I'm not as plugged in to the news as I used to be!

In a nutshell: After inventing a billion Digitex tokens out of thin air and convincing people that they were worth $0.01 each Adam Todd & Co were able to sell $7 million dollars worth (keeping $3 million "worth" for himself). When the tokens never really took off after that he employed bots to - you guessed it - manipulate the market (see chart in previous post).

Surprise! People get ripped off again. Kudos to the CFTC for throwing the book at this crook.
