Maybe Goldfinger took it? Calling Mr. Bond. Calling Mr. James Bond please pick-up the red phone.

I have a hard time believing that a country like Germany wasn’t aware that its gold has been lent and re-lent several times over.

I don't think it is supposed to work like fractional reserve banking, but it probably does work like fractional reserve banking. The Fed probably has 5% of the gold it's supposed to have. Things go along pretty smoothly -- until too many people start saying, "Give me my stuff".

"Uhhhhhhhhh. We don't actually have your stuff."

So the US Government intentionally collapses the prices of Gold (momentarily) so that it can buy up enough Gold to replay Germany (who’s Gold the FED had lost)..

Sounds like a plot of Goldfinger indeed!

Hitler`s Dirty Little Secret: “The Gold Isn’t There (shortened)

It`s on the bottom of a lake in Bavaria.

“Along with Hitler’s own diamond collection and the entire gold reserves of the Reichsbank, these are just some of the most valuable Nazi treasures still missing”

Watched the latest edition of the Keiser Report on RT today. Keiser is usually pretty bizarre, but every now and then he comes up with a point that makes some sense and puts a new perspective on the big economic picture. Today his sidekick Stacy Herbert mentioned that China recently purchased some large tonnage numbers of gold - more than actually had been on sale on the public markets around the world - Keiser’s followup was that someone had secretly been selling gold to China under the table, and since there were rumors around that the US was low in its gold reserves, this country must have been the US - because China has so many dollars that they’re demanding we exchange some of them in return for gold or they’ll dump them - sort of a leap of logic on Max’s part, but an interesting idea nonetheless....

Does the Federal Reserve own or hold gold? (No, that's the treasury.)
