This guy seems to think so, he does make some good points.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

His point was it's never been manipulated to quite this extent. I also liked it when he said that the idea of letting the market just "play itself out" is and always was a fantasy.
Words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assaults of thoughts on the unthinking.

Deny. We did land on the moon, there are no chemtrails, etc. As vega said, markets have always been manipulated by insiders to a degree, but not like this with the end loser being the average joe.
