"so the best argument they could make is that we can't prove criminal activity on the part of the banks yet! is it any wonder that bernie madoff got away with his ponzi scheme for ten years? even when investigators are presented with mountains of evidence, they still don't accept it."

Your above statement indicates you have not read the article or looked at the charts other than the sentence concerning "criminal activity" . Remember I'm just the messenger. Try an analysis of the points contained in the article rather than using terms like Bernie Madoff & all the points which are not directed at the article from Hard Assets.

Presently all my holdings are in PM's. I like to see both sides of a coin. I can't recall the last time I saw anything that challenged the manipulation &/or GATA group.
