Now everyone knows the real culprit is still the West. But the value of this incident, I think, is probably just a few days of trending topic value. If the Jane Street incident doesn’t escalate to at least the SEC/CFTC level or involve criminal charges, then the future trend of the financial world will be clear to everyone: broad financial manipulation will become systematic, normalized, and widespread. The core of major financial power in this world is moving toward exclusivity and manipulation. This isn’t just driven by the interests of a few Wall Street institutions, but also tacitly approved and agreed upon at the national power level in Washington. To maintain the Ponzi-like fiat economic system, systematic manipulation is the direction of development. Legislative intervention, weaponization of government regulatory agencies, and intervention by exchange institutions (like CME changing silver rules) are all part of the manipulation chain. Jane Street is just the last link in the chain. If you’re not part of the manipulation group, you’re their cost. The horn of the great PVP era has already sounded.
