I saw a TV show about this approx. a year ago. Can’t remember where. Maybe PBS or History Channel. They went thru all the myths and stories. Basically trashed the conspiracy theories. They said how much gold was there, but I can’t remember what they said. Some of it is not owned by us. They apparently store gold and jewels, etc. for a few foreign nations there. In one case, the nation in question sent their crown jewels to Fort Knox in order to protect them from dictators who’d overthrown the government about 60 or so years ago. They did an inventory (in the 70’s???). They interviewed the guys who did it. Because of the conspiracy theories, Congress sent a bunch of pols to Fort Knox to see if the gold was really still there. They came out with big smiles on their faces, saying stuff like “Wow!”
Yes I saw that too. Not the same as a audit though. Dog and pony.
