With Its Gold "Vaporized", A Furious Ukraine Turns On Its Central Bankers

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As reported two weeks ago, following a stunning announcement by the head of Ukraine's central bank, Valeriya Gontareva, on primetime TV we learned that (virtually) all of Ukraine's gold was gone, or - in the parlance of Jon Corzine - had "vaporized."

And as we also predicted two weeks ago, it was only a matter of time before Ukraine's people - the vast majority of whom are innocent pawns in a vast game of realpolitik between the west and east - finally got angry and demanded some answers, if not heads. That time came earlier today when as Interfax.ua reported "a Kyiv-based court has instructed Kyiv prosecutors to bring an action against National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Governor Valeriya Gontareva on charges of abuse of power or misuse of office to obtain illegal profit, the Vesti newspaper reported on Tuesday."

According to Interfax, "This decision was taken by Kyiv's Pechersk district court on December 1 after it had examined case No. 757/33660/14. It ordered the Kyiv prosecutor's office to launch an investigation and include it in the register of pre-trial investigations," the newspaper reported.

Gontareva is charged with abuse of power or misuse of office under Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

The plaintiff is lawyer Rostyslav Kravets, the newspaper said. He confirmed this information in his post on Facebook, saying that the decision was taken by the court at the third attempt, and in November 2014, the prosecutors declined to bring an action to meet his claim.

The charges against the chief banker involve foreign currency interventions by the Central Bank in August 2014: On August 5 the NBU bought U.S. dollars on the interbank forex market for UAH 11.93 per U.S. dollar and sold them for UAH 12.26 per U.S. dollar. During the same week, on August 8, it traded in foreign currency at a higher rate: UAH 12.45-12.6 per U.S. dollar. First it sold $69 million on the interbank forex market at a lower rate, and some days later it bought $35 million at a more favorable price.

As a result of these transactions, the NBU lost 19 kopecks per U.S. dollar, Kravets said.

Kravets claims that by acting so, Gontareva "has intentionally committed an extremely unfavorable transaction for the gold and forex reserves of Ukraine, despite the fact that under Ukraine's Constitution it is the Central Bank that is in charge of maintaining the country's gold reserves."

* * *

That, and of course, there is also that as a result of central bank "transactions" the Ukraine central bank is now essentially gold-free, which per Gontareva's recent appearance, has just 1% of total reserves in the form of the yellow metal.

And while it remains to be seen if this will be the spark that lights the counter-revolution (after all it took Egypt not less than a year to turn against the puppet regime dumped upon it by the CIA and the US State Department) others are already sensing which way the wind is blowing. As Bloomberg reported moments ago, another central banker, Olena Shcherbakova who is head of the monetary policy department at the Ukrainian central bank, said she is resigning. When reaced by phone she stated that she "has the right to step down," without giving reason for decision.

She sure does, although we doubt even a former Goldman Sachs partner would be willing to replace her, as the realization among the Ukraine people finally seeps through that they were thoroughly betrayed by the same people who promised they would fix the country following the February presidential coup.

I heard gold is worthless anyway.  What's all the fuss?

Considering it takes over 900 oz. of Au to buy an average shitty home in my city (SF), it would seem so?

The investment banker’s appointment in June winning immediate praise from IMF chief Christine Lagarde, Gontareva told reporters on her way out of the confirmation hearing.“I think that my appointment is a positive signal to bankers.”

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/06/nato-reports-new-russian-troop-build-up-near-ukraine/

"’She is an experienced banker, very well respected in the business, and close to Mr. Poroshenko, with good experience and ties to the western banking community… a good fit for the IMF, et al.,’ said Standard Bank analyst Timothy Ash.” -- WSJ

And there went the gold.

When I see what is really going on in Ukraine, i get so disgusted.The US government and the Zios infection within it are responsible for the death and destruction of the people in the Donbass region who want nothing more than to be left alone.

I hate what America has become. What was once a great country has become the angel of death for hundreds of millions of poeple around the world. The American and Israeli governments and MIC and their zionist will to rule the world are a scurge which need to be eliminated. What is even more frustrating are the dumb shits that fall for the propaganda and mind control.

