EDITOR'S NOTE: If sh*t rolls downhill, then it shouldn’t be so hard to follow the trail upward to find the person or people responsible for administering the reek. The DOJ finally got it right with regard to JPM’s manipulative practices, for what they discovered rolling downhill certainly wasn’t a golden egg of executive diversion. It’s not about rogue traders violating company policy. The responsibility points toward the executive level. It’s not about managerial aberrance but a large-scale cultural deviation from ethical and legal norms. What’s at risk here is not just the spread of C-level transgression but the integrity of the entire gold trading industry from the bullion banks to COMEX. If there’s anything we can learn from the findings below, it’s that, yes, the system is rigged to the core, and its rigged against you and every American in a manner that is systemically corrupt and driven by an impulse to raid your wealth.
