international man of mystery

who is the anonymous investor who recently bought up 7% of the world's cocoa futures? prices in the cocoa market are currently at a record high.

is it a major company attempting to lock in needed supplies at a fixed rate in the face of a feared shortage, a speculator attempting to drive up the price to even higher levels and make his killing as chocolate king by "cornering the market," or as oxfam seems to think, an evil monopolist out to rob farmers?

only time will tell what this market move means. . .
