About 20 tons of gold from Venezuela's central bank was ready to be hauled away Tuesday on a Russian airline's Boeing 777 that landed in Caracas a day earlier, a Venezuelan lawmaker wrote on Twitter.
The destination of the $840 million in gold bars was unknown, but a source told Bloomberg News that it represented about 20 percent of the country's holding of the metal. The gold was set aside for loading, the report said.
The news outlet, which first reported on the tweet, identified the lawmaker as Jose Guerra. The lawmaker did not provide evidence for his claim but is identified in the report as a former economist at the country's central bank with close ties to workers still there.

Maduro willing to negotiate with opposition in Venezuela following U.S. sanctions and the cutting off of oil revenues. Guaido is being targeted by Venezuelan Supreme Court. Massive protest expected today. Americans should not travel to Venezuela until further notice.

Odds are 50-50 that he's not on the plane anymore when it lands...
Too bad that plane didn’t get blown up on the ground, and gold still just sitting there.
If anything qualifies for a rare BAHOG ping, this is it!
“No more whisking away in the middle of the night, ala Hitler-style.”
I think that phrase doesn’t mean what you think it means...
Maduro making an exit with his severance pay? Dont worry, Im sure Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will make sure 70% of it is taxed and equally distributed to the masses in need.
JUST IN: Venezuela’s self-proclaimed interim president Guaido says received phone call from President Trump - Reuters
“Maduro is prepping to unass Venezuela and is taking the remnants of the National treasure with him.”
This is a very common end to communist rule. This or hanging from a rope. Do ya feel lucky, Bernie-Kamala-Pocohantas-Cortez, well do ya?
Yep, Maduro is prepping to unass Venezuela and is taking the remnants of the National treasure with him.

You’re on your way out of power and the Russians just took your $800 million of gold.
What will you do?
What will you do?
Rely on American Express Traveler’s Cheques!
Handwriting on the wall. The Russians are preparing to pull out and taking back some of their money with them.
Some suggest the obozo and The Shriek know exactly where it is.
First thing we did in Libya was haul off their substantial gold holdings. To this day no one knows where it went.

Well, Hillary & Obama know where it went.
Please, educate me.
I took it as Hitler escaping. But on second read I believe you mean he opposition disappearing in the night?
Russia, one of President Nicolas Maduros staunchest supporters, is reportedly owed billions by the Latin American nation. Russia has said it expects Venezuela to have problems repaying debt ahead of an upcoming payment on a Russian loan.
Russia also has extensive commercial interests in Venezuela, including state oil company Rosnefts partnership with Petroleos de Venezuela SA, a state company placed under sanctions Monday by the United States.
Bingo! Many many hitler devotees escaped after the war. To the USA to Argentina to many other countries
Putin has dumped tens of billions into Venezuela propping up Maduro and Chavez.
LOL! Thanks, now I’ve got Karl Malden’s voice in my head.