At some point there has to be a trigger moment, an event that will break the masses from their stupor. I just wish it would happen soon. 

Here's a good you-tube channel that exposes the truth of Ukraine. It's not pretty.

The Ukrainians allowed themselves to become American/Ziocon cannon fodder. Even to me, marooned as I am on a wet and misty island on the periphery of Europe, it was blindingly obvious what was going to happen once Nuland (wife of Robert Kagan) started the 'revolution'. The Ukrainians didn't have to go along with it and are as such to a considerable degree responsible for the catastrophic situation in which they now find themselves.

Totally agree that they allowed this to happen. The average pro-Kiev, pro west Ukrainian is more brainwashed than even most Americans. The Ukrainian army are nothing but fucking wanna-be nazi's with Zionists at the top of the power structure. Zionist jews and Nazi's are one in the same. I know on the surface this seems antithetical, but it is really a marriage made in hell. What better way to fool the world than to pretend to be two separate opposing groups.

I hope one day to see Poroschenko, along with Nuland, Obama, Soros, Netanyahu, the Rothchild's and the rest of the dirtbag scum zionist bankers, politicians and murderers hanging upside down with their heads lobbed off.  Even that wouldn't begin to make up for the crimes these filth have committed.

The good news is, according to G. Edward Griffin, that it takes only three percent of the population to initiate revolution.

And, he says, the realization by the people of what they are up against this with this banker-cartel tyranny is increasing tremendously and when it reaches that point of which you and I are awaiting, he believes the people will take action.

Gold is not the only money to disappear under the Kiev regime. Back in February, a $3 billion dollar agriculture loan for future grain deliveries to China apparently disappeared too. I think the Chinese started to sue them for it in London, but that story seems also to have disappeared off the radar.

In February 2014. the current Prime Minister of Ukraine Yatsenyuk said that "location $ 3 billion is not found."

Let me get this straight, when the design of the US central bank was planned, to a great extent, in Jekyll Island by NY bankers, that was Bolshevism?  The closest thing to left wing politics in that time in NOrth America was what was happening south of the Rio Grande, during the Mexican Revolution.

 I know that some like to claim that everything centralized is Bolshevik, but that just ain't the case.  Capture of governmet policy by big, successful capitalists is a natural part of capitalism and has happened over and over again in capitalist systems.  Even if small, libertarian free marketeers think it shouldn't happen, somehow it does.

You can call a dog a cat all day long, QE, but it's still a dog.

first, you have to stage a radical liberal (in the classic sense) revolution, like the Swiss did in 1848

then you have to foster a tradition of referenda. that ain't easy, because often you get people to think a referendum is a one-in-a-lifetime decision thing

example: recently, the Swiss had a referendum about quotas for immigration, which causes untold grief regarding their treaties with the EU. now I hear there is already a counter-referendum in the works

A simple question.  How did such a slight majority against the gold referendum before the vote, become such a huge majority without any polls predicting that?  Looks like Latin American style elections to me.

the way I see it from slightly afar: polls have difficulties to predict Swiss referenda on side issues. the main referendum was the "ecopop initiative", which was widely discussed among the Swiss. I'm sorry, but for me it looks like most the Swiss considered the "Save Our Gold Initiative" as "another of those loony ones". Remember, Swiss trust their SNB, are very conscious of the fact that their semi-sovereign "cantons" are the owners of the SNB through their Cantonal Banks and are very aware of the issue since the "floor" to the EUR, something that was widely discussed, too

Gee?...

Wonder how long it will take for the NATO clan that has mercs throughout Western Ukraine to pack it in and "call it a day" now that they know they won't be getting paid along with disenfranchised Neo-Nazis that are starving to death fighting for the "Yellow and Blue" in Donbass?

With this kind of news I see a referendum coming Kiev's way from every other region in the Ukraine that will be requesting "annexation" with Crimea.

Is this what is seems?

This could just be insiders pursuing a legal case with the agreement that it results in a minor slap on the wrist.  Then the whole affair is closed and no one is to look further.  A couple govt employees lose their jobs only to be rewarded with better ones at private banks.  Notice those at the front are women, how can you wish violence on women?  (We now have a woman at the Fed and I think this is because something is going to hit the fan during her reign)

It is not the "people" doing this.  This is to pacify those stupid people.  And it was not the "people" who overthrew the govt of Ukraine, it was hired thugs, mercenaries,  nazis, CIA, Massad, US.   It is laughable to think those who did this revolution are going to revolt against what they now control.

