Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Call us traitors if you want, but advocates of free and transparent markets in the monetary metals may be pleased by tonight's reports that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has a plea deal with the U.S. government that will convict him of a felony charge of conspiring to obtain and distribute classified information, sentence him to time served in the United Kingdom while resisting extradition, and allow him to return to his native Australia.

For 16 years the OCC has been reporting that just four megabanks are responsible for more than 80% of the trillions of dollars in bank derivatives.

No words below will do justice to him, or his legacy.
