    My family banked at Wells Fargo in the 90’s and we all noticed that at random times our accounts would just have an extra two or three thousand dollars. It would disappear and never show up in the bank statements. I have no idea what was going on but my dad waited until the extra money showed up on an ATM receipt. He went into the lobby and closed his accounts and walked away with an extra $4,100! That was about a months wages for him at the time. Nobody from the bank ever called or mentioned the extra money.

    Years ago I got a loan from Barclays bank (around £2000) and after filling the forms out the bank staff adviced me to get insurance for the loan. She told me that if I didn't get insurance and I couldn't pay back the loan the bank would force my family (parents and siblings) to be held liable for it. Bearing in mind I had been with Barclays over 15 years and I never took a loan before and I'd always worked. I'm an electrician in England. Years later Banks(including Barclays) were found guilty by the UK government of force selling insurance to people.

    As a former Personal Banker to one of the banks mentioned here back in 2012-14, I can tell you without a doubt that branch managers were the worst ones at pushing the boundaries of what's legal when it comes to opening accounts, your salary, employment, and how you we're treated were tied up to those performance numbers, but let's be honest here all sales positions are judged by your numbers but even tellers were pushed to open credit cards, accounts, it wasn't just the bankers lol. You were graded all the time and we had a lot of people quit because of the aggressive management style, and the branch managers got more heat from their superiors, the entire thing came from the top as far as committing fraud, If you disagree then you we're let go because of performance... unless you quit which is what I ended up doing because it wasn't right.

      I understand that he said "take physical delivery", but I am not sure if he realizes there are 2 different contract types.
      The financially settled one will clearly deviate, like most products that claim to track 1 to 1 with an underlying asset that are not directly backed by that asset 1 to 1.

    Big props for the whistleblowr banker, it seems not all of the wall streets are "banksters" hiding in a shell of a "banker" supposed and expected to work in the boundaries of law. I'm afraid that he's "burnt" on wall street, by which i mean the chance of getting a job in any of the companies who're hiring people to do their dirty biddings. Luckly it's not over completely, even if he can't find a job there i bet that he could find some investors willing to trust him their money, so he could not only continue trading on stock market but also "show a middle finger" to the crooked banks which are surely going to make his job looking there a real hell.
    Back to the point, great job mate for reporting this type of scumbaggery to the authorities, i just wish that the initial outcome (rejection of accusations) would went better, but this just is now a perfect and solid argument for insinuating collusion between banks and federal financial institutions. My entire comment is only valid if your math on the job and research is 100% solid. I think it should be because otherwise you wouldn't want to make a fool of yourself if the conclusion was somehow not correct, but i don't see any reason that you'd risk your carrer and image with a made up story.
    I'll keep my thumbs up for you and your whistleblower case success since this type of almost systemic unjustice towards normal, typical people by some money hungry banksters.

    This seems to happen every time a new financial product is approved. The financial institution create them to have one goal - for them to make money. The modern way to do that in our current regulatory framework is to create a new financial product that is so complex that the regulators and investors can't find the secret until the banks have made their money while they are protected because it was an "approved" product - and hence the fraud was "legal". This feels a lot like a casino that creates flashy games that look attractive but where the house always wins.

      Doesn't help that much of modern society has been fooled for decades in the guise of bullshit dogma, meaningless jingles like "free markets" or "deregulation" or "cut the red tape".
      Firstly, free market is as meaningless as saying go north of the north pole.
      Markets are neither free nor not free. Markets are the exchange of things upon agreed rules.
      All the mantra of free markets and deregulation and cut the red tape means is
      1) Free markets: give up our participation in the making of the agreed upon rules.
      2) Deregulation: give up your participation in the planning economic activity that would most benefit you and your fellow citizens.
      3) Cut the red tape: Don't verify that we're fucking you in the ass after you've given up what little power in democracy you had.
      People bought into those narratives. From fat fuck Rush now bloated corpse of probably reeking to the consistency of Limburger cheese Limbaugh.
      And other dogma promoters of the robber baron elites like the phony Milton Friedman who tainted his bullshit article that won him the In memory of Alfred Nobel Prize in Economics.
      To the rantings of a lunatic Ayn Rand.
      They ate up the bullshit with mouth gaping.
      And now complain the filth in their mouth is making them sick.
      Propaganda is a horrible thing. If only people kept themselves skeptical and always learning. Perhaps such dogmas wouldn't fester and putrefy.
      Now the same actors of the elites are again using time tested since antiquity of race, religion, and immigration to pit the masses against each other.

    2) Future contracts trading hundreds of times the volume of the underlying commodity is perfectly normal. "If everybody demanded delivery" situation applies without using future contracts too, when everybody goes to the spot market and buys that much physical gold right now. Instead, they just speculate on the price using those contracts. So having future contracts doesn't actually change the dynamics.

      That's certainly one way to look at it, although I'd be careful with flying those flags so soon into the investigation. I'd say its more likely they look at these cases the same way as they initially looked at Bernie Madoff until his Ponzi scheme fell apart. Initially nobody wanted to believe that Bernie was committing vast frauds. Not even when a guy singlehandedly uncovered it and attempted to get it stopped. It is not uncommon for the financial world to doubt whistleblowers as is evident in every single fraud or pyramid scheme ever exposed. The amount of trust required to make the financial sector run smoothly is probably the core reason as to why so many executives really don't want to believe a whistleblower as such an exposure also speaks volumes of their own abilities in placing trusts in specific individuals and institutions, which over time easily can lead to paranoia, which also damages the economy.

    That simplified example of leveraged and inverse ETNs does include a possibility (albeit an unlikely one) where the house would lose money: If the first two tosses were heads or the first two were tails, then after the second toss, one player would have $2250, the other would have $250, and the house would have -$500. Similarly, if the first five tosses have four heads and one tail, or four tails and one head, then one player would have $2531.25, the other would have $93.75, and the house would have -$625 (five heads or five tails in a row would be worse for the house, with $7593.75 for one player, $31.25 for the other, and the house at -$5625).
    With that said, as the number of coin-tosses approaches infinity, the proportion of patterns that result in a loss for the house approaches 0, and this is ultimately because 1.5*0.5

    Future contract of gold do not necessarily give you rights to own a piece of gold, in fact, most don't. Rather, it is a contract between you and your issuer, that this piece of contract is worth as much as a piece of gold.
    This let traders trade and speculate gold without physically owning a piece of gold. Therefore, value of a future contract of gold do not lay in the fact that it can be exchange with a gold, but that it can be traded as much as a piece of gold. So it is a misconception that everyone is going to rush to the bank with the piece of contract to get their gold out. If traders dump their gold contract, what happen is the price of gold goes down, not that we ran out of gold.
