Very well thought out, thank you for taking the time to reply. Indeed his explanation makes sense in a certain context. However, if he shut it down because it was illegal, then he needs no other explanation. Consider that his primary explanation, the first thing he says is that he's worried about the clearing system. Not the legality...this raises an eyebrow.

Not saying he's wrong, just that framed in the context of deep-pocketed, connected market players losing money then he'd better be pretty damned specific.

Like you, I won't bother to dignify the comments on the video. There is a mob with pitchforks out there. The ending will not be pretty and the repercussions will be felt for a long time.
