Ariel: The Silver Market Manipulation
Ariel: The Silver Market Manipulation
2-18-2026
The Line In The Sand Has Been Drawn
The Cabal knows darn well that once a credible floor price on silver is locked in whether through national security tariffs or forced physical delivery the entire house of paper cards collapses.
Trillions in unbacked derivatives evaporate overnight.
The fraudulent fractional-reserve shell game ends.
And the Crypto Market Structure Bill (H.R. 3633 / S.3755 Digital Asset Market Clarity Act) is their next kill target because it opens the floodgates to asset-backed digital instruments that bypass their cartel entirely.
They delayed it to spring for one reason: buying time to engineer one last crash.
The undisputed kingpin. Their precious metals desk has been caught red-handed spoofing silver futures for over a decade.
$920 million DOJ fine in 2020, two traders (Michael Nowak and Gregg Smith) sent to federal prison in 2023 for exactly this. Yet in 2025 they hoarded 169 million ounces of physical silver while flooding COMEX with paper shorts classic two-faced warfare.
Dimon personally signs off on the strategy that keeps silver artificially capped so the derivatives book doesn’t explode.
HSBC (London Precious Metals Desk – 8 Canada Square):
Long-time co-conspirator. Multiple class-action settlements for silver price rigging alongside JPM. They dominate London Fix and COMEX clearing every major raid on silver price in 2025-2026 traces back to their algorithmic sell walls.
Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, UBS, Deutsche Bank:
The supporting cast. All named in ongoing Canadian and U.S. class actions for conspiracy to suppress.
They coordinate margin hikes on COMEX the instant retail starts piling in exactly what triggered the February 2026 flash crash after silver hit $83/oz in late 2025.
