Price manipulations in the silver markets are just a fancy way to point out that there is someone else controlling and dominating these markets by holding exceptionally big positions of silver. An entity alone or as a group, that holds a very large physical stake in a specific market will define “manipulation”, which in itself, is clearly understood.
