How much gold is in Fort Knox and who owns it?

Sorry, not taking Wikipedia as a source. Nor are spurious "conspiracy theory" comments welcomed. It's an honest question.

Answers should cite primary sources and such primary sources should cite date and type of audit. I also expand this question to include all US stores, where the gold is owned by the US.

Answers must distinguish between "holding" and "ownership", the question is to ownership!

I note that a great failing of our times is that people do not know how to keep books anymore, and even less how to audit. Too many make assumptions, or give a cheap pass to references that are poor, weak, secondary, misread, and often false in detail, as sources.

Since you seem to be an idiot. I will answer your stupid original question.

In 1964 the gold at Fort Knox was worth 15 Billion dollars. At that time, NONE of it belonged to the US since it was the collateral for our foreign debt.

The amount of gold there has not increased but it’s value has, due to inflation. But since our foreign debt has exceeded the inflational value of gold exponentially, one could accurately state, there is no gold in Fort Knox. At least not as far as the US is concerned. See my earlier Chicomm answer. Do I need to explain Chicomm to you?

If you can dispute this answer, other than by asking another question that you don’t know the answer to, please do.

Now, make like snake poop and decompose.

“Citation of an audit was requested.”

I don’t see how tha answers, “How much gold is in Fort Knox and who owns it?”

But if that satisfies you, I’ll leave it alone if you will.
