Ukraine Admits Its Gold Is Gone: "There Is Almost No Gold Left In The Central Bank Vault"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Back in March, at a time when the IMF reported that Ukraine's official gold holdings as of the end of February, so just as the State Department-facilitated coup against former president Victor Yanukovich was concluding, amounted to 42.3 tonnes or 8% of reserves...

... and notably under the previous "hated" president, Ukraine gold's reserves had constantly increased hitting a record high just before the presidential coup...

 

... we reported of a strange incident that took place just after the Ukraine presidential coup, namely that according to at least one source, "in a mysterious operation under the cover of night, Ukraine's gold reserves were promptly loaded onboard an unmarked plane, which subsequently took the gold to the US." To wit:

Tonight, around at 2:00 am, an unregistered transport plane took off took off from Boryspil airport. According to Boryspil staff, prior to the plane's appearance, four trucks and two cargo minibuses arrived at the airport all with their license plates missing. Fifteen people in black uniforms, masks and body armor stepped out, some armed with machine guns. These people loaded the plane with more than forty heavy boxes.

 

After this, several mysterious men arrived and also entered the plane. The loading was carried out in a hurry. After unloading, the plateless cars immediately left the runway, and the plane took off on an emergency basis.

 

Airport officials who saw this mysterious "special operation" immediately notified the administration of the airport, which however strongly advised them "not to meddle in other people's business."

 

Later, the editors were called by one of the senior officials of the former Ministry of Income and Fees, who reported that, according to him, tonight on the orders of one of the "new leaders" of Ukraine, all the gold reserves of the Ukraine were taken to the United States.

Needless to say there was no official confirmation of any of this taking place, and in fact our report, in which we mused if the "price of Ukraine's liberation" was the handover of its gold to the Fed at a time when Germany was actively seeking to repatriate its own physical gold located at the bedrock of the NY Fed, led to the usual mainstream media mockery.

Until now.

In an interview on Ukraine TV, none other than the head of the Ukraine Central Bank made the stunning admission that "in the vaults of the central bank there is almost no gold left. There is a small amount of gold bullion left, but it's just 1% of reserves."

As Ukraina further reports, this stunning revelation means that not only has Ukraine been quietly depleting its gold throughout the year, but that the latest official number, according to which Ukraine gold was 8 times greater than the reported 1%, was fabricated, and that the real number is about 90% lower.

According to official statistics the NBU, the amount of gold in the vaults should be eight times more than is actually in stock. At the beginning of this month, the volume of gold was about $ 1 billion, or 8% of the total gold reserves. Now this is just one percent.

Of course, considering the official reserve data at the Central Bank has been clearly fabricated, one wonders just how long ago the actual gold "dmsplacement" took place.

We get some additional information from Rusila:

According to recent data, the value of Ukraine gold should be $988.7 million. That is the value of gold proportion of gold in gold reserves is 8%. If you believe Gontareva, it turns out there is a mere $123.6 million in gold remaining.

 

The figure is fantastic, considering that the amount of gold at the end of February (when the new authorities have already taken key positions) was $1.8 billion or 12% of the reserves.

 

In other words, since the beginning of the year gold reserves dropped almost 16 times. Gold stock in February were approximately 21 tons of gold, the presence of which was once proudly reported by Sergei Arbuzov, who led the NBU in 2010-2012. So what happened to 20.8 tons of gold?

 

Explaining the dramatic reduction in the context of the hryvnia devaluation through gold sales is impossible. After all, 92% of the reserves of the National Bank is in the form of a foreign currency that is much easier to use to maintain hryvnia levels and cover current liabilities. Besides since March the international price of gold has plummeted. Selling ??gold under such circumstances is a crime. In fact it would be more expedient to increase gold reserves through currency conversion in precious metals.

 

But apparently the result is not due to someone's negligence or carelessness. The gold reserve has been actively carted out of the country, as a result of the very vague economic and political prospects of Ukraine. Something similar happened to the gold reserves of the USSR - when the Gorbachev elite realized that perestroika is leading the country to the abyss, gold simply disappeared in an unknown direction.

The article's conclusion:

As history shows, the reduction of the gold reserves in the context of an acute political crisis is usually preceded by the collapse of the state.

Oddly enough there was no official gold reduction just prior to the time when Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland was planning Yanukovich's ouster, and as shown above, quite the contrary. It is a little more odd that it was during the period when Ukraine was "supported" by its western allies that several billion dollars worth of physical gold - the people's gold - just "vaporized."

