CFTC Go Fund Me Update

The following video is an update to the GoFundMe campaign that we launched in 2021 in order to take action against the CFTC for what I felt was a lack of oversight in regards to the silver trading on the COMEX.

We were able to contact a lawyer last year who's had success in this type of case, yet unfortunately we were told that there is a high bar for the level of evidence that's required to have a legitimate case, and that what we shared with them did not meet that bar. Additionally, they also expressed that it's difficult to take action against government officials, and that this is something that lawyers are often quite reticent to do.

In the follow link is the letter I sent to the lawyers, which was written not only to notify them of what we felt were the infractions, but also phrased so that anyone else could see clearly what we felt had happened, and have the information so that it would be available to everyone should they still want to attempt to file a claim.

(you can also see all of the evidence of silver manipulation that we've compiled in the time we've been doing the channel here: https://arcadiaeconomics.com/evidence-room/)

Lastly, in terms of the funds that were received, we mentioned in the original GoFundMe that if the CFTC did respond and explain the comments about what happened in the silver market, that we would donate the money to a worthy charitable cause. The CFTC never did answer any of our communications, and therefore we've decided to offer anyone who donated the option to have their money returned, (you can contact me at Chris @ ArcadiaEconomics.com) or else it will go to a charitable cause.

This is explained further in the video, and in terms of some causes that we are considering for donations, I've listed a few that I would recommend , and we are also open to other suggestions that people feel are worthy organizations. So if you do have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments below.
