WHere to start, this situation is familiar to me, that look Lawrence gave I gave people not too long ago in a very similar situation (minus the whole money thing). I daresay I liked it, that feeling of invincibility you get in the situation he's in is insane.
Secondly I don't think you guys are looking at what he's really trying to do, which is simple supply and demand, having all the merchants buy a few will drive demand through the ground, while he makes a profit off of wheat at the same time.
Lawrence will win, and I think Amarti will learn a pretty life altering lesson.
