I read a little bit today about how the attacks on oil supplies in Nigeria caused oil prices to jump. What keeps unscrupulous speculators from manipulating markets? You could buy oil futures then hire a hit. Just funnel money through various mechanisms to Nigerian rebels and pay them to attack oil rigs and pipelines. When prices head north as they did today, cash in the futures. I imagine this goes on to some degree every day in the financial markets.
