The Mystery Of Dubai's Vaporized Gold: The Plot Thickens
Earlier this week, we told a fascinating story about an unprecedented, multi-year smuggling ring involving Turkey, Iran, and Dubai (as well as China, Russia and countless other nations) which saw corruption reaching to the very top of the political and financial establishment: from president Erdogan in Turkey, to one of Turkey's richest people, Iran-born Riza Sarraf, to Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, the son of the ruler of Abu Dhabi and one of the world's richest people. The smuggled object in question was gold, billions of dollars worth of gold.
The focus of the story was the previously unknown Dubai gold trading house, Gold.AE, until recently managed by one Mohammed Abu-Alhaj, which as we showed was the primary conduit by which Turkish physical gold found its way "legally" in Dubai, from where it subsequently left for Iran but not before pocketing millions in "commissions."
As we reported, Gold.AE - a subsidiary of Gold Holding, the largest gold-focused investment holding company headquartered in Dubai - and the company perhaps best known for launching gold ATMs in the Emirates back in 2010...
... announced a few days ago that it had suddenly and unexpectedly gone out of business, after an inquiry by minority shareholders announced that the entire old "management team abruptly resigned with no notice" and that "there had been substantial withdrawals from the company's account to the personal accounts of some of the management and the majority shareholders."
In other words, the company which was used as a cover for billions in gold transactions over the last several years in the Turkey-Iran gold smuggling trade, was suddenly not only insolvent but had been thoroughly plundered of all its holdings, including a thorough plundering of client accounts.
Think the Corzining of MF Global, only on steroids, goes to Dubai.
To be sure the police was quickly involved:
In order to try and secure/recover monies that had been taken out of the accounts of the company, Mr. Gauthier in his capacity as manager has filed various cases as against the recipients of the funds from the Company (Dubai Police ( Bur Dubai Police Station), Case No: 24378). The minority shareholders are doing everything within their powers to support him in his efforts to recover these monies that were withdrawn from Gold AE in questionable circumstances.
DMCC has alleged that some of these activities undertaken by the previous management are in breach of DMCC's rules and as such they have taken the decision to terminate the license of the Company. We are working closely with DMCC to find a solution and in the meanwhile, we request that you bear with us. In the meanwhile, as a statutory consequence of the license being terminated, the trading platform of the Company has to shut down as of the date of termination of the license which is 24th November 2015.
However, since as Gold.AE admitted a Swiss bank account had been uncovered, it is very unlikely that any of the funds involved will be recovered.
And now that the gold-trading company at the nexus of what may have been the world's biggest gold smuggling ring in history has imploded seemingly overnight, vaporizing countless tons of physical gold and unknown amounts of client cash, even more questions remain.
One attempt to answer some of these comes from the website of Arabian Business, which has picked up on this trail and reports that it is understood that the previous management team were replaced in March, resulting in the appointment of Andres Gauthier as CEO and Mo Nico Consari as managing director.
It is unclear why or what prompted the removal of the previous management team, or why it took nearly 9 months for an update to clients to be issued, in which it was made abundantly clear that there was no money left in the gold trading organization.
The article continues:
Gold AE suspended its services without warning in October, according to a handful of its customers who claim not to have been able to access their accounts for several weeks.
The December 16 Gold AE email to customers states that, during an internal investigation, Gold AE’s acting management found that members of the previous management team “had used significant amounts of client and shareholders’ money and transferred [it] to multiple locations, including Switzerland, Jordan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.”
It is understood that Gold AE’s customers have been urged to initiate arbitration in Dubai’s courts on an individual basis in order to recoup their lost investments.
However, customers claim they have been left in the dark about what has been going on at the company and have been unable to trade their product or access their accounts.
How much money have clients lost? "One customer, who asked not to be named, told Arabian Business they were in touch with around 60 of Gold AE’s estimated 2,000 clients and that that minority alone claims to have around AED12 million ($3.2 million) locked up in the company."
This is just a small portion of what was supposed to be client "segregated" accounts, which lately we have seen are nothing but a piggy bank for corrupt management to borrow from, or steal outright, at whim.
According to Arabian Business, it is thought the total amount of missing funds reaches $25-30 million. The reality, however, is that nobody knows and a far more important question is how many hundreds of millions or billions were funneled through Gold.AE in the period starting in 2012 when the company's now disgraced former manager, Abu-Alhaj, became the Dubai frontman for all Turkish gold laundering.
