I Spent Eight Years Spoofing Silver

I'm a precious metals trader at a major bank.

Was.

Am.

Depends on which LinkedIn I'm updating.

Between 2008 and 2016, my desk placed orders we never intended to fill.

Thousands of them.

Tens of thousands.

We'd flood the book with sell orders.

Watch the algos panic.

Cancel before execution.

Buy at the bottom we just created.

Rinse.

Repeat.

For eight years.

We called it "spoofing."

The regulators called it fraud.

Same thing. Different business cards.

My bank paid $920 million to settle.

$920 million.

Two of my colleagues went to federal prison.

One year.

Two years.

They took it well.

Better than you'd think.

The bank paid their legal fees.

And kept their pensions.

Because that's what family does.

Eight banks. Total fines. $1.3 billion.

$920 million from us.

$127 million from Scotiabank.

$76 million from HSBC.

$75 million from Deutsche Bank.

The rest from the usual suspects.

All for the same thing.

Keeping silver where we wanted it.

Not where the market wanted it.

Here's what nobody understands about manipulation.

It's not about making money on the trade.

It's about making money on the *position*.

We had shorts.

Massive shorts.

The kind that show up in CFTC reports as "concentrated commercial interest."

That's regulator-speak for "these four banks control 68% of the market."

If silver went up, we lost billions.

So silver didn't go up.

For eight years.

Meanwhile, the world was changing.

Solar panels need silver.

500 million ounces by 2030.

Electric vehicles need silver.

AI data centers need silver.

Every green energy initiative, every climate target, every ESG presentation—

All of them need the one metal we were suppressing.

We knew.

We had the research.

We just didn't care.

2021: Supply deficit of 51 million ounces.

2022: 237 million.

2023: 184 million.

2024: 182 million.

2025: 166 million.

Cumulative: 820 million ounces.

That's 820 million ounces of silver the world needed.

That didn't exist.

Because mines can't produce fast enough.

And we spent a decade convincing everyone silver was worthless.

The prosecution came.

The fines came.

The prison sentences came.

We paid.

We restructured.

We "enhanced our compliance protocols."

That's how you say "we got caught" in a press release.

Then we did something beautiful.

We flipped.

We closed our shorts.

We went long.

713 million ounces.

Not a typo.

We now own more silver than we spent eight years suppressing.

Silver in January 2024: $23.

Silver in December 2025: $83.

Silver today: $110.

Up 260%.

From the price we kept it at.

To the price it should have been.

All along.

TD Securities tried to short it in October.

Lost $2.39 million.

In one trade.

We laughed.

Not because we're cruel.

Because we *invented* that trade.

And we knew when to stop.

December 2025.

COMEX registered inventory.

60% drawdown.

Four days.

47.6 million ounces claimed.

Physical delivery.

Not paper settlement.

Actual silver.

Leaving the vault.

The vaults we control.

Chinese banks suspended new precious metals accounts.

ICBC. Agricultural Bank. Construction Bank. Ningbo.

Raised margins.

Added circuit breakers.

They saw what was coming.

The same thing we saw.

When you suppress a price for a decade—

And the world still needs the thing—

Eventually the spring uncoils.

The board asked me how we're positioned.

I said "constructive."

Constructive means we're long.

Constructive means we're making billions.

Constructive means the same bank that paid $920 million in fines—

Is now making $900 million in gains.

On the same metal.

In the same market.

With the same traders.

Just different positions.

I'm updating my LinkedIn.

"Led precious metals transformation at global financial institution."

Transformation is accurate.

We transformed from criminal.

To compliant.

To profitable.

Same people.

Same desks.

Different direction.

Someone asked if I felt guilty.

About the manipulation.

About the miners who couldn't get fair prices.

About the investors who sold at the bottom we created.

About the eight years of artificial suppression.

I said I felt "reflective."

Reflective means no.

The next conference is in March.

"Precious Metals Outlook 2026."

I'm on the panel.

"Silver: From Suppression to Surge."

That's really the title.

They asked me to speak.

Because I have "unique insight."

I do.

I was the suppression.

Now I'm the surge.

$1.3 billion in fines.

Two men in prison.

Eight banks prosecuted.

820 million ounce deficit.

260% price increase.

$110 silver.

And I'm speaking at conferences.

About what's next.

You want to know what's next?

$120.

$150.

$200.

Not because I believe in silver.

Because I believe in deficits.

And I believe in the position we've built.

713 million ounces.

The same hands that held it down—

Now holding it up.

The market isn't broken.

The market is *working*.

For the first time in a decade.

Because we stopped breaking it.

Not out of conscience.

Out of position.

That's the lesson.

The same people who manipulate the bottom—

Manipulate the top.

We just change the sign.

Short to long.

Suppress to support.

Crime to compliance.

Same traders.

Same desks.

Same banks.

Different LinkedIn.

I'm going to make more money this year than I made in any year of the manipulation.

Legally.

Compliantly.

On the rally we delayed for a decade.

The spring uncoils.

The price finds its level.

The fines get written off.

And I update my LinkedIn.

"Precious metals expert."

"Market structure specialist."

"Transformation leader."

Nobody mentions the eight years.

Nobody mentions the $920 million.

Nobody mentions the prison sentences.

