Wasn't there an attempt to corner the silver market a while back? IIRC, they almost pulled it off.

Several years back the Hunt brothers were charged trying to fix it I think. They had it up to $8/oz if I remember correctly. They would have made an absolute fortune if it worked. Not sure what the penalty was.
