Ted Butler: CFTC's long silver investigation missed what the agency just fined

Section: Daily Dispatches

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Rather than congratulate the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission for taking note last week of the manipulation of the monetary metals futures markets, silver market rigging whistleblower Ted Butler today notes acerbically that the violations just cited by the commission took place during its interminable investigation of the silver market, which found ... nothing at all!

Now, Butler writes, what about JPMorganChase's domination of the silver market? Will the CFTC examine that?

Butler's commentary is headlined "Unfinished Business" and it's posted at GoldSeek's companion site, SilverSeek, here --
