In what is the most remarkable news of the day, which has so far passed very quietly under the radar, Fosun International, China's largest private-owned conglomerate which invests in commodities, properties and pharmaceuticals also known as "Shanghai's Hutchison Whampoa", announced in a statement filed just as quietly with the Hong Kong stock exchange, that it had purchased JPM's iconic former headquarters, the tower built by none other than David Rockefeller, at 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza for a measly $725 million.

Will this affect COMEX?CFTC? Hmm? I don't even have words except stuff like this is becoming daily, commonplace.
Remind me, what planet are we on?
Remember, Hutchinson Whampoa is the one Clinton sold the Panama Canel to!!!
Clinton also relaxed the rules around satellites and gave the Chicoms the ability to launch satellites and put that under the Trade Commission, then, sent Ron Brown to his death on an airplane...It was via Loral Space company.
Apparently it is now 0bummer's kingdom, so giving away the keys is a good thing when you hate the US.
I doubt any news source even covers this ANYWHERE.
I’ve been maintaining that the reason why the EPA has been trying to force expensive regulations on the coal industry so that they can force the coal companies out of business so China could buy them up for a song.
Nothing yet suggests I am wrong on this.
Now I’m wondering if the gold is actually there?
Now I’m wondering if the gold is actually there?
Sorry for my misspelling.
It’s the NYC real-estate haircut anticipating 8 years of DeBlasio..
I’d like the answer to that question also. For the sale price, they didn’t buy a vault of gold just a nice building. So what point is there then?
Was the point supposed to be that China is buying up our gold reserves?
Gold or not, this is the sellout of our history let alone possibly some gold.
The 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza vault is just across the street from the NY US Fed gold vault and at the same depth. It is assumed the two are linked by a tunnel as in the past a lot of foreign national gold held in the Chase vault was booked or transferred to the US to settle debts before we went off the gold standard [our US once was a creditor nation, rather than debtor].
If the tunnel exists, China could demand payment of all the US debt it holds in gold and this transfer would occur without we citizens being the wiser. Of course, that would only occur if a disloyal weasel was in the White House so do not worry.
JPMorgan. Of course, Soros has his fingers in the pot.
