It's the very first time I reply to a thread. In case my comment would not be posted on the thread please feel free to post it. After the merger of the 2 Swiss banks, Swiss Bank Corporation and Union Bank of Switzerland, back in 1998, the official name of the new merged bank became UBS AG (or UBS Group AG
https://www.ubs.com/global/en/legal/info-on-ubs.html). Since then, to my knowledge, Union Bank of Switzerland A.G. did not exist anymore. Nobody with signatory power on behalf of UBS AG, would have signed in the year 2002, a document in the name of Union Bank of Switzerland A.G. Therefore both certificates must be false and therefore do not stand as proof for such holdings at UBS. Personally I have been following the gold market closely since the year 2000 and since then, I came across this story a couple of times. None of the information I previously got about this story was, in my opinion, OK to prove the existence of this Gold. Maybe the Yamash
ita Gold does exist or maybe not. However counterfeit documents as the above, do certainly not help to support the authenticity of the story
