Gold, silver and Cristal: The Tipline for 27 July 2018

A federal judge has dismissed the gold and silver price-fixing lawsuits brought against a series of banks. We have coverage of that, and of the Federal Trade Commission rebuking the head of Tronox during a status conference after he accused the agency of deliberately trying to run out the clock on the company’s merger with Cristal. Also look out on Monday for our report of a keynote address that FTC commissioner Noah Phillips is delivering later today at the 2018 Internet Governance Forum USA.
