<\/div>\n<\/div>\nTHIS ARTICLE ORIGINALLY APPEARED AT STATE OF THE NATION ON AUGUST 19, 2016 ENTITLED\u00a0ICE AND CME THE EXCHANGE CASINOS THAT CONTROL PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING<\/a><\/h5>\n
\nARE YOU READY TO BE RIPPED OFF IN THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL SCAM EVER?<\/h2>\n
You have heard that the stock market and Wall Street are nothing but a casino. \u201cOutright gambling\u201d you have heard or read. You may think you know what that means, but we urge you to read this article to see how deep we went to uncover the truth for Patriots.<\/p>\n
Once you read this article, there is no going back to sleep. You will want to act to preserve your savings before the collapse happens. Our markets are no different than all that proceeded us in history:\u00a0Fiat currency always ends the same way\u2014total collapse.<\/strong>\u00a0As we have told you before, we are not financial analysts and aren\u2019t giving you financial advice. We are just outlining what our research discovered and are saying in a calm voice to our fellow Patriots,\u00a0\u201cFire. There is a fire in the casino and you might want to cash out your chips and head to the exit door. Immediately.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nYou probably have a sinking feeling in your stomach about what is happening in the global financial world. It doesn\u2019t seem to make sense. You read that the U.S. stock market is hitting all-time highs, yet you hear that exchanges around the world are faltering.\u00a0 Why are we told that stocks are at record highs and volume in trading is strong, but that no one is buying? That just doesn\u2019t make sense. Why are we hearing about the robust health of the \u201cmarkets,\u201d yet seeing more and more unemployment in our community?<\/p>\n
You wonder how the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and Chicago & New York Mercantile Stock Exchange are able to achieve all-time record highs, yet you don\u2019t really want to dig too deep because all of your pension, IRA, and 401k money is invested in these markets and this would be very scary to have to think about. You have heard the chicken-little story of how the financial sky is falling time and time again. It seems like nothing ever really happens, so you think your life savings will be fine this time, too.<\/p>\n
Our research shows that this is the big one.<\/strong>\u00a0Of course, you will want to check our claims to see if you find a different conclusion. But don\u2019t take too long, the casino is getting smoky.<\/p>\nIN THIS ARTICLE YOU WILL READ ABOUT HOW THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL SCAM IN U. S. HISTORY WAS CREATED AND THE ENTITIES THAT HAVE COLLUDED TO TAKE EVERYTHING YOU OWN\u2014INCLUDING YOUR HOUSE, YOUR RETIREMENT, AND YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. THEY ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME TO COLLAPSE THE SYSTEM AND THEN THEY OWN IT ALL.<\/h4>\n
At the end of the article, we have practical solutions that you can begin to implement today to protect yourself, your family, and your community from these Globalist Pigs who want to take everything you have worked so hard to hold.<\/p>\n
EXCHANGES ARE CASINOS WHERE THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS<\/strong><\/h2>\nStock markets and commodity exchanges are casinos where the \u201chouse\u201d always wins. The act of \u201ctrading\u201d has become \u201chigh speed trading\u201d which means that the fastest computers win. The system is rigged. And the average player will never win.<\/p>\n
There are only a few winners in what we are calling \u201cExchange Casinos\u201d and those are the stock and commodity brokers who belong to a \u201cbetting establishment\u201d that is tax exempt in all of its trades and purchases.\u00a0Over $2 quadrillion per year in trades happen in just two Exchange Casinos\u2013the CME Group, Inc. and ICE, Inc.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nThese private corporations run their casinos with high speed computer programs that have high-jacked 80% of U.S. mortgages and 100% of the stocks, bonds, commodities and futures traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:ICE) and the Chicago and New York Mercantile Exchanges and the many other exchanges owned by CME and ICE.<\/p>\n
In the old days, we all knew we were taking a gamble by investing in the stock market.\u00a0 We called it, \u201cplaying the market.\u201d We found a broker who acted much like Jimmy the Greek or any \u201cnumbers runner\u201d who can \u201cmake odds\u201d on any sporting event, horse race or whatever.\u00a0 That is what a broker did, \u201crun numbers.\u201d\u00a0 They joined the stock, commodities or futures exchange and placed bets that the company would do well and return some dividends at the end of the year. But now, any bank or broker can make a \u201cbet\u201d that anything (stock, bond, commodity, corporation loses, etc.) will increase in value or have a credit event at any time during the year that will change its valuation \u2013 its net worth.<\/p>\n
These bets are now insanely out of control. They are called derivatives and\u00a0ICE and CME control the world-wide derivative exchanges.<\/strong>\u00a0ICE alone holds $780 trillion in derivatives with CME coming in a close second.<\/p>\nYou might imagine that ICE is like Las Vegas and CME like Reno. These are companies and places where gambling has been made legal. When you go to Vegas or Reno, you know you are gambling and you know the house always wins, but you play anyway because you think you may be one of the lucky ones that beats the house. You do the same when you buy a lotto ticket. At least you know that you are gambling.<\/p>\n
QUESTION:\u00a0WOULD YOU CASH IN YOUR 401K, PENSION, OR IRA AND TRADE THEM IN FOR CHIPS TO PLAY SLOTS AT THE WYNN OR MGM GRAND CASINO?<\/strong>\u00a0 IF YOU ARE INVESTED IN THE STOCK MARKET, THEN YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS.<\/h4>\nGambling is a disease that gets worse when you win. The thrill of winning is incredible because basically you \u201cget something for nothing.\u201d The stock, commodity and futures exchanges are rigged in the same way. For instance, ICE and CME have their own holding trusts and clearing houses for all of the trades that happen on their exchanges, and they control the complex system of clearing, crediting, posting, and manipulating all trades.<\/p>\n
The computers that run these exchanges are private and are not subject to federal regulation, but are in fact considered \u201cself-regulating organizations.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0 The government knows that the exchanges are rigged, but don\u2019t have the computer sophistication to monitor the system. These computer systems are as hackable as any other, and it is only a matter of time before they, too, are targeted as so many other systems have been lately.<\/p>\nThe Federal Reserve System is supposed to monitor the exchanges, but the Federal Reserve is also a private corporation that is owned by the same shareholders who own ICE and CME as well as the other private corporations who get the lion\u2019s share of military contracts also.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe exchange and market casinos should have been stopped long ago, but the feast was too good and the succors (average American investors) weren\u2019t awake to understand how they were being ripped off. \u00a0Unfortunately, out of control gambling on futures through derivatives by total insiders (both as players and regulators) has created a house of cards that will fall by removing a single key card.<\/p>\n