The "people" sat while their govt was overthown by outside forces and those they financed.  They are not innocent and they will begin feeling the effects of the destruction of their economy and constitution along with the looting of their resources.  The price will be higher than expected.

The various political groups in Ukraine all had good reason to try and overthrow the oligarchs rule. Where the trouble came in was that NATO and the EU was playing the Galicia card and the radical fascist card of western Ukraine. While Kiev liberals sought for an oligarch free nation as did the east of the country. Instead of getting rid of the oligarchs, the Maidan put the old pro western oligarchs back into power thay had held only a few short years ago, only this time with empowered fascists and radical west Ukrainian nationalists. Galicia became a part of the USSR in 1940 as part of the division of Poland, adding a hot bed of fascism to the old USSR. This is where the west sought influence after WWII and helped support the people now in power in Kiev. Oligarchs of the West now rule. Nothing has changed expecpt the radical rights, a small minority in Ukraine, has US support and is behind most policies. Including allowing the US a free hand inside financial banking circles. Where did the gold go? Ask the United States of America, because they rule Kiev, with the aid of oligarchs.

The revolution is now a total failure. The allowing of the Nazi element to take power has turned all the East into independent republics at war with battalions of Nazi Guards and a few combat willing Ukrainian army units. Meanwhile, if you take the trouble to research the fascists that the USA supports as their agents inside Ukraine, you will easily see why the East in declaring independence. The West of Ukraine is mixed ethnically, it was never a real part of Ukraine, it was absorbed in 1940. It should be allowed independence and it's own Galician state. Those in Ukraine proper who follow the radical right path are not large enough in number, minus Galicia, to be in power. Thus a political solution might be possible for a united Ukraine. Otherwise, the East will never come back. The US State Department pinned it's hopes on fascists, and now it is a total failure. But this is the ususal for America's State Department. Failure is their trademark.

Great write-up JB

Speaking of WWII and how history always gets re-engineered by those declaring victory!...

Von Ribbentrop's words on the "invasion of the low Country" by the usual suspect(s) that led to all out war much like what we now witnessing with Ukraine and Syria!

I often wonder if alternative news through the internet would have changed the dynamics for preventing war had Ribbentrop and the public in that day had the tools at their disposal?...

From what we have witnessed thus far on the subject I'm certainly not that optimisitc "sheep" being what they are, but we can always hope!

Yes... and China too.

And Ukraine should be grateful those countries wanted Gold that Ukraine had rather than currencies that Ukraine did not have.

This is really simple.

Look at a list of Ukraine's trade partners.

The ones who bought more stuff from Ukraine than Ukraine bought from them are Ukraine's debtors...and all of them are in financial trouble.

The ones who sold Ukraine more stuff than Ukraine sold to them are Ukraine's creditors - and they want to get paid!

With a Civil War in Ukraine, who is going to take Hrivna that may be worthless with a wave pf Putin's hand?

What else do people expect Ukraine to use?  This is what Gold is for.

While the central banks tell you gold is a barbaric relic, the central banks use it as money amongst themselves.

Honestly, did you think that Ukraine's creditors were going to accept Hrivna?

Every country with whom Ukraine has a positive trade balance has a crap-currency. 

The countries with whom Ukraine as a negative trade balance have slightly better crap-currencies.

What did you think they were going to want to settle outstanding transactions???????

What?   You think the west has that gold?  Maybe a little... but not most of it.

Go back and look at the list of Ukraine's creditors.  That is who has the gold.

 

For the brght ones who think Ukraine is being screwed with this, answer this:

What would happen to the Hrivna if Ukraine's creditors stopped accepting the gold and insisted Ukraine use Hrivnas to get a hard currency to use to repay them????

To answer that question you have to ask yourself how many Hrivna's would someone want for a hard currency, and how would the Uke CB get those Hrivna?

(A lot.   And the Uke CB would have to print them... a HUGE number of them.)
