All socialists need is the loot. They'll know what to do with it.

Full title - Venezuela really, really wants its $550 million of gold back. And it's coming to the Bank of England to get it.

Maduro has got to eat as well as take care of his living quarters. Oh, and to go buy toilet paper from China.

If there is gold, then Soros will be sniffing around.

“All socialists need is the loot. They’ll know what to do with it.”

Until the people they steal it from, run out of it.

A little more info here:

“The UK regulator has reportedly sought to clarify what Venezuela plans to do with the gold.”

Why does this matter ?

Maduro and his social elites will continue to line their pockets with 50% of the gold, at this point Venezuela’s remaining economic seed corn. Once the seed corn is all gone then the end game comes, which is the elites will begin to evacuate the country and access their Swiss bank accounts. Maduro will be on hand a bit longer, but with his immediate family he will ultimately board the palace helicopter to some foreign country and live off of the billions he looted from the peasants he proclaimed to love so dearly.

If they sold the gold, how do they expect to get it back?

By begging?

President Trump should appoint Bernie as Ambassador and send him there to fix it.

Surprises me that Venezuela hasn’t already spent it or had it frozen as collateral for international loans.

If I were The Crown, I would allow them to keep selling it out of the London vaults, but not repatriate. In fact, if I were the Special Relationship, I would encourage select G8 members to simply buy Venez out, and then Maduro is f'd. No gold, no fun.

I always wonder how a nation that has a monopoly on its energy supply can go broke. It would be like the state of Michigan running out of water.

What dang business is it of a moslem nation like U.K to know what Venezuela is going to do with the gold...

IMHO, the U.K. moslems have long since sold a most of the Venezuelans gold...
