Hi, Folks -
In recent days various posts here in the Reading Room and in the CGI Room have touched on the matter of "fake" gold bars identified by the Chinese. Striderus posted about this:

And, we've seen two posts recently suggesting the "world supply of gold is running out".
Now comes this, with thanks to Reader SA:

Here's a HUGE story for you -
http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article14996.html
6000 tonnes of FAKE gold discovered, Counterfeit 400 ounce bars filled with tungsten (same density as gold) - Some is probably still at Fort Knox. Not only do we need to audit the FED, but audit and assay Fort Knox.
****************************************************************
The article says in small part:
Roughly 15 years ago – during the Clinton Administration [think Robert Rubin, Sir Alan Greenspan and Lawrence Summers] – between 1.3 and 1.5 million 400 oz tungsten blanks were allegedly manufactured by a very high-end, sophisticated refiner in the USA [more than 16 Thousand metric tonnes]. Subsequently, 640,000 of these tungsten blanks received their gold plating and WERE shipped to Ft. Knox and remain there to this day. I know folks who have copies of the original shipping docs with dates and exact weights of “tungsten” bars shipped to Ft. Knox.