Just recently on August 12th<\/sup>, 2016, one derivatives brokerage firm (pre-cleared by ICE Clearing Houses) was about to lose $5 billion in gold futures until the Bank of International Settlements intervened. In other words,\u00a0the BIS can control both gold futures and bad credit default swaps on the derivative exchanges.<\/strong>\u00a0If this is true, then by simply logic it is clear that the game is controlled and rigged by the international interests that drive the BIS.<\/p>\nKEY POINT:<\/strong>\u00a0Markets no longer adjust themselves through market forces of supply and demand. Instead a small group of financial elites with high speed computers adjust markets with a click of a mouse. The fastest computer wins.<\/em><\/p>\nNO PAPER TRAILS AND FAST COMPUTERS ARE A PERFECT STORM FOR WORLD-WIDE FINANCIAL CALAMITY<\/strong><\/h2>\nBuying derivatives is buying a hedge (bet) against risk management on stocks, bonds, commodities, futures or any financial position. In fact,\u00a0nothing but gambled digits in a computer ever get \u201cexchanged.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0There is no paper trail, no paper stocks or bonds, and all clearing and recording (depository trust) is digital and held in the same computer programs that conducted the exchange. These clearing houses, like the NYSE:ICE\u2019s Depository Trust and Clearing Company or the CME\u2019s CME Clearing Company are the only thing standing in the way of a world-wide financial markets and exchanges collapse due to insane gambling on the derivatives markets.<\/p>\nWhen they collapse, it will become clear that the holding companies behind ICE and CME will still own the stocks, commodities, bonds and mortgages that were being traded on their exchanges. ICE and CME sign all stocks, bonds, commodities and futures over to a holding company that is separate from the exchange. This is done to avoid paying taxes during trading while the financial instruments are held in a\u00a0bankrupt-proof company<\/em>\u00a0(Cede and Company). Yes, bankrupt-proof by federal regulation.\u00a0Therefore, if ICE or CME\u2019s exchanges go bankrupt, they still own all the stocks, bonds, commodities, and mortgages through Cede and Company.<\/strong><\/p>\nICE and CME will come out of a world-wide collapse owning all of the stocks, commodities, bonds, and futures that were on their exchanges at the moment of collapse<\/strong>. They have no repercussions from the bankruptcy because their partner holding companies hold the bankrupt-proof ownership of everything of value being traded on their exchange. The New Stock Exchange could go bankrupt and ICE\u2019s Cede and Company would come out with over a quadrillion in real assets. The house always wins!<\/p>\nLet\u2019s take a close look at the mechanism that have created this \u201cmonster\u201d gambling system that is run by people who have gone insane with greed, power and lust for control. We will focus on the way ICE recently bought MERS, a mortgage \u201cstreet name\u201d partner used in mortgages. MERS is owned by ICE, which creates new problems for an already corrupt and failing institution of markets and exchanges.<\/p>\n
THE MOTHER OF THE SYSTEM \u2013 THE FEDERAL RESERVE<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nWithout question, the Federal Reserve System, a private corporation, needs to be audited immediately and then forced to declare bankruptcy.\u00a0We the People<\/em>\u00a0will default on the $20 trillion in interest the FED claims we owe them.\u00a0We the People<\/em>\u00a0will abolish the Federal Reserve System and use currency distributed by the U. S. Treasury to keep commerce going.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Already the U. S. Treasury has introduced the new silver and gold-backed currency into the market. And it will continue to mint silver and gold coins that are also in the U. S. money supply. As we transition from the hyper-inflated fiat bills of the Federal Reserve and accept the new U. S. Treasury currency, our road to fiscal sanity will begin.<\/p>\nThis transition can be made much more simply than imagined and without an economic collapse in America. The FED must be thoroughly audited and its assets seized by the Treasury. Claimants against the FED can stand in line behind the American people. The precarious economic mire that the FED has placed America and itself in is due to the direction of its corporate officers not the American people. Outright theft and gross misjudgment leads any private corporation into insolvency and the Fed is no exception.<\/p>\n

New U. S. Currency Already in our Money Supply<\/a><\/p>\nMORTGAGE THEFT IS ALSO LOCAL COUNTY TAX REVENUE THEFT<\/strong><\/h2>\nWe also alerted you in the same article about the linchpin in the housing market disaster that caused many American\u2019s to lose their homes to MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registry System). This mortgage industry scam uses MERS as a \u201cstraw man\u201d who \u201cowns\u201d the mortgages in its system so that banks, lenders, and servicing agencies can buy and sell the mortgage without having a properly registered title or deed in hand and avoid billions in taxes and title fees paid to counties that have always been the avenue for certified title and deed checks.<\/p>\n
The title or deed is effectively held by MERS (Merscorps Holding, Inc.) as an \u201ce-title\u201d without any documents backing the proper paper trail of who bought and sold what rights and services on the mortgage loan. It is estimated that 400,000 American mortgages were foreclosed on by actions of MERS that were not legal. Many people who challenged MERS in lawsuits won. Courts have seen hundreds of these cases. Below, we list some of the lawsuits below to show how MERS forced many people out of their homes with fraudulent accusations that lacked the proper documentation showing the legal paper trail. Many States have ruled that MERS is not accepted as the title holder and has no rights at all concerning any title they have registered.<\/p>\n
MersCorp, Inc. was created in the early 1990\u2019s by the former C.E.O.\u2019s of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Indy Mac, Countrywide, Stewart Title Insurance and the American Land Title Association.\u00a0These people used this mortgage scam to make billions bundling bad mortgages and trading them on the stock market as mortgage backed securities<\/strong>.<\/p>\nMERS holds approximately 60 million American mortgages and is a Delaware corporation whose sole shareholder is MersCorp Holding, Inc.\u00a0 MERS members have agreed to include the MERS corporate name on any mortgage that was executed in conjunction with any mortgage loan made by any member of MersCorp. Thus, in place of the original lender being named as the mortgagee on the mortgage that is supposed to secure their loan, MERS is named as the \u201cnominee\u201d for the lender who actually loaned the money to the borrower. MERS is a name that is used on the mortgage instrument in place of the actual lender. MERS was created to simplify the process of transferring mortgages by avoiding the need to re-record liens \u2013 and pay county recorder filing fees \u2013 each time a loan is assigned.\u00a0 This \u201cshortcut\u201d led to the theft of many mortgages.<\/p>\n
KEY POINT:\u00a0MERS HAS STOLEN MANY AMERICAN HOMES AND PLANS TO STEAL MORE.<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\nMERS claims that its \u201cpaperless systems fit within the legal framework of the laws of all fifty states\u201d have been challenged. MERS does not hold any promissory notes of any kind and has no legal right to foreclose or otherwise collect debts which are evidenced by promissory notes held by someone else.\u00a0 MERS is not a creditor and is not a mortgage company. MERS is merely a name that is printed on mortgages, purporting to give MERS some sort of legal status.<\/p>\n

Girdvainis, Sumter County, South Carolina Court of Common Pleas Case No. 2005-CP-43-0278.<\/strong>\u00a0All MERS assignments are suspect at best, and may in fact be fraudulent. MERS had no rights to collect on any debt because it did not extend any credit; none of the borrowers owe MERS any money; that MERS does not own the promissory notes secured by the mortgages; and that MERS does not acquire any loan or\u00a0extension of credit secured by a lien on real property.<\/p>\nFor those who need help with an active foreclosure concerning MERS, we recommend MERS 101 at: \u00a0https:\/\/stopforeclosurefraud.wordpress.com\/mers-101\/<\/a><\/p>\nSTOCK MARKET SCAM NOW OWNS YOUR STOCKS AND BONDS<\/strong><\/h2>\nWe told you in our article about\u00a0the new $100 bills and U. S. currency<\/a>\u00a0that we would share a big reveal \u2013 who stands behind the American national stock exchanges and what is their agenda. So here are the details:<\/p>\nJust as MERS is a straw man in the process of buying and selling mortgages, a practice which led to the disastrous trend of selling subprime mortgage-backed securities leading to the housing bubble exploding, there is a straw man in almost all trading of U.S. stocks, bonds, securities, futures, and every trade on the New York Stock Exchange and its other three exchanges.\u00a0This straw man in stocks is named Cede & Co., also written as Cede and Company.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nU.S. law requires that every trade that is made on any exchange must go through a clearing process and then be deposited in a place that is unable to become bankrupt.\u00a0\u00a0This \u201cmagical unbankruptable place\u201d is a fictitious company where \u201cNo One\u201d works \u2013 just like the fact that MERS has \u201cno employees.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Internet rumors point to a committee of three members of the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC) that run Cede. DTCC is the largest clearing house in the world that clears and deposits all NYSE trades and much of the NASDAQ and other exchanges throughout the country.<\/p>\nJust like with MERS, DTCC uses Cede & Co. as a straw man \u201ccompany of sorts.\u201d Cede is a partner with DTCC and are the very bankers, brokers, lenders, and fiscal agents who make up a \u201cprivate club\u201d that has been created for their exclusive use. Again, just like in the case of MERS, the DTCC is insistent upon \u201cdematerializing\u201d all paper copies of stocks, bonds, securities, etc. and moving entirely to e-notes, e-titles, e-bonds, etc.<\/p>\n
