06 a.m.: Smith places 13 more offers — not to sell, but to buy 91 contracts. They were at prices from $17.555 to $17.565, just below Smith’s unfilled sell offer.
8:40:09 a.m.: Within less than seven-tenths of a second, Smith begins to get buyers for his seven contracts and starts canceling the 13 buy offers.
Just then, Nowak received an instant message from a Bear Stearns manager across the street: “Smith just bid it up to … sell.”
The timeline of that sale, in which about $600,000 worth of silver futures changed hands, is described in charging documents. The filings don’t say whether Nowak read the message or otherwise acknowledged the trade. But more than a decade later, the sequence was singled out by prosecutors as the beginning of what they described as an eight-year conspiracy.
In the following months, Nowak brought over several of the Bear traders, including Smith and the manager who had written him the instant message. Smith’s trade was a preview of a technique that prosecutors say became widespread at JPMorgan.
The 15-second sequence was also a response, prosecutors say, to an issue that had been vexing the JPMorgan crew — an upswing in pesky high-frequency traders.
Troubles With Algos
For generations, metals changed hands in open-outcry pits where hundreds of traders screamed prices and obscenities. Nowak, introverted and brainy, came along in time for electronic trading and the problems it posed. Firms and individuals with fast internet connections and proprietary algorithms were swarming in and out of positions to profit on small daily price moves.
Traders at big operations like JPMorgan’s found that within a second of placing a bid, their price was often countered by high-frequency traders who would match and close a position before the traders had a chance to complete their deal. These algos not only snapped up trades but also created momentum in the market that pushed prices away from the traders’ targets.
One way to outsmart them, current and former brokers and traders say, was to put up and remove an offer on the opposite side of the market. That would cause the algorithms to recalculate market supply and demand, leaving an opening for the traders to get the deal done at the price they wanted.
Early on, some of Nowak’s traders were attempting to counter the algos by placing a single large order opposite the one they wanted filled, according to prosecutors. The Bear traders’ twist was to place multiple orders, at different prices, that in aggregate were substantially larger than the genuine order — a technique the government calls layering. The orders, made in rapid succession after the genuine order, would be canceled as soon as the genuine order was filled. Think of it like trying to sell a hamburger. You conjure a mob in front of your burger joint, creating the perception of demand. Once a real customer steps up and buys the burger, you make the mob vanish.

The layering worked in futures markets in part because participants see a second-by-second barrage of offers to buy and sell, but not who’s making them. And whereas one big order might stand out, a lot of small ones might not. That made it important to warn colleagues when layering was in progress. One of the former Bear traders did just that for a new JPMorgan colleague in early 2009, according to prosecutors.
“So you know its gregg bidding up on the futures trying to get some off,” the Bear alum wrote. “Incase you were watching some large bids come into market.”
At that moment, Smith placed an order to sell seven gold futures while placing offers to buy 77. The activity was viewable for 59 seconds before Smith sold three of his contracts and canceled his swarm of buy orders.
“Appreesh,” the colleague responded, “that worked!”
Smith, a lead gold trader, executed some 38,000 layering sequences over the years, or about 20 a day, prosecutors said in filings. (Smith pleaded not guilty, and his lawyer didn’t respond to requests for comment.) Nowak himself primarily traded options, but he would dip into the futures market to hedge those positions. He tried his hand at layering in September 2009, according to filings, and went on to use the technique some 3,600 times.
The government says the traders caused tens of millions of dollars in losses for those on the other side of the transactions and harmed market integrity. It says JPMorgan’s precious metals trading desk — which brings in as much as $250 million in annual profit — generated millions of dollars in unlawful gains.
Lawyers for Nowak and Smith declined to comment about their defense strategies. But lawyers in other spoofing and manipulation cases have argued that the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between traders and algos is understood across the market and that the gains are small on minuscule market moves. In this month’s trial of the former Deutsche Bank AG traders, defense lawyers compared high-speed trading on futures markets to a competitive card game, saying canceling orders isn’t spoofing but rather a legal bluffing strategy. They also claimed the government cherry-picked trades, providing too little market context to establish manipulation.
Nowak’s Acolyte
Nowak was an even-tempered manager who was hands-off yet approachable, several people familiar with his work said. When he saw his traders outside the office, they said, it was unlikely to be at a late-night bar. One trader, in an instant message cited in filings, noted that Nowak had come to his kids’ birthday parties.
One of Nowak’s acolytes on the desk was Edmonds, a Brooklyn native with a degree from St. Johns University in Queens, New York. Edmonds started in JPMorgan’s back office and was brought to the desk in 2009. He sat next to a former pit trader who would often ask Edmonds to execute his trades, according to Edmonds’s testimony in a civil lawsuit. That trader, identified as a co-conspirator in the indictment, isn’t named or charged in the criminal case. Edmonds’s supervisors and more senior members on the desk showed him how to layer trades, he later told prosecutors, adding that it was understood on the desk that this was the way to trade precious metals futures.
For as long as Nowak was on the desk, scrutiny was a constant. Gold and silver bugs — many of them individual investors who bought futures or physical gold and silver as a conservative investment play — claimed the bank was unfairly moving prices in spot and futures markets to benefit itself. Similar allegations were raised in civil lawsuits by people or firms that traded silver futures, such as the suit in which Edmonds provided testimony about the trading desk. For years, those cases went nowhere.
And three times, starting in 2004, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission also looked into allegations of market manipulation of the silver market by JPMorgan. Nowak, who held leadership roles on the LME and the London Bullion Market Association, was asked to explain the bank’s trading. In 2010, he sat for two days of interviews with CFTC investigators, explaining the bank’s trading strategies.