In any event, now that the disappearance of Ukraine's gold has been confirmed, perhaps it is time to refresh the "unconfirmed" story that a little after the current Ukraine regime took power the bulk of Ukraine's gold was taken to the United States.

As of this writing, The NY Fed has still not answered our March request for a comment whether Ukraine's gold has been redomiciled at the gold vault located some 80 feet below Liberty 33.

Not to be an idiot, but...

Take a look at Ukrainian Reserves as of last month:

https://www.imf.org/external/np/sta/ir/IRProcessWeb/data/ukr/eng/curukr.htm

Most of Ukraine's reserves are in foreign currency.

Just what do you think the Ukraine Central Bank has been using to close transactions in international trade while their currency has been crashing over the last 9 months?????

Now look at whose currency they have.  HINT:  Ukrainian foreign currency will mostly be that of the countries with whom they have a postive trade balance - Turkey, Egypt, Kazakhstan, and India.

http://www.bloomberg.com/visual-data/best-and-worst//ukraines-biggest-tr...

So to close foreign transactions (primarily with Russia, China, Germany, Poland, and Belorus) they have available the following foreign assets:  Turkish Lira, Egyptian Pounds, Kazak Tenge, Indian Rupee's, and Gold.

If they get USD or EUR or Yuan from their customers, then it will be more than offset by their trade deficit with Russia, China, etc...

All of them, including Gold, have been dropping in value. Some have notably dropped much more than others.

So, if you are the Russian, Chinese, German, Polish, or Belorussian central bank, what will you accept from Ukraine to settle trade, given the choices?

Turkish Lira? http://www.x-rates.com/graph/?from=TRY

Egyptian Pounds?  http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=EUR&to=EGP&view=1Y

Kazak Tenge?  http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=EUR&to=KZT&view=1Y

Indian Roupes?  http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=EUR&to=INR&view=1Y

FAT CHANCE!

They accepted whatever Ukraine had that held universal value. 

THAT'S GOLD.

So explain to me again why I should suspect that anyone is robbing Ukraine of her gold, when that's the only thing of value she has for use in payment???????

Of course.

They're broke and can't do business anymore.

I am just saying that sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.

If you like old Sherlock Holmes, he said "If you eliminate all other possibliities, the one that remains, however unlikely, is the culprit" (paraphrased.

So, here we have a report that Ukrainian gold was loaded on a plane.

Candidate Culprit #1:   American Officials jetted to Kiev to do a bank robbery.  Yats and crew fuck themselves to help.

Candidate Culprit #2:  The Ukrainian Central Bankers put the Gold on the plane to be distributed to their creditors, because it was the only thing they would take in payment...

 

I am just saying that #2 seems more plausible, and more in line with the incentives of everyone involved.

Of course, Victoria (Fuck the EU) Nulands puppets in Kiev are criminals.

I am an American but my family ancestry is Kuban cossack. I carry a Ukie surname but have never identified as anything other than an American of Russian ancestry. In Europe, Cossacks serve only sovereign Great Russia along with every other Cossack host whether they be Don, Kuban, Kalmyk and so on. Not one Cossack host will ever fight for Ukraine. The Cossacks living in eastern Ukraine are loyal only to Russia and will fight only for her. They sent militias to fight alongside the Russian forces during the Georgian war and they even killed Ukrainians fighting as mercenaries for Georgia. Most Cossacks living in Ukraine wish to enter the Cossack units in the Russian army like the Kuban Cossacks do. Cossacks living in Ukraine are now fighting against Kiev's Banderist forces. Ie; The government troups supported by the US and EU wearing and bearing Nazi regalia!

The emperor has no clothes

A massive paper long on gold today equating to 200,000 tons of physical gold bullion pushed the price up to just US$1,200 in under an hour

Look at the charts above of gold holdings - and see the BS of paper - who has 200,000 tons of gold to pay out these longs?

just curious, was it for 200,000 ounces (approx 5.7 tonnes?).  Still a lot either way, and even at 5.7 tonnes most sovereign nations wouldn't be able to deliver or it would put a real dent in their reserves. 200,000 tonnes is just ridiculous.

Excuse my naivete but I really don't understand how gold can be so cheap if it means anything to the dollar, pound, ruble, yen etc etc.

If you believe that the States has 8000 tons of gold and gold is worth about $1200 per ounce you come up with a value of just over $300B.  A lot of money for you or me but in the grand scheme of things where the U.S. deficit is $500B this year and a trillion last year.  The $300B seems to be basically meaningless. 

In my view either gold means nothing and it is worth basically nothing or it is so undervalued that something has to change.  Comments?