Both MERS and the DTCC are private corporations that use proprietary computer programs that track the activities of their members. MERS allows member banks, title companies, and other lenders to enter data directly into the system. The DTCC allows member brokers to input directly into their computer system.\u00a0\u00a0Thus, the members essentially run the very system they use to clear and deposit all transactions into a straw man company that avoids paying taxes for sales of mortgages and stocks<\/strong>.<\/p>\nKEY POINT:\u00a0It is estimated that MERS steals around $40 billion from county offices and untold amounts of money for skirting around paying other taxes that they are \u201cexempt\u201d from because they are members in the right club. The U.S. stock markets also avoid taxes by not charging sales tax on purchases of stock.<\/strong><\/p>\nThis scam is amazing and has already stolen billions from American homeowners and has avoided taxes better than a good offshore account.\u00a0 The Anonymous Patriots have also shared with you the scope of offshore tax evasion in the article entitled:<\/p>\n
All Roads Lead to Armageddon: From Panama to Jerusalem by Christmas<\/a><\/p>\nThe Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC) clears $1.87 quadrillion in exchanges running through the NYSE yearly. It also clears trades for other exchanges.\u00a0\u00a0Stock exchanges are \u201cmembers only\u201d clubs \u2013 tax evasion clubs.<\/strong>\u00a0Members can buy or sell huge amounts of stock and not pay a penny in taxes until the end of the year when all of the purchases and sells are added together. This is also called tax evasion. The process has been made legal by the government because the same people who own the exchanges also own the Federal Reserve System that is in charge of regulating and controlling the exchanges.<\/p>\nPrivate corporations (clubs) like the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ have their own private clearing houses that settle all exchanges within the confines of their own companies.\u00a0DTCC, the clearing house for NYSE, states that they \u201chave never made a mistake in their entire history.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0This could only be possible if they are able to correct any mistakes that arise \u201cwithout anyone knowing.\u201d\u00a0 The DTCC has three days to \u201csettle\u201d any transaction and holds the right to be the sole source that determines which brokers get what benefits.<\/p>\nThe NYSE:ICE is immune from government control and is a \u201cself-regulating organization.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0The DTCC is driven to \u201cdematerialize\u201d all paper records of stocks, bonds, notes or any financial instrument that is not completely digital and controlled by their own proprietary computer systems. The private corporations that provide \u201cmembers only clubs\u201d for transacting capital investment and stock purchases are simply tax evasion centers that gamble on the stock held by the straw man company, Cede & Co.<\/p>\nHUGE KEY POINT:\u00a0If the DTCC\u2019s 1.87 quadrillion in sales through the NYSE per year went through normal tax rates \u2013 the amount generated would make it unnecessary to charge any taxes to American citizens.<\/strong><\/p>\nWHO OWNS THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE?<\/strong><\/h2>\nJust when you thought greed could not be a fatter pig, we find out that there are bigger pigs in the pen \u2013 those that own the pig pens. The New York Stock Exchange is owned by the crooked energy futures company Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE), who picked up the corrupt energy futures market when ENRON went down and cost America $5 trillion.\u00a0 ICE bought the New York Stock Exchange (Euronext) in 2013 and renamed it NSYE:ICE.\u00a0 Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. owns the NYSE:ICE and it also trades its own company on that very exchange! This is equivalent to a Las Vegas casino betting that the house always wins.\u00a0 Think about that for a moment.\u00a0 How could they ever lose this bet?<\/p>\n
ICE, the House, is betting that its own stock will go up on an exchange that it owns and controls; and the SEC says they are regulating and controlling the securities and exchange markets. ICE is plainly in collusion with itself and also has an elaborate scam that uses a straw man to subsume the ownership of every stock and bond traded on that exchange.<\/p>\n
The blatant intent of the above described scams are borderline criminal but they do not compare to the fact that ICE just bought MERS in June of 2016 for $8.2 billion<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a company with No Employees.\u00a0 And since the mortgages that MERS \u201cowns\u201d are bundled into mortgage-backed securities traded on the NYSE:ICE,\u00a0ICE now controls and \u201cowns\u201d through MERS and Cede & Co, 60-80% of U. S. mortgages and about $54 trillion in deposited stocks and bonds and the current volume of the NYSE:ICE.<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen ICE bought MERSCorp, Holdings Inc. for $8.2 billion, it came into control of approximately $210 quadrillion (conservative estimates) in U. S. mortgage titles which became even more electronically available for mortgage-backed security trading on ICE\u2019s own NYSE:ICE.<\/p>\n
On June 17, 2016, MERSCorp Holdings, Inc. and Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE), acquired a majority equity position in MERSCorp Holdings, Inc., owner of Mortgage Electronic Registrations Systems, Inc. (collectively \u201cMERS\u201d). In addition, ICE and MERS entered into a software development agreement to modernize and enhance the MERS\u00ae System to create a completely digital form of tracking mortgage titles. MERS\u00ae System is a national electronic registry that tracks the changes in servicing rights and beneficial ownership interests in\u00a0U.S.-based mortgage loans. MERS\u00ae System uses eNotes, which are electronic promissory notes and electronic processing.<\/p>\n
QUESTION:\u00a0ARE YOU BEGINNING TO SEE HOW THIS IS THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL SCAM IN ECONOMIC HISTORY?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nNow that ICE owns MERS, it indirectly holds all of the mortgages in MERS, approximately 80% of U.S. mortgages<\/strong>\u00a0(approximately 68 million homes x $190,00.00 as the average cost of an American home \u2013 $210 quadrillion) because MERS is traded on the NYSE:ICE and therefore\u00a0every mortgage-backed security is signed over to the DTCC\u2019s nominee Cede & Co<\/strong>\u00a0(a requirement for the mortgages to be traded on the NYSE:ICE). Therefore, at any one moment ICE holds the mortgages of MERS ($210 quadrillion) and the $40 trillion in the DTCC, plus the $14 trillion in volume being currently traded.<\/p>\nRemember, ICE is a private corporation that can go bankrupt at any moment. If that happened, it would still hold the assets of Cede & Co., which include the totals above.\u00a0 Thus,\u00a0ICE holds in its computer programs the wealth of American homes and retirement funds in 401K\u2019s that are on the NYSE:ICE\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 a private company who states that they will sell any corporation they own if it is not profitable.\u00a0 The NYSE:ICE only makes about one billion a year, which is small change for the money ICE makes in its derivatives markets which hold $380 trillion in credit default swaps and other financial tools of gambling with \u201cno money down.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cDERIVATIVES,\u201d SAYS WARREN BUFFET, \u201cARE FINANCIAL WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is the same terminology for ICE that was found in the U.S. Senate permanent subcommittee on the investigative report,\u00a0The Role of Market Speculation in Rising Oil and Gas Prices: A Need to Put the Cop Back on the Beat, June 27, 2006.<\/p>\nThe following statements are from the report above and general information on the internet about ICE:<\/p>\n
Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE) operates the leading network of global futures, equity and equity options exchanges, as well as global clearing and data services across financial and commodity markets.

