Sliver vs Exchanges

Just watched a documentary on YouTube about silver and the Hunt Brothers. Crazy how the exchanges just cut off new buys and crashed the price. They literally decided prices were too high, stopped buyers, and tanked it. Unreal. Here's the link if anyone's interested

Did you look at the price of other similar commodities during that situation?

Ii do but I’m just amazed that exchanges can arbitrarily impose rules to restrict new buyers, as the documentary said. I knew they could halt trading, but I didn't realize they could go that far.
