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.

Don’t you have an answer yet. Come on show us your rich compost of who cares knowledge. If anyone else took you as seriously as you take yourself, I’d be impressed.

“Do you work for Geithner or the Fed? That answer is up to par with them. Not with me. Shouldn’t be for anyone.”

Throw this crap at me and run? grow up.

The Question should be HOW Much Gold is actually contained in the vaults in Fort Knox .This country is in so much debt the government would have to sell most of it to get us out of debt.

Actually not most but all. And it would not put a dent in our debt.

It is probably a state secret, so the peons have no reason for knowing. If we knew, we might not be too happy.

gold survives all rot...

It does not follow you into the kingdom of God, nor can anybody take it with them.

The vessels in the Temple were made of refined gold — gold has a high G-dly purpose.

Do you often talk behind someone’s back? I would bet that you do.

The gold in Fort Knox would not cover a fraction of our debt. But of course you know that don’t you oh great asker of questions.

I have a long day tomorrow. Later
