Trump manipulates stock market every day. As if that is considered a crime.
These things happen everyday everynight in the futures market...LMAO. These regulators are a joke.
3 hail marys, and no tv after 9
To the surprise of no one.
Where are the regulators? Trump probably fired the regulators & gave their salaries to rich people.
Get used to stories just like this. If you try really hard you can almost here the Goldman Sachs Base-Jumping Academy springing into action. Sure sign of the end of another corrupt-ass 'bull run' in the stock casino.
How about the liar in chief whose pronouncements have markets acting like roller coaster? Someone or ones have been making a killing.
Yet Trump does it every day.
Mention here when he enter prison that's information for public to see justice for all.
There's a job for you in the White House, my friend. You've got that Trump spirit (of breaking the law and stealing from others).
I am hopeful that the US will address the greed based actions of JPMorgan traders... it just seems strange their ALWAYS former employees... and WILL the greedy ones at the top be held responsible, PLEASE, I hope this is just 'make haste slowly'.
Where's Jamie Dimon, can't be too far away from the action. I never trusted that man for a N.Y. minute.
