In 1979 the Hunt brothers appear to have tried to corner the world silver market. Silver ran up from $11 to $50 in six months. And then in weeks it collapsed back below $11. The formerly billionaire Hunt bros filed for bankruptcy and were banned from trading commodities.
thanks, I thought it was something like that- I just vaguely remembered that they were responsible for something like that
Seems William debane, and others who own silver are trying to get OTHER people to run the price up by driving demand for silver this time instead of doing it themselves by making it more scarce- Getting others to do their dirty work for them-