As for Gold.AE's clients, they are understandably furious:
The source claimed Gold Holding “has failed to take responsibility and that DMCC and DIFC are playing ping-pong with us customers while we go to appeal to try to solve this matter.” The source added: “No one is taking responsibility to resolve this and we as customers are feeling very helpless.
“Even the police are not taking this up and are directing us towards the court. So we are in the process of appointing lawyers to represent us in court.” Dubai Police and Dubai Courts did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Considering a major shareholder of Gold.AE's holding company is none other than Abu Dhabi's second most important person, this is not a surprise.
Additionally, the regulators are also now involved. Too bad that, just like in the US, they arrived on the scene just a little bit too late:
A spokesman for the DMCC said in an emailed statement to Arabian Business: “DMCC is aware of allegations relating to Gold AE, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gold Holding Limited - a DIFC-licensed entity.
“We have conducted an internal investigation into the allegations of fraudulent activity by Gold AE. As a result of this investigation, DMCC has terminated the trade licence for Gold AE and have notified Gold Holding Limited accordingly.
“By terminating the trade licence of Gold AE, the company is mandated by law to cease all of its trade operations and not undertake any further commercial activities. We are closely monitoring the matter and have verified information that relevant authorities are taking necessary next steps.
“In its capacity as licensing authority, DMCC is unable to provide specific financial or legal advice to any customer of Gold AE. We encourage strongly that all customers of Gold AE contact Gold Holding Limited for further information.
“In order to assist customers of Gold AE who are experiencing difficulty in receiving information from Gold AE, DMCC is preparing further guidance for all clients of Gold AE, which will be issued shortly.
“In the meantime, please send any enquiries to goldcomplaints@dmcc.ae. We will forward them on to Gold Holding Limited who, we understand, is collating customer information at this time.”
And now the rush to make sure any link between the criminal Gold.AE and its parent, SBK Holdings-owned Gold Holdings is immediately severed. A spokesperson for the DIFC said: "We wish to make it clear that although Gold AE is a subsidiary of M/s Gold Holding, which is a DIFC-based holding company, Gold AE and M/s Gold Holding Ltd are two separate entities."
"We wish also to clarify that M/s Gold Holding Ltd is, to our knowledge, not involved in any trading operations, client-facing business affecting clients of Gold AE or the provision of any financial services. Accordingly, it is not regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority."
Why the scramble to exonerate Gold Holding Ltd? Because as we reported yesterday, it is owned by this man: Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Sultan is the advisor to the President of UAE, the eldest son of Khalifa Bin, President of the United Arab Emirates, Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and Ruler of Abu Dhabi.
Sultan may just be most important young person in Dubai, which makes him among the top 20 most important, not to mention wealthiest, in the world.
It would not be good for his reputation if it emerged that not only is his holding company involved in the biggest gold smuggling scandal in history, but that said company just vaporized after an unprecedented case of management embezzlement.
Or is it?
When Arabian Business emailed the public inquiries email address for Gold Holding, info@goldholding.com, it received a reply from Mohammad Abdel Khaleq Abu Al Haj, who is a member of Gold AE’s previous management team facing allegations of fraud.
Al Haj insisted in his email that Gold AE’s existing management team were responsible for the alleged fraudulent activity. He also claimed that requests by him for meetings with shareholders to discuss management issues had been refused.
So, is the former CEO of Gold.AE the criminal mastermind, the person who was responsible for the Turkish gold presence in Dubai, and the one who defrauded Gold.AE... or is he merely the fall guy: after all the new management team, according to Arabian Business, had been at the company since March: how could it take it 9 months to uncover that the company was nothing but a hollow shell, whose assets had been pilfered by the previous management.
And if indeed this crazy story which has every possible James Bond element in it culminates with a case of scapegoating, does that immediately mean that Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa, a person at the top of the Gulf's political and financial oligarchy, is involved. Because if he is, so is the US, as nothing happens in Abu Dhabi without the United States being aware of it. Finally, if that is the case, it means that not only did the US sanction what has been the world's biggest gold smuggling ring, but that it implicitly gave Iran its blessing to use barterable Turkish gold in order to bypass sanctions imposed by... the United States!
In the next installment of this action and mystery-packed series, we hope to uncover just what the role of the "developed" countries was in this massive smuggling operation, and perhaps even more importantly, where did Turkey end up buying hundreds of tons of gold which it subsequently sold to Iran and where did the Iranian gold ultimately end up?

