In the latest Capital Account, Lauren asks CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton about the role that concentration and large positions held by particular bullion banks and financial players in the markets play in facilitating market manipulation. Specifically, the area of concern has been the market for silver, where an ongoing CFTC investigation is may reveal information of wrongdoing. Lauren cites comments made by Bart Chilton in response to a financial times article that claimed the CFTC investigation has gone cold.
Full MUST WATCH interview below!


BullSHIT Bart.
Comex opening takedowns; Tuesday COT cutoff whitewashes; 25% of world silver production being sold on COMEX in 10 minutes time and time again. No evidence obvious enough for the CFTC Commisioners.

More like BullCHILT Bart! LOL!
BIG NEWS: Chilton says little of import regarding silver, but shows that he’s willing to brush his hair before getting interviewed by the lovely Lauren Lyster.
He must’ve used that ‘fine tooth comb’ he was supposed to be watching the silver market with.
lol
‘Significant positions … “but not that high”??? Really, Bart? ‘But, not that high’,you say?
Oh, I’m sorry! Please excuse my gagging and retching. It just seemed to well up … unexpectedly.
the Significant positions … “but not that high” was meant for gold , which is probably true , he says silver 35% and higher ( gold maybe 25% and higher , my opinion of significant but not high) , I think he said as much as he could , without getting himself killed .
Chilton is so in on it.
Bart Chilton on CFTC Investigations of Silver Manipulation and Violations of the Law
The CFTC’s inaction is criminal…Their ineptitude deserves short ropes and tall lamp posts. >:-(
RumbleGuts: thanks for helping me cut through the chase.
WTF Lauren? Why didn’t you ask about the four fucking years the investigation has taken?!?!?!
Here is an edited version of my challenge to BArt that I posted on SGTreport.
“If the evidence was there before us”?, they’d be able to do something about it.
He admitted that he had received emails about market manipulation via outsized sell orders from a specific source and it happened in real time. How easy is it to track who placed the trades? Real easy according to their own reports related to bank participation rates. Then there is the concentration as reported by them and as highlighted by Ted Butler. This is the CFTC’s “Benghazi Moment”, only the attack happens on a near daily basis. From the CFTC, there is only obfuscation of the obvious, by apologist enablers of the crime in progress and whining about staffing. Last night was another case in point.Bart (you store front barker), I’ve got a challenge for you; You are to lock yourself in your mom’s basement and using your ill-gotten gains from false pretences (namely your current job), open an account with a broker and trade silver on a daily basis. Apply any fundamental or technical strategy that you care to, and let us know how soon you go broke. You won’t last any longer than the average Joe, I’ll bet.I hereby post a public $10,000.00 bet against your success. Now, there are limitations. No outside calls from your pals at JPMorgan or HSBC, mmmkay? You’ll have your answer to the question of manipulation in silver markets in less than a week, I guarantee you.CFTC: Complete Fraud in Trading Commodities.
Anybody, I mean anybody out there know if “WHEN” is delayed? Hell, I can only live so long. I mean if Gold
and Silver are going to go ballistic, How soon is “WHEN NOW”?
The first time I heard that silver was going to go nuclear was back when Hilter was a gate guard. So………..,hummmm??????
It will happen soon when hyperinflation will arrive in the USA. Hyperinflation will first begin when the 500$ or the 1000$ will arrive in US circulation. But, I have to admit that everyone keeps saying that gold and silver will skyrocket soon. When silver was at about 50$ per ounce on April 2011, people said that silver will be at 100$ per ounce in one year but it wasn’t.
This has to be the BEST joke of the year!!
Only thing is not very many are laughing.
Come on, that was hilarious.
“We want to make sure we have a good case… you want to win the Case…” Bart: How about throw them all in jail one by one until you get the facts. You know, hold them all in Jail (no bail-flight risk) for about four years and promise to let them out “on the anniversary” of that four years. Maybe there wouldn’t be so many Still Walking Our Streets!!
“problematic moves in the market” gee you suppose? When half the yearly silver production is dumped in 10 minutes….
“if the evidence was before us” how much do you need, this has been going on for years day after day.
This is crap and nothing will come from it.
Bart Chilton? People still listen to this FuckTard? He haas ZERO Credibility! Another paid schill…….
I can see the Bar Code across his forehead from here…..
When Bart said that there was a trader who owned 30% of the paper in the Silver market and the law only
allows the top to be 10%, , why in Hell isn’t he running Dimon out of Dodge>>>!!!!!
We know damned well who he was talking about, but of course that was a private statement for Jamie Dimon qnd Blyth
Masters. If he knows about who it is and namely JPM who has leveraged 89 Trillion dollars of derivatives against 2 Tilliion
of the banks asseta against a massive amount ofderivatives. Bart should be down at the bank with a sledgehammer
tearing JPM a part! and shutting the criminal bastards DOWN!
Crush these criminals now! Your statement just proves that Bart Chilton is working with the elites so he is not advancing in the investigation. The silver investigation is just a show so that everyone would think that the CFTC is a legit institution. Or else, why didn’t they found anything during those four years?
Bart Chilton has jumped the shark.
Criminal bastards won’t shut down criminal bastards. They will at best pretend while advancing towards more evil. It will only stop when good men with balls drag them out into the streets and make examples of them.
What a joke, don’t expect anything to materialize in this “investigation” that was supposed to have some hugeimpact on the market months ago.
I’m not ready for Silver to explode yet. Keep stacking. Every day in double digits is a gift from these mutha-fuckers. Bart C. is big fat ZERO! NADA, Zilch.
Lauren L., on the other hand, is a world class hottie and smart too…..
The reason why there are so many concentrations of large positions is because they are used to suppress silver’s real value in my opinion. Also, I don’t think that Bart Chilton’s investigation is advancing because he didn’t gave that much information on the manipulation. He is in favor for the elites’ goods.
