This story needs significant quality sources if it is to be believed. Sounds more like somebody trying to push gold prices. This story does not appear in WSJ nor FT.
I am aware of that, and I have my suspicions as well, BUT, would you really expect the MSM to broadcast this?
Does the New York Post count?
