Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Chinese received a shipment of gold bars. Gold is regularly exchanges between countries to pay debts and to settle the so-called balance of trade. Most gold is exchanged and stored in vaults under the supervision of a special organization based in London, the London Bullion Market Association (or LBMA). When the shipment was received, the Chinese government asked that special tests be performed to guarantee the purity and weight of the gold bars. In this test, four small holed are drilled into the gold bars and the metal is then analyzed.
Officials were shocked to learn that the bars were fake. They contained cores of tungsten with only a outer coating of real gold. What’s more, these gold bars, containing serial numbers for tracking, originated in the US and had been stored in Fort Knox for years. There were reportedly between 5,600 to 5,700 bars, weighing 400 oz. each0 -

A little digging has at least part of the story going back to 2009: http://agmetalminer.com/2009/12/03/fake-gold-bars-discovered-in-hk-lbma-approved-vaults/
LBMA have a long explanation why their process is watertight, and the stuff found in Hong Kong seems to have been identified by them.
Where they came from, or the fact they passed through Fort Knox is not mentioned. Not that its matter too much. Ft Knox holds gold for more than just the federal government, and AFAIK doesn't necessarily certify that anything in it's vaults is legit. I did a quick check on how much this fake gold would be. At 1999 prices, 5,600 x 400oz bars would be about $2.7Bn, which seems like a lot.
The story implies: large quantities of gold which is propping up the worth of the US economy has recently been found to be fake by the Chinese
Reality: An unknown number of fake gold bars were found in Hong Kong several years ago.
And yes, I have nothing better to be doing on a Friday afternoon

Listen to Wilfred! Stay safe, stay responsibly and stay respectfully this Halloween. Please remind everyone to NOT BRANDISH an Airsoft gun in public for any reasons. Halloween doesn't make it legal. Taking your Airsoft gun out in the public thinking "It is okay because it is Halloween " IS NOT COOL''
