Forex-Rigging Fines Could Hit $41 Billion Globally: Citi

Trillions of dollars are traded daily in foreign currency exchange, equities, bond, and commodities markets.   Banks are paying up to $41 billion in fines for rigging markets (without having to admit guilt, of course).

Yet, when the clear-eyed insist that precious metals markets are manipulated, which represent less than 1% of investable assets, we're dismissed as crackpots?

Think about that for a second.  If one has enough money to buy a state gubernatorial election, doesn't it make sense that it takes much less money to rig a high school prom coronation?