Goldfingered!
If you don't hold it, then you don't own it.
Blythe and Bernank laughing all the way to the bank at all Gold.AE hodlers...
<--- There is 14k tonnes of gold at the Fed's banks
<--- There is NOT 14k tonnes of gold at the Fed's banks
Not if was being used to trade for millions of barrels of oil.
"So, is the former CEO of Gold.AE the criminal mastermind, the person who was responsible for the Turkish gold presence in Dubai, and the one who defrauded Gold.AE... or is he merely the fallguy"
Short answer: The latter.
gold seemed to have a habit of disappearing during widespread (Civil, WW2) war, no?
So what are we concluding?
" We Schlonged some folks. "
ZH, great follow up and recap. Much easier to understand than the original article.
Indeed. Moar, please.
Oh yeah..., gold will be recovered, no doubt.
Your segregated account, sir?
Oh yes, it's still segregated. A long long way segregated.
Object? You object, sir? To the back of the segregated complaint bus with you!
Your Chinese (fire)wall.....is crap.
Even Jon Corzine wouldn't have attempted this.....you die for doing crap like that over there.
All roads will lead back to J.P. Morgue and Goldman Sucks, just give it time.

Gee, all this mystery and intrigue over some worthless barbarous relic? Egypt's gold stolen, Saudi gold stolen, Iraq gold stolen, Libya gold stolen, Ukrain gold stolen, most of the West gold sold away along with all the other stolen gold all ending up in China or Russia. Sure seems like a lot of effort for a bunch of paper weights, door stops, and pet rocks.
You forgot the 911 gold......yeah.....it's gone baby.
Remember that Nazi gold train?
Yup....can't find that either.
Someone spent a whole lot of time and energy on that hoax....and I didn't believe it for a second.
If it's not under your pillow, you can't kiss it goodnight.
Owners of GLD and SLV should pay attention to stories like this.

Only the ones that had an account.....the ones that got away with the gold....a little higher.
They call them majority shareholders, how benign
yeah the majority shafted the minority, how unusual.
They voted on what to have for dinner, and the vote came up "minority shareholders".
ya if i was that guy, I definitely wouldn't be going to any secret meetings out in the middle of the desert, that for sure. WHat better fall guy to take the blame than a guy who simply 'disappears'. Im thinking something like a hajji version of holes in the desert a-la las vegas/goodfellas

