<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 844081, member: 3011&quot;]The quote below from the article is interesting.&nbsp; Chilton is saying that the CFTC needs to prove &quot;intent to manipulate.&quot;&nbsp; When the Hunt Brothers were investigated, the agencies took the position that the existence of concentrated positions in the futures market was proof of manipulation.&nbsp; Apparently there is a double standard depending on whether you are a private individual buying or a large bank selling.</p><p><br /></p><p>&lt;Chilton added, &quot; Many say that there is clear ‘manipulation’ in metals and that we at the CFTC should merely ‘stop it.’&nbsp; Well, in order for the agency to prove manipulation in court we have to demonstrate, among other things, that there was a specific intent to manipulate the market.” &gt;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
