It's impossible for one broker to cause a spike, It's like you trying to spike the pH of the ocean by pissing in it. Offsetting hedges and shorts would unspike him and cause him to lose his ass faster than he could ever cause a price spike. Prices spiked because the dollar is toilet paper. Total BS.

These things have real world consequences. If oil prices skyrocket, people freeze to death. If blackouts are caused by shenanigans with the electricity supply, auto wrecks occur due to inadequate street lighting. If it was just a bunch of rich fucks losing their shirts over shit like this, I'd just sit around and laugh at them. Sadly, it isn't. Some broker placing a bet….

It's called the "Enron Loophole". Our so-called "representatives in Congress" have no backbone to repeal this Act that was never heard in front of the people. Former Senator Phil Gramm, his wife former CFTC Chairman and Enron Board member Wendy Gramm and several other insiders are fully responsible for this, along with the "Credit Default Swaps" that were created by the passage of the CFMA when attached to the last budget bill Clinton signed into law. This Act is the gift that keeps on giving!
