THE MICE GET PRISON, WHILE THE RATS GO FREE

 

“Life at a Wall Street TBTF trading desk! … precious metals division!!”

He certainly looks like Jamie Dimon!, the resemblance is uncanny! … and the last

of the gold crooks at JPM got sentenced to prison for “spoofing” … the link from

ZH directly below for the details.

desk-sentenced-prison-manipulation


Mice get the iron hand , while the “corporate Rats” running the show walk, so they

can continue to shovel “skim” to POLS, Apparatchiks, & regulators the world over

to look the other way … JPM pays a hair under $1 BILLION in fines to make it all

go away [paper clip money], so they can make hundreds of BILLIONS going

forward doing the exact same thing, only having their ILLEGAL [for them as a

bank] & UNTRACEABLE proprietary trading units located offshore do the

spoofing, AND OTHER ASSORTED “SCUMBAGGERY & FUCKERY”, NOTABLY

FRONT RUNNING ORDERS.


And while the U.S. government top-to-bottom has repeatedly tried for decades to

get courts in the U.S. and abroad to “pierce the corporate veil” of shell companies

& those it thinks engage in illegal trading activities, at every turn they get shut

down with impunity cuz they have no standing to file anything against an

offshore IBC [International Business Company, usually bearer share owned] or

PIF [Private Interest Foundation] legally domiciled in an offshore tax haven

… Belize, Nevis, BVI, & Panama just to name a few in the Caribbean … where

trading financial instruments is NOT considered a “business activity” in any

jurisdiction … lacking any legal reason to drag an IBC or PIF into court, they’re

free to be the offshore legal prop accounts that are the beneficiaries of “front

running” by scumbag outfits [a/k/a “criminals”] like JPM, Vampire Squid [GS],

Citigroup, HSBC, Bank of America, etc. … in essence and in practice, they’re

simply another trading client doing orders that are executed by the banks

trading desks … on the banks books, all you’ll see is the execution of the order

… “what’s the big deal, what's the problem officer?” … through the use of “burner

phones” and erasable, encrypted chat services they front run orders offshore

and the prop account does the buying / selling and booking the ILLEGAL GAIN

… the bank shoves the market price up/down, the offshore client gets the

trading gain … and this gain has no taxes, is not reported anywhere, and the

offshore IBC or PIF can do whatever they want with the money … and this is

where the crypto gets sent from to all of those looking / demanding their cut

… and there isn’t a “Hoover Dam” thing the DOJ, the Treasury Dept., and/or

Libtard Judge in a favored jurisdiction can do about it … you ain’t gonna get to

pierce the corporate veil, and nobody offshore pays any attention to U.S.

courts, except for laughter purposes … oh, and the “big guy” wants his 10%

cut NOW!


The means by which scumbag banks today go to escape scrutiny is pretty much

“iron clad”, unless of course you get somebody to sing to the FEDS, and why

would they do that? … technology has raised the bar immensely, and unless

you’re stupid and/or sloppy, not even a scumbag banker could fuck this up

… bank compliance is a fucking joke and always has been, filled with wannabe

regulator types … just look at Epstein and JPM’s relationship now that the bank,

along with Jamie Dimon, are involved in litigation … HELLO! … regulation &

oversight is to capture and catch “little fish”, so that if push comes to shove,

somebody can be sacrificed at the altar of “saving the children” from the evils of

financial “Scumbaggery & Fuckery” … it’s all propaganda for public consumption

… it’s not for putting an end to corruption and putting firms like JPM out of

business … “for heaven’s sake, how would we get our “skim” then?” … and life

goes on as before, nothing changes nor will it!


