This is one of the reasons why centralized exchanges are not a good idea, because governments will control these entities. Today it is investigations against manipulators or speculative investors and tomorrow it is a witch hunt against all Crypto currency owners. The KYC/AML regulations identifies all Crypto currency users that use these exchanges, so a raid on these people can be easily arranged with that data.

Make sure you do not store all your Crypto currency info and paper wallets in the location you gave up to these exchanges.

The more information is dripping out of the manipulative upper layer, the more people will realize that the all time high of $20,000 was fake as hell.

I am quite certain that if there wouldn't be any future markets going live last year, that there wouldn't even be a $10,000 all time high. If we discard the chart indicating the announcement and launch of the future markets, we at current levels are hovering around actual all time high levels. If we look at how miners continuously fire up their machines and pump the difficulty to record highs, it is another sign that current levels aren't low, but maybe even too high.

All massive pumps that we went through historically, were all manipulated. Currently with futures and options manipulation has become more rewarding than ever before.

I wonder when BitMex will be subject to investigation. They hide some deep shit, lol.
