    This is most probably illegal, even in the US. But, oh well, it’s just Wednesday in naziland.

      No market manipulation is illegal in the USA for quite some time now.

        Illegal is only illegal if someone is willing to prosecute it. Who pray tell is going to charge the Secretary of Commerce?

            Okay, got it. I’m a bit confused though about how that changes my statement around the fact he won’t be charged.

              I think they meant it just as a “he’s even more slimey then you think!” not an indication of if they’d be charged or not.

                Got it! Yeah it’s hard not to hate how much they’re getting away with.

      The Democrats are going to have to wave those little round signs extra hard.

      And then vote for the bill that makes this legal.
