Anonymous Coward User ID: 764309 United States 09/06/2009 08:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP may have a point, as the Die Hard series of Hollywood movies have left this question unanswered! What did happen to the gold after it was stolen in dump trucks commanded by witty German military uber-thieves via terrorism and bombings, thieves who then failed in their scheme to switch the gold for lead (and thereby screw their own comrades)? Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson (as Jules Winfield from Pulp Fiction) will lead the investigation in 2010 picking up where the Die Hard series left off! See: "Yippee Ki-ay You Big Brain Muthafuckahs!" coming soon! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 764327 United Kingdom 09/06/2009 09:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Has any one wondered why 9-11 was called the 'greatest Gold bullion robbery in history' in some quarters? (try printing that in the 'press' and see how long your career lasts). In a nutshell, the golds gone towards making up certain peoples short falls, and the little bit of extra for paying bills accrued through using illicit channels to complete the operation. The above was a conversation i had with a friend of mine before he died, sadly of cancer. Always made me think about it anyhow. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1243741 United States 01/31/2011 09:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | why does the IMF have it on their books at $42/oz? Quoting: floyd 765025Interesting story there. A consultant actually met with the Fed. Maybe 10 years ago. I don't know the exact circumstances, but he suggested the Fed re-mark their gold price to the market value (maybe $400 then) and this would fix some kind of problem the Fed had at the time. The Fed marks their gold at $42 or $35 or something like that. Whoever the consultant was talking to apparently laughed and said that one reason they kept the gold price there was that if they ever tried to sell it all, it would drive the price down to those original levels. A totally apocryphal story I was told several years ago, but interesting. Not that I think they have the gold. I subscribe to the theory that, thanks to the ETFs, all the gold out there has been marked to multiple counterparties in a fractional reserve way so that if everyone actually asked for the physical, the market would blow up. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1176939 United States 01/31/2011 09:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fairly well documented that during the Clinton administration, a huge amount of the gold bars in Fort Knox were switched for Gold plated tungsten fakes. Many of the fake bars also wound up in the world market. The fraud was discovered when someone at a Hong Kong bank got suspicious and drilled some bars that had been received and discovered that they were tungsten dipped in gold and stamped like the original bars on the gold bar list. Each bar is actually worth about $50,000 due to the heavy coat of pure gold. When the scam was discovered, the person at Goldman Sachs who was in charge of the world gold bar inventory list disappeared and has never been heard from since. A huge percentage of the bars in Fort Knox are fake. Approximately 7500 of the fake tungsten bars were cast. Tungsten is so near the mass weight of gold that about the only way to know for sure is to drill gold bars and confirm they are pure gold. We been screwed...royally. |

Some of the gold has found its way into the hands of wealthy and powerful. Remember how Britain sold off a huge load of their gold a few years ago, right before the price started doubling yearly. Who do you think ended up with that hoard? When the paper currencies fail they will use a bit of that gold to gain control over everything else. |

ex-AFOSI User ID: 1023520 United States 01/31/2011 10:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some math for you. IMF has 3200 tons or so. U.S. has 8100 tons or so. U.S. = IMF therefore U.S. has about 11,300 tons. That is $483,459,200,000 at todays prices. Do you see the U.S. strategy now? Do you see why we can run a deficit? Why we do bond raids on Europe whenever we please? Why we are moving Egyptian gold our way? |