The US doesn't have 8,000 tons anymore and yes, it is so undervalued and actually means everything in a world where currency is no longer tangible or legitimate.  That's why they smash the price down to buy it on the cheap and to castigate it to keep the fiat alive.  Everything else is just for show in the final dance of the fiat death...

Try to buy 8000 tonnes of gold, even 42 tonnes and see how many offers you get.  Nobody will likely sell it to you at any price and at 1200 per ounce not a chance.  That 1200 an ounce figure is arbitrary, just a number they quote if you want to buy paper gold or a few ounces.

I've been lurking here for years and day after day its the same old tired shit.  Now b4 you all get your nipples twisted take time to think and I'm asking that you really think open and honestly. 

1) Do you really think a crashing market will bring any change in the world other than the little guy (us included) just being fucked harder?

2) Do you think the "sheeple" will ever reallize anything more than "they got fucked and need a new talking head asshat mouth piece for the .001% to save them (as is read here many times "wash, rinse , repeat) ?

Ah fuck it no more questions time to rant.... Jane and Joe will never get anything changed no matter how fuckin poor ya make em... want proof you all like history so much well what happened after the "great depression" ABSOLUTELY FUCKIN NOTHING !  Same as it ever was and worse the morons just acceepted getting fucked a little harder and called it good times after the fact.  Give the peasants some baubbles and trinkets a good dose of sugar and plastic wrapped cancer causing steaks and they just go back to "sleep".  The idea of freedom and liberty has been wiped from thier minds completely...is just parroted meaningless words blah blah freedom blah blah liberty blah blah rights etc ad infinitum.  Revolution my ass we need Evolution and that ain't happening any time soon... I deal with jane and joe every fuckin day and they are dumber than shit scared and fuckin lazy... the most powerful tool for knowledge and betterment of the whole fucking civilized world is given to these morons and they use it to buy baubbles and trinkets and watch porn.... and worst yet and this is the part I love the most and hear it every day "You can put anything on the internet I don't believe any of it"  meanwhile the MSM is blairing from 3 fuckin teevees throughout the house.

We my fellow humans are truly fucked .... now go down vote me but after you do go and talk to these idiots then tell me I'm wrong a second time

I absolutely agree with you.  I take hope in the fact that, at least apparently, not everyone who reads ZH lives in the USA.  If the USA has been captured and drugged by the neoliberal/neoconservative/neoconquistador international bankers, then perhaps the "fourth turning" will come from elsewhere in the world.

I keep saying that there is also now an additional problem, which there never was before, and that problem is overpopulation.  Overpopulation causes things like Fukushima, the poisoning of the Gulf of Mexico by BP, rising temperatures, and of course plenty of economically-desperate cannon fodder.  I wonder if any "intelligent" species on other planets in the universe have survived similar challenges.  I bet they have their bankers/neoconquistadors too, who either wiped their planets out, or found a way and the courage to change.

People are afraid.  People see what happens to "problem makers" and decide to "go along to get along", doing whatever it takes to keep their job and try to keep their family together and their kids into college and out of drugs.

Also, people want social status.  We are apes, and the alpha ape gets to breed.  Thus the greed, because people who show off get deferred to, regardless how they got the riches to pay for the showing off.

I'm thinking of a Jackson Browne song: "The Pretender".  I think lots of people live out their whole lives pretending they are helping, and all the while really knowing they are just doing the opposite.  TPTB makes that easy too, with "absolution".

Anyway, I don't think you CAN save anyone but yourself - and give your family a good example.

Nothing has changed since Hernando Cortes stole all the Mayas' gold and enslaved the Mayas and Francisco Pizarro stole all the Incas' gold and enslaved the Incas. The Neoconquistadors are doing exactly the same thing, but now, because of the internet, have to try to hide what they're doing, instead of bragging about it.

You forgot to mention that Cortez and Pizarro were doing God's work by murdering the Aztecs and the Incas because they were not Roman Catholic. Stealing their gold for the greater glory of God and the Roman Catholic Church.

:^) Since the Aztecs and Incas were not Roman Catholics, and had not pledged to do anything and everything the Pope and the King of Spain ordered them to do (which would have been, of course, to give up their gold, their wives, their land, and their freedom), that made the Aztecs and Incas, according to the Roman Catholics, Satanists.  Even though the Aztecs and Incas had never even heard of Satan, or Jesus for that matter.  Can't beat the Conquistadors for Catch-22.

:^) No different this time, or any time.  It's the easiest thing in the world to label someone else a "bad guy", if that's what you need to do to justify stealing everything he has.