With its stock and options exchanges, it offers traditional stock, equity options and exchange traded products.<\/p>\n
The exchanges are supported by six clearing houses, which handle the clearing and settlement functions for more than six million daily derivatives transactions on its markets. Included on its roster of clearinghouses are:\u00a0ICE Clear US<\/a>,\u00a0ICE Clear Europe<\/a>,\u00a0ICE Clear Canada<\/a>,\u00a0ICE Clear Singapore<\/a>,\u00a0ICE Clear Netherlands<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0ICE Clear Credit<\/a>.<\/p>\nICE offers\u00a0futures<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0OTC<\/a>\u00a0contracts on a single electronic\u00a0ICE Trading Platform<\/a>. Traders can access the platform via WebICE, an internet-based service for exchange members that provides data such as: live market quotes, depth of market, portfolio creation and other key trading information.<\/p>\nIn terms of its size by volume, ICE ranks as the world\u2019s fourth largest derivatives exchange with volume of 1.99 billion contracts traded in 2015. That volume is comprised of trading from ICE Futures Europe, ICE Futures US, ICE Futures Canada and ICE Futures Singapore, formerly the\u00a0Singapore Mercantile Exchange<\/a>\u00a0on the futures side, and NYSE AMEX and NYSE Arca equity options volumes.<\/p>\nAs of December 31, 2015, ICE had 5,549 employees in its offices in Atlanta, New York, UK, Chicago and other locations around the world generating $3.1 billion in revenue in 2014. The company also ranks among the leading exchanges in terms of market capitalization, from around $2 billion after its public offering in 2005 to $31.7 billion in July 2016.<\/p>\n
CORRUPTION IN ICE<\/strong><\/h2>\nThere have been many legal problems in the history of ICE. Even from its beginning as an energy futures company it was looked at as a company that pushed the limits and never backed down from a law suit.\u00a0 ICE has taken on numerous government agencies and continually is under SEC and FCTC scrutiny. We will list a few items of interest that show that ICE is certainly not a company that minds bending the rules for economic gain.<\/p>\n
2015:\u00a0 Nationwide litigation in which pension funds and other investors accused ICE of rigging markets to benefit high-frequency traders. U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan said federal law affords exchanges \u201cabsolute immunity\u201d from the plaintiffs\u2019 key claims, including the creation of \u201ccomplex order types\u201d and proprietary data feeds that can benefit rapid traders, because of their status as a self-regulatory organization.<\/p>\n
2013: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is investigating whether high-frequency traders are routinely distorting stock and futures markets by illegally acting as buyer and seller in the same transactions.\u00a0\u00a0 Such transactions, known as wash trades, are banned by U.S. law because they can feed false information into the market and be used to manipulate prices. Intentionally taking both sides of a trade can minimize financial risk for the trading firm while potentially creating a false impression of higher volume in the market. The investigation is focused on suspected wash trades by high-speed firms in futures contracts tied to the value of crude oil, precious metals, agricultural commodities and the Standard & Poor\u2019s 500-stock index.<\/p>\n
2011: NASDAQ OMX Group Inc. and Intercontinental Exchange Inc. abandoned their joint bid to acquire NYSE Euronext after the Department of Justice informed the companies that it would file an antitrust lawsuit to block the deal. The department said that the acquisition would have substantially eliminated competition for corporate stock listing services, opening and closing stock auction services, off-exchange stock trade reporting services and real-time proprietary equity data products. The acquisition would have removed incentives for competitive pricing, high quality of service, and innovation in the listing, trading and data services these exchange operators provide to the investing public and to new and established companies that need access to U.S. stock markets. Subsequently, ICE bought NYSE Euronext.<\/p>\n
2015: Investigators also are looking at the two primary exchange operators that handle wash trades,\u00a0CME Group<\/a>\u00a0Inc.\u00a0and\u00a0Intercontinental Exchange<\/a>\u00a0Inc.\u00a0 Securities and Exchange Commission investigators have been probing whether stock exchanges have provided certain advantages to sophisticated firms that allow them to trade at the expense of regular investors. The scale of the suspicious trading is very large.<\/p>\n2016: ICE is setting up a clash with customers with its plan to generate income by licensing patents and boosting market-data fees. It recently more than doubled the cost of some subscriptions to data feeds that carry vital information on the price of stocks. Last year, ICE also boosted rates for using a critical interest-rate benchmark called Libor. Their double-digit price increases dramatically increase trading costs, hurt liquidity and ultimately threaten the U.S. markets they are supposed to empower.<\/p>\n

WHO OWNS ICE?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\u00a0<\/strong>When you look at this list below, it is good to compare it with the list in our articles entitled:<\/p>\nWho Owns the Military Industrial Complex: Part 1<\/a><\/p>\n
You probably have a sinking feeling in your stomach about what is happening in the global financial world. It doesn\u2019t seem to make sense. You read that the U.S. stock market is hitting all-time highs, yet you hear that exchanges around the world are faltering.\u00a0 Why are we told that stocks are at record highs and volume in trading is strong, but that no one is buying? That just doesn\u2019t make sense. Why are we hearing about the robust health of the \u201cmarkets,\u201d yet seeing more and more unemployment in our community?<\/p>\n
You wonder how the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and Chicago & New York Mercantile Stock Exchange are able to achieve all-time record highs, yet you don\u2019t really want to dig too deep because all of your pension, IRA, and 401k money is invested in these markets and this would be very scary to have to think about. You have heard the chicken-little story of how the financial sky is falling time and time again. It seems like nothing ever really happens, so you think your life savings will be fine this time, too.<\/p>\n
Our research shows that this is the big one.<\/strong>\u00a0Of course, you will want to check our claims to see if you find a different conclusion. But don\u2019t take too long, the casino is getting smoky.<\/p>\n At the end of the article, we have practical solutions that you can begin to implement today to protect yourself, your family, and your community from these Globalist Pigs who want to take everything you have worked so hard to hold.<\/p>\n Stock markets and commodity exchanges are casinos where the \u201chouse\u201d always wins. The act of \u201ctrading\u201d has become \u201chigh speed trading\u201d which means that the fastest computers win. The system is rigged. And the average player will never win.<\/p>\n There are only a few winners in what we are calling \u201cExchange Casinos\u201d and those are the stock and commodity brokers who belong to a \u201cbetting establishment\u201d that is tax exempt in all of its trades and purchases.\u00a0Over $2 quadrillion per year in trades happen in just two Exchange Casinos\u2013the CME Group, Inc. and ICE, Inc.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n These private corporations run their casinos with high speed computer programs that have high-jacked 80% of U.S. mortgages and 100% of the stocks, bonds, commodities and futures traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:ICE) and the Chicago and New York Mercantile Exchanges and the many other exchanges owned by CME and ICE.<\/p>\n In the old days, we all knew we were taking a gamble by investing in the stock market.\u00a0 We called it, \u201cplaying the market.\u201d We found a broker who acted much like Jimmy the Greek or any \u201cnumbers runner\u201d who can \u201cmake odds\u201d on any sporting event, horse race or whatever.\u00a0 That is what a broker did, \u201crun numbers.\u201d\u00a0 They joined the stock, commodities or futures exchange and placed bets that the company would do well and return some dividends at the end of the year. But now, any bank or broker can make a \u201cbet\u201d that anything (stock, bond, commodity, corporation loses, etc.) will increase in value or have a credit event at any time during the year that will change its valuation \u2013 its net worth.<\/p>\n These bets are now insanely out of control. They are called derivatives and\u00a0ICE and CME control the world-wide derivative exchanges.<\/strong>\u00a0ICE alone holds $780 trillion in derivatives with CME coming in a close second.<\/p>\n You might imagine that ICE is like Las Vegas and CME like Reno. These are companies and places where gambling has been made legal. When you go to Vegas or Reno, you know you are gambling and you know the house always wins, but you play anyway because you think you may be one of the lucky ones that beats the house. You do the same when you buy a lotto ticket. At least you know that you are gambling.