The question in my mind is will they someday just renege on the contract because things never turn around for them?
More likely the major shorts, JP Morgan and HBSC, will exert huge influence on the COMEX to change the rules midstream. Way back in 1980 this is how the Hunt Brothers got screwed
JP Morgan has tremendous influence on the Federal Reserve Banksters so they may get the Federal Reserve to pressure COMEX to change rules
One easy change would be --- You can have your 5000 oz silver bars but you have to wait 3-6-12 months to get them. This way the silver refineries could catch up and manufacture more of those COMEX certified 5000 ounce silver bars
