Maybe because they already split it up.

Something made in China that is fake... Nooooo really, LOL. I have relatives with stacks of gold and silver bars and I have threatened to drill holes in them to prove that they are fake. They don't seem as amused by this as I am, but after living in Russia where EVERYTHING is counterfeit I assume that first. They have fake gold, fake Marlboro, fake cars even, looks right but no brand name on the car just made in China. So it wouldn't surprise me one bit that it is everywhere, anyone need a drill bit?

Data is bogus and misleading.
None of the above institutes was ever audited for the last 40 years.

True. The IMF rules allows someone to keep on their books gold that has been leased out. So, the leased gold may be sold and yet the lessor's book still shows it is there. I think most of the gold in Fort Knox is stolen. Why else the tungsten bars shipped by Fort Knox to the London Gold Exchange which then sold to the Chinese?

I would have thought Australia might have just a bit up its sleeve - hahahha

Libya had only 141-143 tons of the stuff. Hugo's Venezeula at 210 tons has more. The first shipments from London are supposed to arrive in November. I hope they check their stuff to make sure it's not Fort Knox tungsten.