It’s PMI Wednesday at the “Slots-A-Rama” room, here inside the world’s most

corrupt casino … Europe’s PMI’s coming in just short of disaster … the U.S. has

its turn at 9:45 AM EST … and 2 minutes after that, it will be forgotten cuz

tomorrow starts the all important J-Hole confab, where on Friday Spicoli speaks

his bullshit and fur will fly … awaiting the U.S. PMI fairy tale stats, all eyes are on

the bond market … as I’ve said a million times, cuz the charts in all markets are

remarkably the SAME. “we’re all interest rate traders now”, whether you like it or

not! … after “Stock Bellies” close today, we get NVDA earnings, and given that

every tech trader north of the South Pole is long, right along with their pet rabbits

on Wall Street, it’ll be key to see how price reacts … whatever they report, I’d

expect to see immediate buying, but how long does that last? … everybody

knows that Wall Street analysts “sandbag” earnings estimates lower, so that

everybody can report a “beat”, but will “buy the rumor, sell the fact” show up, or

is it gonna be a disaster, and let the fun & games to the downside begin in

earnest? … dunno, don’t care, but it’ll affect market sentiment across the

spectrum, at least until Spicoli speaks Friday at J-Hole.


Meanwhile, crude oil as a barometer of things that can & will go wrong at the

demand level, is starting to roll over and show weakness in price … this bears

watching, cuz if there’s one commodity [copper the other] that can FUBAR

things up, and give a “heads up” on where econ activity is headed, it’s crude oil.


And right on cue, here come the Chipmunks for their NYSE opening feeding,

where banks take advantage of idiot mutual funds, ETF’s & ETN’s, who have to

buy overnight deposit monies within the first 5 minutes of trading … you know,

cuz otherwise the customer might get cheated by unscrupulous bank trading

desks and fund managers colluding on fills … I guess the genius savants in

regulators HQ, over at one of Hitler’s old secret bunkers, converted by the Biden

Crime Family into a government facility, never thought of the offshore front

running that goes on, and I covered that up top today … WTF … “soft” PMI and

let the buying frenzy commence! … you know, cuz a worldwide DEPRESSION IS

GOOD FOR ALL THE BUBBLES! [cuz it means turning the “BRRRRRRR!”

CNTRL-P machine back on super high!]


Gold getting its best pop higher in weeks, after relentless selling on higher rates

almost every single day these last weeks … but as we’ve seen today, Europe’s

PMI’s were a disaster, especially the U.K., and the ChiComs have fucked up

“bigly & yuge” in their efforts to grow their economy … with a softer U.S. PMI,

unless inflation really takes off and we get some sigma misses to the upside,

where are the rate rises going forward gonna come from? … yea, we can point to

higher government borrowing and their insatiable need for cash, but unless that

spurs some kind of growth [which it doesn’t], we’re headed for some kind of

crash … and I’d have to say, the probability we’ve seen the high in rates is high,

and today’s data from everywhere points to that … and that should be

… SHOULD BE … supporting for gold … and if rates do go higher, I guarantee

another banking crisis is right around the corner, making the last one in March

look like child’s play … and that would only add further fuel to a gold rally

bonfire!


Post the PMI stats, one of the worst trading days for gold I’ve seen in a long while

… I mean, nothing going on except a very slooooow crawl higher, and after about

3+ hours this shit can’t move $3 to save its life … some m1’s so pathetic you can

barely see the range on the m1 MT4! … at least the FX pairs are doing something,

trying to put in a reversal day in EURUSD … but no matter, I think the switch to

gold makes perfect sense at this point … spreads have come down, action needs

to pick up with ranges, but the trading action is consistent … now if it will only

cooperate! [today it hasn’t]


No trades today for the PAMM … not for lack of effort or desire, but the simple

fact that after PMI’s in the U.S., this shit couldn’t move $3 … literally … m1’s so

small I could hardly see them on my screen … OK, no big deal, it’s August after

all, and we got J-Hole coming up tomorrow and Friday … for “The Syndicate”,

some light volume EURUSD super scalps, and we’re UP APPROXIMATELY 0.3%

on this reversal day of straight down, straight up … I couldn’t do this at Coinexx

for the PAMM cuz the logistics of the spread and slippage on fills … it just is what

it is … and btw, over at IQCENT, they’ve removed their gold CFD cuz of

“problems with bid/offer quotes” from their vendor, and sources over there tell

me they don’t know when it will resume trading … well, at least they’re doing

something with a shit, scumbag LP vendor who won’t provide decent spreads,

so we’ll see how long it takes them to get gold back … onto tomorrow.  


…  OUTTA HERE … “The future’s so bright I need 2 pairs of sunglasses 😎😎,

and my own Brinks armored truck” 💓!! … Onward & Upward!!
