I think it was gamed at the commodities broker level - not at the "industry" level. What proof do you have oil companies want $10 a barrel crude ? Aren't oil companies producers, refiners, distributors, and commodity brokers (BP, especially) ? Don't they make profit at each market point? Isn't that their goal ?
I don't believe in conspiracy any more than you. I do believe that oligarchic forces will naturally take economic advantage of their market position. And they will continue to do so until other market forces are introduced to balance their moves.