<\/p>\n Gambling is a disease that gets worse when you win. The thrill of winning is incredible because basically you \u201cget something for nothing.\u201d The stock, commodity and futures exchanges are rigged in the same way. For instance, ICE and CME have their own holding trusts and clearing houses for all of the trades that happen on their exchanges, and they control the complex system of clearing, crediting, posting, and manipulating all trades.<\/p>\n The computers that run these exchanges are private and are not subject to federal regulation, but are in fact considered \u201cself-regulating organizations.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0 The government knows that the exchanges are rigged, but don\u2019t have the computer sophistication to monitor the system. These computer systems are as hackable as any other, and it is only a matter of time before they, too, are targeted as so many other systems have been lately.<\/p>\n The Federal Reserve System is supposed to monitor the exchanges, but the Federal Reserve is also a private corporation that is owned by the same shareholders who own ICE and CME as well as the other private corporations who get the lion\u2019s share of military contracts also.<\/strong><\/p>\n The exchange and market casinos should have been stopped long ago, but the feast was too good and the succors (average American investors) weren\u2019t awake to understand how they were being ripped off. \u00a0Unfortunately, out of control gambling on futures through derivatives by total insiders (both as players and regulators) has created a house of cards that will fall by removing a single key card.<\/p>\n Just recently on August 12th<\/sup>, 2016, one derivatives brokerage firm (pre-cleared by ICE Clearing Houses) was about to lose $5 billion in gold futures until the Bank of International Settlements intervened. In other words,\u00a0the BIS can control both gold futures and bad credit default swaps on the derivative exchanges.<\/strong>\u00a0If this is true, then by simply logic it is clear that the game is controlled and rigged by the international interests that drive the BIS.<\/p>\n KEY POINT:<\/strong>\u00a0Markets no longer adjust themselves through market forces of supply and demand. Instead a small group of financial elites with high speed computers adjust markets with a click of a mouse. The fastest computer wins.<\/em><\/p>\n Buying derivatives is buying a hedge (bet) against risk management on stocks, bonds, commodities, futures or any financial position. In fact,\u00a0nothing but gambled digits in a computer ever get \u201cexchanged.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0There is no paper trail, no paper stocks or bonds, and all clearing and recording (depository trust) is digital and held in the same computer programs that conducted the exchange. These clearing houses, like the NYSE:ICE\u2019s Depository Trust and Clearing Company or the CME\u2019s CME Clearing Company are the only thing standing in the way of a world-wide financial markets and exchanges collapse due to insane gambling on the derivatives markets.<\/p>\n When they collapse, it will become clear that the holding companies behind ICE and CME will still own the stocks, commodities, bonds and mortgages that were being traded on their exchanges. ICE and CME sign all stocks, bonds, commodities and futures over to a holding company that is separate from the exchange. This is done to avoid paying taxes during trading while the financial instruments are held in a\u00a0bankrupt-proof company<\/em>\u00a0(Cede and Company). Yes, bankrupt-proof by federal regulation.\u00a0Therefore, if ICE or CME\u2019s exchanges go bankrupt, they still own all the stocks, bonds, commodities, and mortgages through Cede and Company.<\/strong><\/p>\n ICE and CME will come out of a world-wide collapse owning all of the stocks, commodities, bonds, and futures that were on their exchanges at the moment of collapse<\/strong>. They have no repercussions from the bankruptcy because their partner holding companies hold the bankrupt-proof ownership of everything of value being traded on their exchange. The New Stock Exchange could go bankrupt and ICE\u2019s Cede and Company would come out with over a quadrillion in real assets. The house always wins!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a close look at the mechanism that have created this \u201cmonster\u201d gambling system that is run by people who have gone insane with greed, power and lust for control. We will focus on the way ICE recently bought MERS, a mortgage \u201cstreet name\u201d partner used in mortgages. MERS is owned by ICE, which creates new problems for an already corrupt and failing institution of markets and exchanges.<\/p>\n Without question, the Federal Reserve System, a private corporation, needs to be audited immediately and then forced to declare bankruptcy.\u00a0We the People<\/em>\u00a0will default on the $20 trillion in interest the FED claims we owe them.\u00a0We the People<\/em>\u00a0will abolish the Federal Reserve System and use currency distributed by the U. S. Treasury to keep commerce going.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Already the U. S. Treasury has introduced the new silver and gold-backed currency into the market. And it will continue to mint silver and gold coins that are also in the U. S. money supply. As we transition from the hyper-inflated fiat bills of the Federal Reserve and accept the new U. S. Treasury currency, our road to fiscal sanity will begin.<\/p>\n This transition can be made much more simply than imagined and without an economic collapse in America. The FED must be thoroughly audited and its assets seized by the Treasury. Claimants against the FED can stand in line behind the American people. The precarious economic mire that the FED has placed America and itself in is due to the direction of its corporate officers not the American people. Outright theft and gross misjudgment leads any private corporation into insolvency and the Fed is no exception.<\/p>\n If this information is new to you then please read our article:<\/p>\n New U. S. Currency Already in our Money Supply<\/a><\/p>\n We also alerted you in the same article about the linchpin in the housing market disaster that caused many American\u2019s to lose their homes to MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registry System). This mortgage industry scam uses MERS as a \u201cstraw man\u201d who \u201cowns\u201d the mortgages in its system so that banks, lenders, and servicing agencies can buy and sell the mortgage without having a properly registered title or deed in hand and avoid billions in taxes and title fees paid to counties that have always been the avenue for certified title and deed checks.<\/p>\n The title or deed is effectively held by MERS (Merscorps Holding, Inc.) as an \u201ce-title\u201d without any documents backing the proper paper trail of who bought and sold what rights and services on the mortgage loan. It is estimated that 400,000 American mortgages were foreclosed on by actions of MERS that were not legal. Many people who challenged MERS in lawsuits won. Courts have seen hundreds of these cases. Below, we list some of the lawsuits below to show how MERS forced many people out of their homes with fraudulent accusations that lacked the proper documentation showing the legal paper trail. Many States have ruled that MERS is not accepted as the title holder and has no rights at all concerning any title they have registered.<\/p>\n MersCorp, Inc. was created in the early 1990\u2019s by the former C.E.O.\u2019s of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Indy Mac, Countrywide, Stewart Title Insurance and the American Land Title Association.\u00a0These people used this mortgage scam to make billions bundling bad mortgages and trading them on the stock market as mortgage backed securities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n MERS holds approximately 60 million American mortgages and is a Delaware corporation whose sole shareholder is MersCorp Holding, Inc.\u00a0 MERS members have agreed to include the MERS corporate name on any mortgage that was executed in conjunction with any mortgage loan made by any member of MersCorp. Thus, in place of the original lender being named as the mortgagee on the mortgage that is supposed to secure their loan, MERS is named as the \u201cnominee\u201d for the lender who actually loaned the money to the borrower. MERS is a name that is used on the mortgage instrument in place of the actual lender. MERS was created to simplify the process of transferring mortgages by avoiding the need to re-record liens \u2013 and pay county recorder filing fees \u2013 each time a loan is assigned.\u00a0 This \u201cshortcut\u201d led to the theft of many mortgages.<\/p>\n MERS claims that its \u201cpaperless systems fit within the legal framework of the laws of all fifty states\u201d have been challenged. MERS does not hold any promissory notes of any kind and has no legal right to foreclose or otherwise collect debts which are evidenced by promissory notes held by someone else.\u00a0 MERS is not a creditor and is not a mortgage company. MERS is merely a name that is printed on mortgages, purporting to give MERS some sort of legal status.<\/p>\n US BANK, NA v.