“To your knowledge, have traders at JPMorgan in the metals group put up bids and offers to the market which they didn’t intend to execute and then pulled them before they got hit or lifted?” one CFTC investigator asked.
“No,” Nowak responded.
The CFTC closed the third of those three inquiries in 2013 without taking action. JPMorgan has cited those CFTC investigations while defending against civil lawsuits, accusing plaintiffs of rehashing “implausible theories” of silver futures manipulation that were rejected by regulators.
Screening for Spoofs
Five years passed before Nowak’s operation came under the federal spotlight again. That was thanks to a federal prosecutor with a trove of data and, in Edmonds, a key cooperator.
The prosecutor was Avi Perry, an assistant U.S. attorney in Connecticut with a Yale law degree. Perry didn’t set out to target JPMorgan’s operation so much as JPMorgan’s trading found him.
Perry started hunting for market manipulation around 2018, as the Justice Department was upping its game in the area. For years, prosecutors had built market manipulation cases by following up on tips and pulling trading data on suspects. Now they were doing deep dives into raw data to uncover targets, parsing records filed directly with the exchanges.
In the real-time scrum of futures markets, where offers are made and pulled all day long, it’s nearly impossible to discern potential manipulation. But the government had an edge. The data feed of the trades includes each trader’s exchange credentials, allowing investigators to sort for suspicious patterns and attribute it to individuals.
Perry also had a valuable guide to the market. His lead FBI investigator, Jonathan Luca, previously worked as a gold and silver futures trader at Morgan Stanley. Together, they created a screen for precious metals trading data. The idea, according to two people familiar with the analysis, was to turn up sequences in which a trader placed and canceled a profusion of orders on one side of the market while executing a trade on the other. The bigger the mismatch between genuine and pulled offers, and the more a given trader did it, they said, the more it would be considered a red flag for potential spoofing.
When they ran the screen, traders at JPMorgan stood out.
Grappling With a Loss
Perry, at the time, was coming off a stinging loss in a spoofing case. In late 2017, his bosses at the Justice Department added him to the team preparing to try an indicted UBS Group AG metals trader. In his mid-30s, Perry hadn’t handled a spoofing prosecution. The case was already speeding to trial, and cracks were showing. The trader was indicted in Connecticut even though his trading occurred on exchanges in Chicago. Most of the charges were dismissed and the trader was acquitted. Defense lawyers and even some fraud prosecutors wondered if the government’s spoofing initiative was waning.
But Perry’s bosses had him keep digging. In 2018 they recruited him for a job at the Justice Department’s fraud section in Washington, whose prosecutors have built some of the biggest U.S. corporate crime cases. With the trading analysis in hand, he went looking for individuals who might talk.
Edmonds was notable even among the JPMorgan traders. At times he had placed orders with as many as 400 contracts on the opposite side of a genuine one.
It’s unclear how Perry and the FBI approached Edmonds. But they could have done so without raising alarms inside JPMorgan. Edmonds had left JPMorgan in 2017 after declining the bank’s offer to relocate to Singapore, and by the fall of 2018 was working at another bank.
Perry and his team talked to Edmonds at least twice in the weeks before he traveled to Connecticut to enter his secret guilty plea on Oct. 9, 2018, the day of the London party.
Several months later, Perry secured the cooperation of one of the Bear traders who moved to JPMorgan. Pleading guilty, that trader said he personally manipulated trades while working from offices in New York, London and Singapore, and said spoofed trades were a fixture at the bank for nearly a decade.
Even so, at Nowak’s office there was little sign of dark clouds. Although banks often place individuals on leave when legal action may be pending, Nowak and Smith remained at their desks well after the charges against Edmonds were made public in November 2018.
Green Light for RICO
To prosecutors, the evidence fit the template for a racketeering conspiracy — a pattern of illegality over time, with individuals working together to further the goals of the allegedly criminal enterprise. There was limited precedent applying the RICO law to trading and finance, though. Racketeering charges were leveled against Michael Milken in 1989 but dropped when he reached a settlement with authorities. The statute was successfully applied in the early 1990s against eight traders in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange soybean pits.
To guard against overuse or abuse of the statute, the Justice Department keeps a tight handle on RICO charges. The department’s organized crime and gang section gave Perry the green light.
In 2019, Edmonds’s plea began to recede into the rear-view mirror. In May, Nowak and Smith hosted an intern, the quarterback for Nowak’s alma mater, Duke. That summer, Perry secured the government’s indictment of Nowak, Smith and a third trader. It was filed under seal in federal court in Chicago, where the trades took place.
The charges were made public in September, and Nowak appeared in handcuffs in federal court in Newark, New Jersey — accused of conspiracy to participate in or conduct a criminal racketeering enterprise, attempted price manipulation, bank fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud and spoofing. In addition to the half-dozen people who’ve been charged, the government documents referred to seven more individuals as unindicted co-conspirators. It’s not clear whether any of them have cooperated or what additional information they may have provided in the year since.
Nowak's arrest sent a shockwave through the the metals and proprietary trading world, several people in the industry said. On paper and by reputation, he was as clean as they came, they said, asking: If he could come under scrutiny, couldn’t anyone?
Nowak’s trial is on pace for next year, according to filings in the case. The government should be able to use a JPMorgan settlement to its favor, said Michael Koenig, a former federal prosecutor who's now a partner at Hinckley, Allen & Snyder and isn't involved in the Nowak matter. The bank could be required to offer witnesses and testimony, he said.
“The company — and all its information and all of its personnel — is now sitting at the prosecutors’ table,” Koenig said.