Most of the gold holdings, of course, look horribly off. Portugal, Greece, Libya, China, IMF, and USA? Really? Nothing is real except the number of boating accidents.

Oh well- Elementary my dear Watson.

It was just money returned to Victoria Fcuku Nuland- Did'nt she say she spent $5 billion on the Ukraine coup! Money needed for rotation for the next coup. German gold already used up.

Remember Libya's gold!

And folks, i guess most of us are blind or just just do not think.

Please look at the list given by the World Gold Council ( i dont trust them anyway). What is remarkable ?????????

Israel is not on the list.

Could Tyler please throw some light on this subject?

They sold the gold to help

lower the oil price to ten bucks

to screw the russians

which resulted in

The Gold was deposited with the IMF.  Not sure why so much secrecy except security issues.  it is collateral for loans. Christine Lagarde is not so crazy to make loans to a bankrupt country that is about to be invaded.

Knowing how corrupt Victor Yanukovich regime was http://youtu.be/_HN3yZVKP9g and that he stole Ukraine wealth for his own gain - it should not come as suprise that actually there was no gold increase as he only paid money for his accounts and didn't recieved any gold in return in volts. Whole system was corrupt till it's core. That was the reason Ukranians went into streets and demanded him to step down. But he was a criminal - a Putin regime criminal and stayed there till Putin ordered him to leave because plan was into action to annex  Crimea and huge part of Ukraine. Till now - Crimea is annexed but east Ukraine still resisting.

Regarding this article there is absulutly no proof to claim that gold was taken by "new goverment" to US. No evidence atll - some ruskie media reports about some guy who saw man in masks and gold with them - so it must be taken by new goverment to US. That is no proof at all. There could be manu scenarious - one of them that Victor Yanukovich took gold with him, other that actual gold reserves which was much smaller that Victor Yanukovich regime reported previously -  was taken out side country because of possible civil war or full open war with Russia. So than reserves where taken out side of country. Was they used to cover budget? Maybe. That is one of possibilities that goverments do at bad times.

 

Read this: On accounts of the companies ex-the president of Ukraine Victor Yanukovych and his confidants 1,42 billion dollars are blocked

https://news.pn/en/money/118812

That's only part of what he has been stealing from people of Ukraine.

But of course ZH had to create some twists and manipulation with the public in order to spin the story in some way to create illusion of stolen gold from Ukraine by new goverment. So predictible from this Putin regime propoganda asset.

Putin regime Wants a ’100% Guarantee’ That Ukraine Won’t Join NATO

http://time.com/3594011/ukraine-nato-russia-kremlin/

This is proof that Putin doesn't respect in any way other nations independence and their people will. Because it's not Putin regime who rules over people of Ukraine. If Ukranians will vote that they want to join NATO than it's not Putin regime who can oppose to will of Ukranian people.

Once again Putine regime has shown his real face.

WOW, 73,000 reads on something that we knew already. Makes you wonder how many reads an article with either the Bank of England or the Fed would get in the same situation. The public still don't get it, or don't care................the gold has gone which is why Putin said in diplomatic speak 'for other countries to check their custodial gold holdings'.

When the Queen of England was given a walk through of the BOE vaults you could almost hear the collection trucks reving in the background awaiting the press to exit.

"Stay away from Kiev" by Justin Raimondo...interesting read for all of us ZH folks that don't have our heads buried in the sand! Our propaganda media spin doctors want us to believe that these new puppet leaders in Kiev, hand picked by Victoria (Fuck the EU) Nuland and Barry's admin, are all freedom and democracy loving Western style democrats. The truth is they are nothing but a gang of neo nazi, national socialist thugs.

Situation in Ukraine is living proof that possession of gold is irrelevant inn modern era compared to possession of strong economy + military, and especially big nukes with accurate long-range ballistic MIRV delivery capability.

If Ukraine still had all the nukes it was left with after the end of the Soviet Union, then there would be ZERO invasion by Russia into Ukraine.

The only US stocks listed on their Hong Kong exchange are (NASDAQ blue chippie thingies):

Dell Inc. Amgen Inc. Cisco Systems Intel Corporation Applied Materials, Inc. Starbucks Corporation Microsoft Corporation

The Chinese have a few shares on our exchange as well, like Baidu and Alibaba.  But it appears that people are liking that gold quite a bit.  Putin's got gold, the Ukraines got Nazis who get billions from the U.S. Cia which WAS backed by gold (until Nixon came along)---racists are morons I tell you.
