Why It’s Taking 7 Years For Gold To Be Returned To Germany

Why It’s Taking 7 Years For Gold To Be Returned To Germany | Gold and What Moves it. | Scoop.it

Today acclaimed money manager Stephen Leeb told King World News the reason Germany is only getting small portions of their gold sent to them over the years is because the gold is not at the Fed.  Leeb also believes the United States is now running out of physical gold to sell in their price suppression scheme.  Here is what Leeb had to say:  “There are two main parties engaged in a battle for economic and monetary supremacy in the world.  This is China vs the United States.  Interestingly, at least for a period of time, both countries don’t want to see the price of gold take off.

The bar was stored in a bank safe until Dec. 18, when Shen noticed that it had developed red spots and what appeared to be rust corrosion on the base. As the most non-reactive of all metals, gold should never rust unless it has been mixed with other metals or has been contaminated with additives.

 

On Dec. 24, Shen took the gold back to the store and was offered a refund once staff verified that it was the same item he originally purchased.

 

Shen refused, saying that all he wanted was an explanation. ...