Girdvainis, Sumter County, South Carolina Court of Common Pleas Case No. 2005-CP-43-0278.<\/strong>\u00a0All MERS assignments are suspect at best, and may in fact be fraudulent. MERS had no rights to collect on any debt because it did not extend any credit; none of the borrowers owe MERS any money; that MERS does not own the promissory notes secured by the mortgages; and that MERS does not acquire any loan or\u00a0extension of credit secured by a lien on real property.<\/p>\n For those who need help with an active foreclosure concerning MERS, we recommend MERS 101 at: \u00a0https:\/\/stopforeclosurefraud.wordpress.com\/mers-101\/<\/a><\/p>\n We told you in our article about\u00a0the new $100 bills and U. S. currency<\/a>\u00a0that we would share a big reveal \u2013 who stands behind the American national stock exchanges and what is their agenda. So here are the details:<\/p>\n Just as MERS is a straw man in the process of buying and selling mortgages, a practice which led to the disastrous trend of selling subprime mortgage-backed securities leading to the housing bubble exploding, there is a straw man in almost all trading of U.S. stocks, bonds, securities, futures, and every trade on the New York Stock Exchange and its other three exchanges.\u00a0This straw man in stocks is named Cede & Co., also written as Cede and Company.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n U.S. law requires that every trade that is made on any exchange must go through a clearing process and then be deposited in a place that is unable to become bankrupt.\u00a0\u00a0This \u201cmagical unbankruptable place\u201d is a fictitious company where \u201cNo One\u201d works \u2013 just like the fact that MERS has \u201cno employees.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Internet rumors point to a committee of three members of the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC) that run Cede. DTCC is the largest clearing house in the world that clears and deposits all NYSE trades and much of the NASDAQ and other exchanges throughout the country.<\/p>\n Just like with MERS, DTCC uses Cede & Co. as a straw man \u201ccompany of sorts.\u201d Cede is a partner with DTCC and are the very bankers, brokers, lenders, and fiscal agents who make up a \u201cprivate club\u201d that has been created for their exclusive use. Again, just like in the case of MERS, the DTCC is insistent upon \u201cdematerializing\u201d all paper copies of stocks, bonds, securities, etc. and moving entirely to e-notes, e-titles, e-bonds, etc.<\/p>\n Both MERS and the DTCC are private corporations that use proprietary computer programs that track the activities of their members. MERS allows member banks, title companies, and other lenders to enter data directly into the system. The DTCC allows member brokers to input directly into their computer system.\u00a0\u00a0Thus, the members essentially run the very system they use to clear and deposit all transactions into a straw man company that avoids paying taxes for sales of mortgages and stocks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n KEY POINT:\u00a0It is estimated that MERS steals around $40 billion from county offices and untold amounts of money for skirting around paying other taxes that they are \u201cexempt\u201d from because they are members in the right club. The U.S. stock markets also avoid taxes by not charging sales tax on purchases of stock.<\/strong><\/p>\n This scam is amazing and has already stolen billions from American homeowners and has avoided taxes better than a good offshore account.\u00a0 The Anonymous Patriots have also shared with you the scope of offshore tax evasion in the article entitled:<\/p>\n All Roads Lead to Armageddon: From Panama to Jerusalem by Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n The Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC) clears $1.87 quadrillion in exchanges running through the NYSE yearly. It also clears trades for other exchanges.\u00a0\u00a0Stock exchanges are \u201cmembers only\u201d clubs \u2013 tax evasion clubs.<\/strong>\u00a0Members can buy or sell huge amounts of stock and not pay a penny in taxes until the end of the year when all of the purchases and sells are added together. This is also called tax evasion. The process has been made legal by the government because the same people who own the exchanges also own the Federal Reserve System that is in charge of regulating and controlling the exchanges.<\/p>\n Private corporations (clubs) like the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ have their own private clearing houses that settle all exchanges within the confines of their own companies.\u00a0DTCC, the clearing house for NYSE, states that they \u201chave never made a mistake in their entire history.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0This could only be possible if they are able to correct any mistakes that arise \u201cwithout anyone knowing.\u201d\u00a0 The DTCC has three days to \u201csettle\u201d any transaction and holds the right to be the sole source that determines which brokers get what benefits.<\/p>\n The NYSE:ICE is immune from government control and is a \u201cself-regulating organization.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0The DTCC is driven to \u201cdematerialize\u201d all paper records of stocks, bonds, notes or any financial instrument that is not completely digital and controlled by their own proprietary computer systems. The private corporations that provide \u201cmembers only clubs\u201d for transacting capital investment and stock purchases are simply tax evasion centers that gamble on the stock held by the straw man company, Cede & Co.<\/p>\n HUGE KEY POINT:\u00a0If the DTCC\u2019s 1.87 quadrillion in sales through the NYSE per year went through normal tax rates \u2013 the amount generated would make it unnecessary to charge any taxes to American citizens.<\/strong><\/p>\n Just when you thought greed could not be a fatter pig, we find out that there are bigger pigs in the pen \u2013 those that own the pig pens. The New York Stock Exchange is owned by the crooked energy futures company Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE), who picked up the corrupt energy futures market when ENRON went down and cost America $5 trillion.\u00a0 ICE bought the New York Stock Exchange (Euronext) in 2013 and renamed it NSYE:ICE.\u00a0 Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. owns the NYSE:ICE and it also trades its own company on that very exchange! This is equivalent to a Las Vegas casino betting that the house always wins.\u00a0 Think about that for a moment.\u00a0 How could they ever lose this bet?<\/p>\n ICE, the House, is betting that its own stock will go up on an exchange that it owns and controls; and the SEC says they are regulating and controlling the securities and exchange markets. ICE is plainly in collusion with itself and also has an elaborate scam that uses a straw man to subsume the ownership of every stock and bond traded on that exchange.<\/p>\n The blatant intent of the above described scams are borderline criminal but they do not compare to the fact that ICE just bought MERS in June of 2016 for $8.2 billion<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a company with No Employees.\u00a0 And since the mortgages that MERS \u201cowns\u201d are bundled into mortgage-backed securities traded on the NYSE:ICE,\u00a0ICE now controls and \u201cowns\u201d through MERS and Cede & Co, 60-80% of U. S. mortgages and about $54 trillion in deposited stocks and bonds and the current volume of the NYSE:ICE.