I'm sure there are other fails in your list but those are some of the ones that jump out at me immediately.
Oh, I see that you are using a highly up-to-date blog post from 2010 for your "research".
But don't worry, the Black Muslim nationalists hate the Jews too. Maybe you guys can invite each other over for dinner and work out a common front.
Don't hate us, goyim! We just view you as our cattle and deeded property, creatures in human form without the rights of man! Just be good little doggies and wag your tails for us!
Anything less is like 6,000,000 Shoahs!
Surely it's gotta be some form of neurosis, where a story in which the Zios and the Christians and the Masons and the WASPs and the neo-atheists figure not at all, yet that's all the ZH commenters want to rant about.
Imagine being a spouse to one of these dorks.
"Honey, the petunia bush needs trimming."
"I'll tell you what needs trimming is Congress. Do you know how many Jews are in the House and Senate? Russ Feingold, Frank Lautenberg, Joseph Lieberman, Arlen Specter, Eric Cantor, Barney Frank, Gabrielle Giffords, Anthony Weiner..."
All the while the overgrown portions of the petunia bush remain perfectly safe for some period, stretching out into the mists of an unknowable future, far beyond the known lifespan of petunia bushes...
Yes, please tell us all about neuroses. What would Freud prescribe?
Experts on neuroses would be people that have above-average incidence of mental illness, isn't that right?
Good work. Thank you. But... there's a 900 lb question in the room:
These People, a mere 2% of the population, did not take over these positions Mafia or ISIS style.
YOU, YOU DUMB-ASS WHITE CHRISTIANS LET THEM. SO WHAT'S THAT SAY ABOUT YOU, YOU DUMB FUCKS?
I know truth hurts, when the blame is at home.
As a former Christian, it pains me to turn the spotlight ('Situational Analysis') on those of my own race and European culture. It truly does. But, no person or group can grow and develop, unless they can honestly look at their own mistakes and weaknesses, and have the courage and determination to take corrective action. This applies most certainly to Modern Christians. Who worship a Jewish God, BTW. How ironic is that? I think it's funny.
This Cleansing or Recalibration might involve looking and challenging the very premises, that we were taught from early on, and look at them in a new light of cultural and religious aggression.
For instance (whether I "believe in the historical Jesus" aside), I do not think that his teachings mean that you should be passive, kind or turn the other cheek all the time. In his day there was so little kindness and mercy, that (I think) he merely suggested that these gentle & kind responses might be a useful change of tactics and strategy. Don't forget that he got outraged and took violent physical action in the Temple, when he overthrew the Moneychangers' tables (banks).
For those who simply refuse to be anything but do-gooder Christians, I would offer this suggestion to temper their level of Christian kindness: Use the RECIPROCITY PRINCIPLE, when dealing with non-Christians, or Christians of unproven character.
This simply means that instead of engaging or proceeding on Trust, you leave trust out of the equation altogether, and proceed on a set of Principles. One of them is reciprocal Courtesy and Manners. Always be civil in your outward bearing. You don't have to like them at all, to be civil. After reciprocal Civility, look for a Quid Pro Quo opportunity ("This for that", "value for value" exchange). For instance, if a group of Muslims wants to immigrate to your country, they have to show good faith by doing the same. If they want a Mosque, they have to let you build a Church. If they want to prosyletize, then so should you in their country. If they want welfare, so should you get it in their country. Etc, etc. Anything short of a mutually agreed and balanced Deal, is nothing but a stupid and Treasonous Sellout. No matter how you 'spin' it with weasel words.
The same could be said about other cultures, races and religions. Especially among the Jewish community, where they live by a total double standard: They bitch, moan, complain and lobby when they are excluded from a position or power or influence (or they used to, till they took over), but they won't reciprocate. The fact that they won't reciprocate, is not their fault. The fault is yours, for deluding yourself that a zebra or crocodile is anything but a zebra or crocodile, and that their fundamental nature will change -- if only you are kind, loving and generous enough, i.e. if you apply enough Cultural Communism that's masquerading as 'Christianity'. Talk about deluded!
Unless and until Christians "clean house", their continual demise is a foregone conclusion and mathematical certainty. Especially when you add the mass migration of other non-European cultures and races into the mix, who serve to dilute the pool and "run interference" for our Latter Day Rulers.
Yep trust is earned. This idea that they will return any kindness is foolish at best. That faith thing has gotten many good and well meaning folks killed.
Absolutely right.
BUT - so it goes since Stonage. Over 10000 years. Nothing changed.
One should ask why. There are anwers.
Possibly the middle class and 70 or 80% of the dumb fucks ARE money changers too. Small und dumb ones - but money changers anyway. Either this way (we promise jobs = money) or that way (we are going to lower taxes = money, healthcare for everybody = money for everybody etc) or buy this (Porsche) and that (nice house) and you are gonna be way way smarter. In the end it all circles down and around money and assets and status and power. Who cares about ethos still - or about honesty or justice or balance? What counts is the month end cheque. Thru out all classes and societies.
In the end - truth is: we ARE (and there is no change in sight and 10000 years of proven history): 99.99% dumb fucks. Since Stonage.
So honestly is it a wonder the 0.01% take matters into their own hands?
Take a herd of animals: there are ALWAYS alpha animals - and the rest running behind the alpha animals trying to copy and outpace them. Lemmings - nothing else.
Nice comment anyway and nevertheless - but built on illusions and visions, wishful thinking - with absolutely NO chance to ever become reality. Proven by 10000 years of history. French revolution so far was the best what was achieved. Was it worth all the blood? Into the face of "how long did it last"?
Wake me up again in 100 million years. But only if humans are replaced by something else. Less greedy, less ignorant.
Freaking tribal conspiracy theorists. I employ a number of Jews. And atheists. And Christians. They are all well compensated. The idea of "evil Jewish intent" is silly, and shows weak and feeble character. Your anger is misplaced. It's not "Jews" -- it's anyone sold out to power, greed, wealth, and cronyism (including Jews). Such corruption is built in to human nature, which is why we need checks and balances that work. Today's checks and balances no longer work. The system has been corrupted. It's not a Jewish problem. It's a human nature problem.
This is Hasbara propoganda. Israel is one of the most racist countries in the world and the source of pretty much all the strife in the ME. Any advanced technology it has is given to it by US traitors. In addition, for some reason it receives massive amounts of aid from the US. If Israel is so great as described above, why does it receive aid?
Yes, the Israelis are successful, so let's stop sending them billions of dollars per year.
(((I wonder how many days they would last.)))
Can a Christian marry a Jew in Israel? End of discussion.
Unfortunately, you stop short of stating the entire law regarding marriages in Israel. True, a non-Jew can't marry a Jew in Israel. However, a non-Christian can't marry a Christian, a Non-Muslim can't marry a Muslim, etc. It's an unfair law, but it's equally unfair among ALL faiths.
It is well known that when someone tries to end a discussion by stating, "end of discussion", that person is hiding something.

