Maguire not only provided the regulators with a Dummies’ guide to how the manipulation generally worked, but also warned them of a specific crime – a dramatic take-down of the gold and silver markets – that he said would occur at an exact time on a specific date in the near future. That is, Maguire told the regulators that a massive crime was about to happen, and the crime happened precisely as he predicted it would.
Huh? I don't recall any "dramatic take-down" in the precious metals markets. What I see is that every time gold gets toppy, it sinks back under 1200, and then begins to rise again. No biggie.
Why is it that so many people appear to believe that investments should only go up, and that if they don't, "criminals" are involved?
