I am talking about bitcoin, not whatever markets you are talking about. Banks and hedge funds break laws all the time and get fined for it. They rehypothecate gold, the short sell equities without borrowing the underlying, and so on.

Tell me, if you would, exactly how "they" are suppressing the price of bitcoin?
