A British businessman has purchased Europe's entire cocoa supply in a move analysts say could be an attempt to control the market and drive prices to historic highs, the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph reports.
More than 241,000 tonnes of cocoa beans — enough to fill five Titanics — was the largest single cocoa transaction in the past 14 years. The loot is worth more than $1.7-trillion and the sale has effectively placed a large portion of the world's cocoa supply into the hands of one mysterious trader whose intentions are unknown.

His name is Milo Minderbinder and he has a record of doing this sort of thing. He last cornered the Egyptian cotton market.
