Robert Mish, president of Mish International Monetary Incorporated, a Menlo Park, California precious metals / coin dealer is leading a class action lawsuit alleging market manipulation for his losses as he traded WTI crude on April 20, the day the May, 2020 futures contract settled at a negative $37.63. He had closed his 10 (long) contracts for a loss of $92,490.
But on the other side of the pond and on the other side of that trade, a small group of kids in London reportedly raked in somewhere around $500 million, buying the close and then selling the contracts the following day.

Yeah, it sucks to lose. But it sounds an awful lot like sour grapes to me.
I did poke around at the coin dealer's website at Mish International Monetary Inc. and found this gem:
MIMI encourages precious metals investors to take delivery and control their own holdings. We are concerned that the risks of default or conversion as to 2nd & 3rd party "stored" metals, ETFs, Stocks, futures, and other paper promises exceed the risks of protecting your own in-hand reserves.
I had to LOL.
