Quarry_Rock Not us lol

If WS aka fraudstreet fixated on death toll from common flu every year in the US and around the globe, the Dow would be at 1,800, bottom line folks, it’s a rigged computerized organized crime ring, do not give your money to these criminals..

Quarry_Rock “the outbreak has already taken more than 170 lives” meanwhile the flu has taken that many lives IN ONE DAY. So laughable.

Unlimited leverage would give one the ability to set the price of anything/everything. If they were willing to give little old me 100:1, how much is available to important people? I don't see any reason why there must, necessarily, be a limit.
