🚨 JPMorgan’s “Infinite Money Glitch”? Silver Back in Focus

Critics are once again pointing fingers at JPMorgan, claiming the bank is pressuring the silver market — arguing that in top-tier finance, fines often amount to little more than an operating cost.

The critics’ calculation:

Alleged profits from manipulation: ~$100B (unverified)

Regulatory penalties: ~$1B

Estimated net gain: ~$99B

Implied return: ~9,900%

Verified background: In 2020, JPMorgan paid nearly $1B to settle DOJ and CFTC cases tied to spoofing in precious metals and U.S. Treasuries under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement.

Why skeptics are concerned: They argue that DPAs and monetary penalties allow institutions to write checks while senior executives avoid serious consequences — turning enforcement into a fee rather than a true deterrent.

The current narrative: According to critics, keeping paper silver prices contained reduces the risk of physical delivery squeezes and balance-sheet stress. In their view, penalties flow to regulators while the system keeps running — enforcement as “revenue sharing,” not reform.

If you align with this view, the takeaway is clear:

Be cautious with paper silver; favor allocated, self-custodied physical metal.

Expect news-driven volatility.

Treat counterparty risk as structural, not accidental.

As critics put it: “They’re not beating the system — the system allows it.” Don’t rely on what can be printed. Hold what can’t.
