Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Eric Scott Hunsader of the market data consultancy Nanex in Winnetka, Illinois, whose data has proven all sorts of market manipulation, including manipulation of the gold market, has won a $750,000 whistleblower award from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which is pretty ironic, since the SEC itself should be doing the work Hunsader has done but instead is completely useless to the public interest.
MarketWatch’s report of the award is here:

A tribute to Hunsader by Zero Hedge, the Internet site that has provided crucial publicity for Hunsader’s work and should have gotten an award as well, is here:
