Seeking to recover the lossess his company suffered in the early 1980s, the trader developed and began to implement a grand plan to corner the world's copper markets and drive up the value of the metal. The the fraud was revealed 10 years later. Over this period, the copper price increased 1.5-2 times: up to $2,700-3,000 per ton.

2021-04-10 15:00:23 This trader's peculiar sense of honor and perception of corporate ethics prevented him from making a fortune. Wanting to make amends for the damage done to his own company, he initiated a tremendous commodity affair that rocked global markets at the end of the 20th century.
