You asked — “Does anyone have any proof that this one statement is even true?”
Well, I give the reference to the show and to the person who stated it. It wasn’t made up by me, if that’s what you mean. So, I am referencing it. And if you wanted to, I’m sure that guy either has further information on his website — and/or will respond to information about what you’re asking. I would say so, because he’s so interested in people being aware of what is going on. That means he wants you to know about it and would thus give you whatever information is needed...
See if you can find further information in the radio interview, which I may have missed...
Be careful if this guy is also selling gold coins...
