Morning, C1,
A comment at the bottom of that RICO lawsuit article notes that this lawsuit is probably the same one, or a variation thereof, of one filed back in November of 2010. Sure appears to be, and I remember it because of the Andrew Maguire connection.
I wonder if the original one was squashed by JPMorgue and HSBC, and it's being filed again with a new twist or whatever. Perhaps they've added gold to this one. If nothing else, it should focus some needed attention on the PMs.
Here's info on the 2010 lawsuit against JPM and HSBC:
