Unless the DlA has a huge "slush fund" like the ClA (obtained from MASSIVE worldwide smuggling of weapons and drugs -- commonly accepted by nearly everyone, but what about human trafficking?), it's doubtful the military could pull off something of this magnitude (just like it's doubtful that a bunch of small investors could take it this far). Best bet (like always) is to "follow the money" -- numerous HUGE "institutional" investors were "long" and will come out literally BILLIONS ahead. I doubt they'd have any qualms with throwing a few of their hedge fund COMPETITORS under the bus and maybe a bank or two along with it (as long as they don't also get hurt in the process).
Hopefully the truth will come out in the end when we see who came out WAY ahead (besides SOME of the small investors because MANY others will get burned before it's over) and also what corruption is revealed by who receives and who provides any "bailouts"?
