"London metals trader Andrew Maguire, who warned an investigator for the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission in advance about a gold and silver market manipulation to be undertaken by traders for JPMorgan Chase in February and whose whistleblowing was publicized by GATA at Thursday's CFTC hearing on metals futures trading was injured along with his wife the next day when their car was struck by a hit-and-run driver in the London area.

According to GATA's contact with Maguire, board member Adrian Douglas, Maguire and his wife were admitted to a hospital overnight and released today and are expected to recover fully.

Maguire told Douglas by telephone today that his car was struck by a car careening out of a side road. When a pedestrian who witnessed the crash tried to block the other driver's escape, the other driver accelerated at the pedestrian, causing him to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. The other driver's car then struck two other cars in escaping. But the other driver was caught by police after a chase in which police helicopters were summoned."

    An interesting coincidence, but unfortunately way too many people drive like that these days.

    Thank you for the report.

    I bet most people are not laughing. Would like to stay on top of this "accident"? Yep these things don't just happen, as was once said AND will be said again....."FOLLOW THE MONEY."

    I hope husband and wife are ok, please keep us posted.

    We can change our government spending, but do you have the courage to endure the pain? Or will you continue to sit and do nothing?

    A fascinating audio interview posted about 6 hours ago.

    Andrew Mcguire

    Click on the King World news link for the audio interview.

    Whats next in the Market Manipulators bag of tricks? Will this blow up in their face? or, do they have
    other tricks up their sleeves?

    On another note...when I first watched the movie, Wall Street, I remember being somewhat taken aback at the level of
    greed. As Gordon Gecko says, "Greed is Good"

    Fast forward in time...I watched it again the other day. My impression now is-How tame compared to todays real world.

    Positive transactions with Cladiator, Meltdown, ajbauman, LeeG, route66,DennisH,Hmann,FilamCoins,mgoodm3,terburn88,MrOrganic, weg,dcarr,guitarwes,Zubie,Barndog,wondercoin,braddick,etc...

    Keep in mind he went public after the CFTC refused to act on his information. He tried to do the right thing and no one would listen, just like they didn't listen to the Madoff warnings that were repeadly laid out in front of the SEC. Makes you wonder if they know about all the shinanigans and are just turning a blind eye or are being told to turn a blind eye.

  • "How can you invest in corrupt markets?", exactly ..... game over, it's someone's job to stop the corruption. I think the China is the only one with the balls.

    "I think the China is the only one with the balls."

    And, they've got physical too...they could take it down if they wanted to. One can only hope.
  • Any further report on the condition of Andrew McQuire? How bout the hit man?
