• stating “Congress’ decision to prohibit manipulation without defining it apparently arose from the concern that clever manipulators would be able to evade any legislated list of proscribed actions or elements of such a claim”
• “The court recognizes that a manipulation claim requires a showing of specific intent, that is, a showing that ‘the accused acted (or failed to act) with the purpose or conscious object’ of influencing prices.”
• “When these alleged misrepresentations are factored into their alleged ability to influence prices, on might reasonably infer that [defendants might not have required as large a position in the * * * market as would a manipulator relying on market power alone.”
