Tungsten Gold Bars, NYMEX Investigation, Rothschild Withdrawal
Reports of fake gold bars filled with tungsten in the Bank of England and Fort Knox are discussed, following a 2009 incident where China discovered fraudulent bars. The hosts link this to a 2004 investigation of a NYMEX executive and the subsequent withdrawal of NM Rothschild and Sons from the London gold market. They call for a public audit and physical testing of U.S. gold reserves to verify their authenticity.
