Jim did have one legit taker on his bet, not sure who it was though. I don't think Jim had any idea that the Gold and Silver markets would be so intensly manipulated like they have been. I have no doubt that Gold and Silver will have their day be unfortunately not before Jan 14th, 2011. But one never knows what will jump up and bite thoses suppressors in the butt. I'm sure Jim will not have any lasting ill affects if his bet goes the wrong way.
