HSBC is a disgusting organization that should not even be allowed in the USA.

And yet they are the company Texas has chosen to do business with.

They publish and interpret the overall state of their business to their own accord. Do you dispute that?

As for HSBC, that speaks for itself.

Yup.
And we’ve never gotten a straight independent answer to it.
Just “yes, it’s there” by people who’s primary incentive is to say “yes, it’s there” whether it is or not.

“I don’t believe the gold is gone. It would be way too difficult to move (even small amounts) without involving many people. And could each person (guards, truck drivers, etc.) keep quiet forever? Impossible.”

It could be done... easily done. Done by normal workers, in plain sight. All procedures can be scrupulously followed, signatures on forms, men in suits, planning meetings first, the signing of non-disclosure agreements, national security talk,,, yada yada.
Does anyone believe the forklift and truck driver and shotgun holder stop and question what the repository directors tell them to do?
And it isn’t going to someone’s basement. It leaves one repository and goes to another. And then other things are moved from there... etc etc.

It would be easy if the people managing the gold wanted to do it.

We still have people who wont talk about secret spy missions and flights in the 1950s. Scare em enough, make it routine enough,,, and it could be accomplished with ease. The question is, why cant anyone, even the president see it?
Same exact concept as Obamas birth certificate. If this much energy goes into hiding it, that tells you something bad.

Yes. They are audited by outside accounting companies, same as every other corporation. What are you looking for them to do that they aren't doing?

Disgusting that they did. I Love Texas, but they are not above choosing business over acting right when the money is big enough. The NAFTA highway going to Spain is a fine example.
But its beyond debate that HSBC was started, and remains a bank of choice for the dope trade. If a normal person did anything close to what they did, they would realistically face multiple life terms in prison.

“. But even a public tour would expose the gold to no realistic risk. None whatsoever.”

Well gosh, who would be the best judge of that? The people who have been invested with protecting the gold since the day the Depository was built or posters on the internet?

It’s in the middle of an Army armor post, not somewhere the public gets to wander about.

I was inside the Bullion Depository at Fort Knox in 1977 as a temporary laborer in support of a combined Treasury / GAO audit.

You were in there, and lived to tell the tale! But that was almost 40 years ago. I wonder who's been in since... and why audits have been steadfastly opposed by Fed Chairmen. Maybe because they were asset audits (like how good are these MBS securities) rather than a hard bar count.

We need a dictator who is a benevolent right wing despot.

Exactly so. That is why i hold out little hope of the Republic ever being restored. The enemy is within and is very powerful.

Did you know about the secret bunkers built beneath the White House, big enough to house all the top government people? You should ask Russia they probably know for fact where the gold is.

“Treasury officials insist that the gold is audited annually and is all there"

Ha, Treasury officials are just as honest as the IRS, the Administration, Congress and every other government entity. If a congresscritter were to visit, they wouldn't know a gold bar from a spray painted gold brick. The also wouldn't know how much each was supposed to weigh or how many total should be there. They'd merely take the word of the tour guide and tell the press they saw a pile of gold.
