Someone Attempted to Kill the CFTC Whistleblower


6:39p ET Saturday, March 27, 2010
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
London metals trader Andrew Maguire, who warned an investigator for the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission in advance about a gold and silver market manipulation to be undertaken by traders for JPMorgan Chase in February and whose whistleblowing was publicized by GATA at Thursday's CFTC hearing on metals futures trading --
-- was injured along with his wife the next day when their car was struck by a hit-and-run driver in the London area.
According to GATA's contact with Maguire, board member Adrian Douglas, Maguire and his wife were admitted to a hospital overnight and released today and are expected to recover fully.
Maguire told Douglas by telephone today that his car was struck by a car careening out of a side road. When a pedestrian who witnessed the crash tried to block the other driver's escape, the other driver accelerated at the pedestrian, causing him to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. The other driver's car then struck two other cars in escaping. But the other driver was caught by police after a chase in which police helicopters were summoned.
We'll convey more information about the incident as it becomes available.

  2. I think they caught the guy I will be interested to see who paid him for the hit. If we lived in a sane world whoever ordered the hit would be charged with attempted murder. It won't happen. It looks like jp morgan has there hands all over this.

  6. Surprise, surprise! If you think this incident is unusual, then you need to go back to watching your march madness or american idol.

    Check out the supposed suicide of the Washington madam, she hung herself-LOL. There are thousands of cases like this, I think the (known)count for Clinton friends and associates is around 150 dead, Bushes is probably in the thousands.

    We are so screwed.

  9. Due to a job loss, among other unfortunate events, I am having problems with major depression and acute anxiety. In a shot of desperation, I tried a few tricyclics with little to no benefit (felt sick, headache and sleepy); and couldn't tolerate them for more than a few days.

  10. I think that this was really a terrifying event which should not have taken place. I was really moved after reading it.