Silver at $110.

Gold at $5,000.

My bonus at ATH.

Same metal.

Same market.

Same me.

Different position.

That's not irony.

That's the system.

Working exactly as designed.

🚨🚨🚨 BlackRock CEO at Davos gave you the entire $XRP thesis without mentioning XRP 👇🤯

Let me translate what Larry Fink said:

"One unified blockchain." → XRP Ledger
"Every asset tokenized." → RWA on XRPL
"Fractionalized ownership." → Already live
"Programmable and instantly transferable." → That's literally what XRP does

This isn't complicated.

The largest asset manager in the world with $10 trillion under management is publicly calling for exactly what Ripple has been building for a decade.

You think that's a coincidence?

I've watched this narrative shift in real-time. First they ignored it. Then they called it a security. Now they're describing it at Davos without saying its name.

The flip is coming. Institutions are positioning while retail argues about charts.

When BlackRock moves, they don't announce. They accumulate.

And when they're done accumulating, you'll finally hear them say the name.

Do you get it? 👇

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.

Charlie Munger’s 1998 Harvard speech is the ultimate cheat code for life.

He compressed 74 years of billionaire wisdom into just 30 minutes.

Most people spend 4 years in college and learn less than what’s in this video.

Save this video, you will come back to this.

YOU THINK $XRP IS JUST A COIN… YOU’RE MISSING THE BIG PICTURE 😳

If you’ve watched this video of Ripple CTO David Schwartz, the bullish case for $XRP becomes existential

The next tech wave isn’t better UI or faster apps, it’s infrastructure that makes money move like information.

Nobody in the ‘90s could’ve imagined the scale of streaming. Today, we can’t fully imagine the consequences of value transfer dropping to near-zero cost.

But Schwartz isn’t guessing, he’s seen this pattern before.

This is about enabling new systems, new behaviors, and new use cases no one’s priced in yet.

True disruption doesn’t announce itself. But it always leaves a trail.

Can you connect the dots?

⚠️ BUCKLE UP: 2026 GEOPOLITICAL PREDICTIONS FROM A PROFESSOR WHO GOT TRUMP, IRAN, & UKRAINE RIGHT.

Professor Jang uses game theory & history to forecast global shifts. His track record is uncanny. Here’s his alarming analysis for 2026.

THE GRAND GAME: US vs. CHINA
➡️ The core of 2026 is the U.S.-China relationship. Everything else is secondary.
✅ Trump’s planned state visit to China in April is the pivotal event. The goal? A "grand bargain" to secure the US dollar's dominance.
❌ The U.S. strategy is contradictory: it seeks to coerce China while needing its cooperation. This cannot hold.

THE REAL WAR IS FINANCIAL
🔗 The 1971 move off the gold standard created a system where China’s addiction to dollars stabilized the U.S. economy.
⚠️ Now, China is destabilizing that system by internationalizing the Yuan and creating gold-backed corridors.
⚔️ U.S. actions in Venezuela & the Middle East are not just about oil—they are about forcing China to buy resources using dollars, strangling its economy into submission.

MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION
➡️ Professor Jang uses a powerful metaphor: two nations on a ladder over an abyss.
✅ If they climb together, they are stable.
❌ If one tries to climb too far ahead, both fall. The U.S. insistence on hegemony is that destabilizing force.
💥 China’s weapons are financial: it can restrict silver exports or dump U.S. treasuries, causing market havoc.

THE AMERICAN PONZI SCHEME
✅ The U.S. economy is built on bubbles: AI speculation, over-leveraged paper silver (300:1), and cryptocurrency.
⚠️ These bubbles are sustained only by oligarchic control and endless money printing. A self-correction could mean collapse—and potential civil war.
“The American financial industry is one great Ponzi scheme.”

EUROPE: SLEEPWALKING INTO DISASTER
➡️ The Ukraine war is settled in all but name. The front is stabilized.
❌ Yet, Europe’s elite, living in a bubble, will continue a suicidal policy. They cannot admit they were wrong.
🎯 The endgame is Odessa. NATO will commit to defending it, Russia will besiege it, and European conscription will spark internal revolt.
“Europe is a lumbering bureaucracy that cannot imagine its own demise.”

THE DECLINE OF EMPIRE: MICRO-MILITARISM
✅ The kidnapping of Maduro was a televised spectacle, not strategy.
⚠️ It humiliated a nation and turned the Global South against the U.S. It’s a sign of an empire in decline—sacrificing long-term strategy for short-term optics.
“Trump thinks like a mafia boss, not a president. He lives in Trump World, where TV ratings equal victory.”

APRIL 2026: THE SHOWDOWN
All roads lead to Trump’s visit to China. The goal is to negotiate from a position of strength, controlling the Western Hemisphere to dictate terms.
The wildcard is China’s response. Will it cut a deal or choose a different path?
The professor’s bet: A grand bargain is reached, but it merely delays the inevitable collapse of the current order.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The world is being pushed toward conflict by a declining power that confuses television ratings for statecraft, while its rivals hold the financial weapons to ensure mutual destruction.

I highly recommend watching the entire interview ! https://t.co/JqMtZ7OJB6 - @Glenn_Diesen

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Barack Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

Those were the days we want back.
