Too much gold? That’s an interesting theory, to be sure.

I still can’t wrap my head around this. Trump has spoken of the need for an audit of Fort Knox. That would be a reasonable thing to do.

An audit wouldn’t take much effort. A few investigators with a clipboard and a device to test the purity bars - that’s all you’d need.

But now we’re hearing nothing. Was Trump told something so bad that he shut up about an audit? It’s all very, very, strange.

🤔

How does all this secrecy benefit the citizens of this country? After all, the gold belongs to us, not those in charge.

You are mistaken. Much written about what a Full Assay Audit to industry standards entails. Then records must be examined ( Federal Reserve and Treasury) to see how much has been “ encumbered “- leased out.

Most familiar with full audits state a full assay of Ft Knox alone would take ( they hold only about 4,000 tons) at least 18 MONTHS and that doesn’t include Denver, New York or West Point depositories or tracking down lease agreements ( if there are any).

Best you let the professionals take care of the audit.
