SynopsisFamed Nelson Bunker Hunt, Mahmoud Fustok - brother in law to Crown Prince (later King) Abdullah of Saudi Arabia - and with others manipulated silver prices from $9 to $51 in four months in 1979-80 while meeting at thoroughbred horse events, five-star hotels and posh restaurants. When prices crashed three months later, and the Hunt family defaulted on debts, their defaults threatened the US economy with collapse. Paul Volcker, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, engineered a highly controversial bail out of Bunker Hunt to save the US economy. Squeezing Silver is a legal thriller that takes the reader inside the courtroom of one of the most important trials of recent decades, which chronicled the near collapse of the US economy., Famed oil tycoon Nelson Bunker Hunt, along with Saudi sheikhs, manipulated silver prices in 1979-80 while meeting at thoroughbred horse events, five-star hotels, and posh restaurants. When prices spiked from $9 to $51 an ounce, they pocketed billions while thousands were cheated, including Minpeco, Peru's minerals agent. Regulators conflicted by their dealings with Bunker failed to stop his clear conspiracy. When prices crashed two months later, the Hunt defaults threatened the US economy with collapse. Paul Volcker, Federal Reserve Chairman, engineered the first controversial too-big-to-fail bailout to save the US economy. Squeezing Silver is a legal thriller that takes the reader inside the courtroom of one of the most important trials of recent decades, recreating real-life confrontations with key witnesses, premier defense lawyers, and a respected judge.