<\/strong><\/p>\n When ICE bought MERSCorp, Holdings Inc. for $8.2 billion, it came into control of approximately $210 quadrillion (conservative estimates) in U. S. mortgage titles which became even more electronically available for mortgage-backed security trading on ICE\u2019s own NYSE:ICE.<\/p>\n On June 17, 2016, MERSCorp Holdings, Inc. and Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE), acquired a majority equity position in MERSCorp Holdings, Inc., owner of Mortgage Electronic Registrations Systems, Inc. (collectively \u201cMERS\u201d). In addition, ICE and MERS entered into a software development agreement to modernize and enhance the MERS\u00ae System to create a completely digital form of tracking mortgage titles. MERS\u00ae System is a national electronic registry that tracks the changes in servicing rights and beneficial ownership interests in\u00a0U.S.-based mortgage loans. MERS\u00ae System uses eNotes, which are electronic promissory notes and electronic processing.<\/p>\n QUESTION:\u00a0ARE YOU BEGINNING TO SEE HOW THIS IS THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL SCAM IN ECONOMIC HISTORY?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now that ICE owns MERS, it indirectly holds all of the mortgages in MERS, approximately 80% of U.S. mortgages<\/strong>\u00a0(approximately 68 million homes x $190,00.00 as the average cost of an American home \u2013 $210 quadrillion) because MERS is traded on the NYSE:ICE and therefore\u00a0every mortgage-backed security is signed over to the DTCC\u2019s nominee Cede & Co<\/strong>\u00a0(a requirement for the mortgages to be traded on the NYSE:ICE). Therefore, at any one moment ICE holds the mortgages of MERS ($210 quadrillion) and the $40 trillion in the DTCC, plus the $14 trillion in volume being currently traded.<\/p>\n Remember, ICE is a private corporation that can go bankrupt at any moment. If that happened, it would still hold the assets of Cede & Co., which include the totals above.\u00a0 Thus,\u00a0ICE holds in its computer programs the wealth of American homes and retirement funds in 401K\u2019s that are on the NYSE:ICE\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 a private company who states that they will sell any corporation they own if it is not profitable.\u00a0 The NYSE:ICE only makes about one billion a year, which is small change for the money ICE makes in its derivatives markets which hold $380 trillion in credit default swaps and other financial tools of gambling with \u201cno money down.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDERIVATIVES,\u201d SAYS WARREN BUFFET, \u201cARE FINANCIAL WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n When Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. began trading in the energy futures exchange,\u00a0ICE was called a \u201cdark and unregulated\u201d exchange\u00a0<\/strong>by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce\u2019s subcommittee on oversight and investigation, held from December 10-14, 2007. It is the same terminology for ICE that was found in the U.S. Senate permanent subcommittee on the investigative report,\u00a0The Role of Market Speculation in Rising Oil and Gas Prices: A Need to Put the Cop Back on the Beat, June 27, 2006.<\/p>\n The following statements are from the report above and general information on the internet about ICE:<\/p>\n Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE) operates the leading network of global futures, equity and equity options exchanges, as well as global clearing and data services across financial and commodity markets. The New York Stock Exchange is the world leader in capital raising, listings and equities trading. Trademarks of ICE and\/or its affiliates include Intercontinental Exchange, ICE, ICE block design, NYSE and New York Stock Exchange, Interactive Data and Trayport.<\/p>\n Atlanta-based Intercontinental Exchange Group (ICE) is a global exchange, clearing, financial data and technology company, operating multiple markets and services across nine different asset classes. ICE operates 11 international regulated exchanges including its ICE futures and OTC exchanges in the US, Canada, Europe and Singapore. It also is the parent company of the well-known\u00a0New York Stock Exchange<\/a>\u00a0and related securities exchanges. Today, the company is among the largest exchange groups in the world that has grown dramatically via a succession of acquisitions of other exchanges, technology firms and data service providers.<\/p>\n NYSE: ICE, a publicly traded company since 2005, lists more than 12,000 derivatives and securities contracts on its markets. Its derivatives exchange properties include five regulated futures exchanges:\u00a0ICE Futures US<\/a>,\u00a0ICE Futures Europe<\/a>,\u00a0ICE Futures Canada<\/a>,\u00a0ICE Futures Singapore<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0ICE Endex<\/a>. On the securities side, ICE operates three stock exchanges:\u00a0New York Stock Exchange<\/a>,\u00a0NYSE Arca<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0NYSE MKT<\/a>\u00a0(formerly\u00a0AMEX<\/a>), plus two US equity options exchanges\u00a0NYSE Arca<\/a>\u00a0Options,\u00a0NYSE AMEX<\/a>\u00a0Options and a corporate bond platform, NYSE Bonds.<\/p>\n In the OTC (Over the Counter) space, ICE operates energy platforms ICE OTC Energy as well as credit and swaps markets such as\u00a0ICE Swap Trade<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Creditex<\/a>.<\/p>\n On its derivatives exchanges, ICE offers futures and OTC contracts on: energies, softs, grains, currencies, emissions, precious metals, interest rates, bonds as well as credit and equity indexes. With its stock and options exchanges, it offers traditional stock, equity options and exchange traded products.<\/p>\n The exchanges are supported by six clearing houses, which handle the clearing and settlement functions for more than six million daily derivatives transactions on its markets. Included on its roster of clearinghouses are:\u00a0ICE Clear US<\/a>,\u00a0ICE Clear Europe<\/a>,\u00a0ICE Clear Canada<\/a>,\u00a0ICE Clear Singapore<\/a>,\u00a0ICE Clear Netherlands<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0ICE Clear Credit<\/a>.<\/p>\n ICE offers\u00a0futures<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0OTC<\/a>\u00a0contracts on a single electronic\u00a0ICE Trading Platform<\/a>. Traders can access the platform via WebICE, an internet-based service for exchange members that provides data such as: live market quotes, depth of market, portfolio creation and other key trading information.<\/p>\n In terms of its size by volume, ICE ranks as the world\u2019s fourth largest derivatives exchange with volume of 1.99 billion contracts traded in 2015. That volume is comprised of trading from ICE Futures Europe, ICE Futures US, ICE Futures Canada and ICE Futures Singapore, formerly the\u00a0Singapore Mercantile Exchange<\/a>\u00a0on the futures side, and NYSE AMEX and NYSE Arca equity options volumes.<\/p>\n As of December 31, 2015, ICE had 5,549 employees in its offices in Atlanta, New York, UK, Chicago and other locations around the world generating $3.1 billion in revenue in 2014. The company also ranks among the leading exchanges in terms of market capitalization, from around $2 billion after its public offering in 2005 to $31.7 billion in July 2016.