The Global Financial Markets Association has announced that Blythe Masters, head of global commodities at JP Morgan Chase, will take over as chair from Michele Faissola, global head of rates and commodities at Deutsche Bank, on 1 February.

Reports indicate that JP Morgan has hired Colin Fenton as head of Global Commodities Strategy at JP Morgan, who is- wouldn't you know it- a Goldman Sachs Alum.

Looks like Mr. Dimon was rather impressed with that fleecing of the sheople.

After deeper research and a reader tip, we have uncovered that Michele Faissola is the Vice Chairman of ISDA. Prior to the Blythe's insertion into the GFMA Chair, effective Feb 1, Michele Faissola was both the head of the GFMA and the Vice Chairman of the ISDA.

Michele Faissola with his stellar reputation of working with Italian tycoons/money laundering , must have been told that he was now only going to be responsible for "oversight" of one of the two organizations. Meanwhile, The Morgue puts Asset Number 1 in place to carry out the dirty work.

According to Ms Masters, JPM does no proprietary trading ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprietary_trading ). They only trade on behalf of their clients.
This could actually be true in the case of PM manipulation. Their client is probably the FED or the Treasury

Every primary dealer is likely a client of another. Seems an easy way for friends to get around silly reporting laws/requirements.
