Recent crashes in the silver and commodity markets have erased trillions of dollars in minutes — without volatility halts, emergency safeguards, or meaningful regulatory oversight. These events are routinely described as “structural” or “liquidity-driven,” yet publicly available data raises serious concerns demanding investigation.

Observable facts requiring scrutiny:

Concentrated positions: Official COMEX delivery reports show a single participant holding 633 silver futures contracts, representing 3,165,000 ounces of silver concentrated in one entity.

Synchronized price reversal: During forced selling, silver prices fell sharply and bounced precisely at the $75 level, across multiple instruments simultaneously.

Absence of market safeguards: Despite cascading margin calls and extreme volatility, no circuit breakers or emergency controls were deployed, allowing forced liquidations to continue unchecked.

Asymmetric outcomes: Producers, pension funds, and smaller investors absorbed catastrophic losses, while major counterparties emerged intact or advantaged.

These facts justify immediate and comprehensive investigation.

We demand:

-Immediate federal investigation by DOJ, CFTC, and SEC into potential fraud, manipulation, or collusion.
-Subpoena of all relevant trading records, communications, and derivatives positions for major market participants and CME Group clearing members.
-Independent review of CME Group risk controls and enforcement decisions.
-Public disclosure of findings.
-Accountability and restitution:
-If wrongdoing is found:

All responsible institutions must pay for the losses they caused.
No bailouts. No socialized losses.
Penalties must exceed the profits gained, ensuring misconduct is financially unprofitable.
Markets cannot function when losses are privatized and gains are concentrated in the few. Justice must scale with damage.

Sign this petition to demand investigation, enforcement, restitution, and zero tolerance for socialized bailouts.
