Lawsuit alleges ADM manipulated cash ethanol market to profit from derivatives

CHICAGO - Global grain trader and food processor Archer Daniels Midland Co allegedly manipulated the price of ethanol to profit from a short position it was holding in the derivatives market, according to a lawsuit by a rival firm.

The lawsuit follows reporting by Reuters last year that ADM’s ethanol selling had led traders to complain to S&P Global Platts, which provides benchmark pricing for the physical ethanol contract at different U.S. delivery points including Chicago. Illinois-based ADM, a major ethanol producer, said in an email that it did not comment on pending litigation.

Same company that was convicted of fixing Luciane prices. Corrupt culture.
