Clearly the amount of money involved would be pocket change to a Soros who wanted to manipulate. The only question is why is this the first time he (or whoever) would have done it?
Exactly. Let’s take a look at the state of the so-called free markets in the world. 1)Libor proven rig job. 2)Dow Jones Propaganda Average-rigged by the PPT. 3) Comex oil, gold and silver-rigged by large trading banks and Fed. 4) Interest market-rigged by the Fed and Treasury 5) Currency exchange rates-rigged by the world’s central banks.
So let’s look at InTrade. A small, several million dollar market perhaps. No transparency, no idea who owns, who’s buying and who’s selling. With a small several million investment it would be extremely easy to manipulate the standings. This would fit in nicely with O’s strategy of manipulating the pollsters to make it appear that his re-election is inevitable, thereby discouraging turnout and flipping those voters who like to vote for the winner.
No proof for any of this, but it is certainly feasible.