<\/p>\n There have been many legal problems in the history of ICE. Even from its beginning as an energy futures company it was looked at as a company that pushed the limits and never backed down from a law suit.\u00a0 ICE has taken on numerous government agencies and continually is under SEC and FCTC scrutiny. We will list a few items of interest that show that ICE is certainly not a company that minds bending the rules for economic gain.<\/p>\n 2015:\u00a0 Nationwide litigation in which pension funds and other investors accused ICE of rigging markets to benefit high-frequency traders. U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan said federal law affords exchanges \u201cabsolute immunity\u201d from the plaintiffs\u2019 key claims, including the creation of \u201ccomplex order types\u201d and proprietary data feeds that can benefit rapid traders, because of their status as a self-regulatory organization.<\/p>\n 2013: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is investigating whether high-frequency traders are routinely distorting stock and futures markets by illegally acting as buyer and seller in the same transactions.\u00a0\u00a0 Such transactions, known as wash trades, are banned by U.S. law because they can feed false information into the market and be used to manipulate prices. Intentionally taking both sides of a trade can minimize financial risk for the trading firm while potentially creating a false impression of higher volume in the market. The investigation is focused on suspected wash trades by high-speed firms in futures contracts tied to the value of crude oil, precious metals, agricultural commodities and the Standard & Poor\u2019s 500-stock index.<\/p>\n 2011: NASDAQ OMX Group Inc. and Intercontinental Exchange Inc. abandoned their joint bid to acquire NYSE Euronext after the Department of Justice informed the companies that it would file an antitrust lawsuit to block the deal. The department said that the acquisition would have substantially eliminated competition for corporate stock listing services, opening and closing stock auction services, off-exchange stock trade reporting services and real-time proprietary equity data products. The acquisition would have removed incentives for competitive pricing, high quality of service, and innovation in the listing, trading and data services these exchange operators provide to the investing public and to new and established companies that need access to U.S. stock markets. Subsequently, ICE bought NYSE Euronext.<\/p>\n 2015: Investigators also are looking at the two primary exchange operators that handle wash trades,\u00a0CME Group<\/a>\u00a0Inc.\u00a0and\u00a0Intercontinental Exchange<\/a>\u00a0Inc.\u00a0 Securities and Exchange Commission investigators have been probing whether stock exchanges have provided certain advantages to sophisticated firms that allow them to trade at the expense of regular investors. The scale of the suspicious trading is very large.<\/p>\n 2016: ICE is setting up a clash with customers with its plan to generate income by licensing patents and boosting market-data fees. It recently more than doubled the cost of some subscriptions to data feeds that carry vital information on the price of stocks. Last year, ICE also boosted rates for using a critical interest-rate benchmark called Libor. Their double-digit price increases dramatically increase trading costs, hurt liquidity and ultimately threaten the U.S. markets they are supposed to empower.<\/p>\n ICE Owns Exchanges, Clearing Houses, Technology, Data Services<\/strong><\/p>\n ICE Futures U.S<\/strong>. is the second largest\u00a0derivatives<\/a>\u00a0exchange in the United States<\/p>\n ICE Futures Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n ICE Futures Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n ICE Futures Singapore<\/strong>, formerly the\u00a0Singapore Mercantile Exchange<\/a><\/p>\n ICE Endex<\/strong>\u00a0is an energy exchange in continental Europe, providing European natural gas and power markets<\/p>\n New York Stock Exchange<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n NYSE MKT<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is the counterpart securities exchange to NYSE<\/p>\n NYSE Arca<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a fully-electronic marketplace<\/p>\n NYSE Bonds<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a bond market,<\/p>\n NYSE Arca Options<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a \u201chybrid market\u201d which offers both electronic and floor executed options<\/p>\n NYSE Amex Options<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a US options exchange<\/p>\n ICE OTC Energy<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is the internet-based global OTC energy market<\/p>\n Creditex<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0a credit derivatives brokerage<\/p>\n ICE Swap Trade<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is a cleared\u00a0swap execution facility<\/a><\/p>\n ICE Clear U.S.<\/strong>\u00a0is a Derivatives Clearing Organization<\/p>\n ICE Clear Europe<\/strong>\u00a0serves the futures markets of ICE Futures Europe and ICE\u2019s OTC energy markets<\/p>\n ICE Clear Canada<\/strong>\u00a0serves the markets of ICE Futures Canada<\/p>\n ICE Clear Singapore<\/strong>\u00a0is the clearing facility for\u00a0ICE Futures Singapore<\/a><\/p>\n ICE Clear Credit<\/strong>\u00a0formerly,\u00a0ICE Trust U.S.<\/a>\u00a0is a U.S. based credit default swap clearing house<\/p>\n The Clearing Corporation<\/strong>\u00a0was established in 1925 as the nation\u2019s first independent futures clearing house<\/p>\n ICE Clear Netherlands<\/strong>\u00a0is ICE\u2019s continental European clearing house<\/p>\n ICE Benchmark Administration<\/strong>\u00a0or IBA is the administrator of three key global benchmarks:<\/p>\n ICE\u00a0LIBOR<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0London Interbank Offered Rate<\/a>, (formerly the BBA LIBOR)<\/p>\n ICE Swap Rate<\/strong><\/p>\n LBMA Gold Price<\/strong>, ICE was given authority to oversee the London Bullion Market Association Gold Fixing Price, established in 1919.<\/p>\n 2001:\u00a0International Petroleum Exchange<\/a>, renamed\u00a0ICE Futures Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2007:\u00a0New York Board of Trade<\/a>\u00a0and clearing house, renamed\u00a0ICE Futures U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n 2007:\u00a0ChemConnect<\/a>\u2018s markets for natural gas liquids propane and other chemicals.<\/p>\n 2007:\u00a0Winnipeg Commodity Exchange<\/a>\u00a0renamed\u00a0ICE Futures Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2007: Chatham Energy, an OTC energy brokerage firm.<\/p>\n 2008:\u00a0YellowJacket Software a peer-to-peer instant messaging trading renamed ICE Chat.<\/p>\n 2008:\u00a0Creditex Group, Inc.<\/a>, a\u00a0credit default swaps<\/a>\u00a0processor in the U.S., Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n 2009:\u00a0The Clearing Corporation<\/a>\u00a0clearing services for CDS rebranded as ICE Clear Credit.<\/p>\n 2010:\u00a0Climate Exchange plc<\/a>\u00a0including the\u00a0Chicago and European Climate Exchange<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2011:\u00a0Cetip<\/a>, Brazil\u2019s largest\u00a0clearinghouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2012:\u00a0WhenTech<\/a>, a technology focused on options valuation, analytics and risk management.<\/p>\n 2013:\u00a0APX-Endex\u2019s derivatives renamed the company ICE Endex.