The Jews are not promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims.
The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics.
The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.
Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel's part , the following two sentences really say it all:
If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.
If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel.
"If my enemies would just unconditionally surrender, there would be peace. "
LOL. Sounds like the old Chinese propaganda that "civil war is necessary to put an end to the fighting" (in the Chinese propaganda film, Hero, the argument is made that the Emperor's wars are necessary to unite the country, and thus put an end to in-fighting).
Lists like this unveil the phenomen of "political correctness" at it's very genesis, and how efffective a method of mind control it really is. It's been hammered in for so long its impossible for many to even think about it. The ignorers must experience a subconscious soothing effect that makes one feel smarter, or more enlightened.
It cracks me up to compare this to "closed primaries" in the US sham elections. The theory is, primaries are closed to prevent a D from casting an insincere vote in a field of R candidates, and vice-versa. This needs to be prevented to preserve democracy and fair play, yet it's perfectly acceptable to have so many potentially insincere dual citizen individuals in the types of positions you list.
It is the pinnacle of brainwashing.
so...some former .01-percenters are furious with some remaining .01-percenters?
I can't wait until this whole ponzi scheme of my gold is wherever will fall flat and nobody will have their gold.
ROLF Im fuckin dying here.
I'm thinkin' I might need to stock up on popcorn. Could be epic.
Gold popcorn?
Just popcorn I'm afraid because there is no gold. It was all stolen already. They gave it to the wrong people thinking they were someone else years ago because they honestly don't have a fucking clue who they were supposed to actually give it to. Why? They are really fucking dumb. So keep watching, this goes well and beyond any rational explaination soon enough. Poetic justice how this blows up in their faces and then it gets ugly fast.
You've heard of the Texas Two-Step, right?
Well, there's also the Golden Two-Step:
Step 1: Make nationalized purchases of Gold. Get the sheeple on board, to finance it.
Step 2: Privatize nationalized gold (from CB to Private Banks). Keep sheep in dark and feed them BS -- it's just like growing mushrooms.
Said Gold, once in private hands, may or may not remain in the country. All part of the Gold Cycle.
I want to know where Lloyd Blankfein is. Didn't Goldman Sachs fleece Libya somehow?

I think they needed to hand that over to Holland as part of a deal to shut-up about a plane crash investigation or something.
The last time I checked.. Gaddafi was having an harpoon removed from his [anal cavity]homophobic camel humping friends?
The CIA is beyond pathetic, and I NEVER worked for them.
Once in private hands at the bottom step in cycle, rinse and repeat and GOTO Step 1 again?
One would think that this would send at least some people rushing for physical.
Ya think?
Most people think you buy Gold by purchasing GLD. Nuff said!
Gold will probably go down 30 bucks..lol
I hope gold goes to $0. I'll go door to door to get it off peoples hands.
Why do that when they are already giving away Gold?
The price does not have to be $0.
Short Paper Gold.
Use profits to buy Physical Gold and keep your original capital intact.
Reinvest original capital and short Paper Gold again.
Use profits to buy Physical Gold and..
You get the idea. Enjoy watching your Physical Stack grow.
It costs nothing but a little effort.
Salt some of the profit away, in Fiat, to pay the Capital Gains Taxes...You only pay that tax on the GAINS. Your original capital is not part of any gain.
Yes. The myopic Central Bankster has been giving away the Physical in order tocreate an "abundance" of supply, in order todepress price. And large players, such as Soveriegn Governments, have been soaking up the deliveries of the actual Physical Metal...in this fashion.
This cannot continue as, sooner or later, the warehouse inventories become depleted. Then the game is over and that time is approaching rapidly.

The most pressing question: Is Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan gay and does he sleep with men?
I don't think he has plans to become president of the US. He's the kind of guy that has them in his backpocket.
I haven't seen a Kodachrome portrait since the sixties.
Or noticed lipstick on a guy since then either.
Striking.

Doubt there's much sleeping involved.
He has a purty mouf ;-)
I wouldn't even put my gold in a sprott account.
Buy the gold, buy coinguards, buy some wax, seal the coinguards and burry it somewhere 1 meter deep.
Note the geo code and engrave it in your ring.

I take care of my mind and body...
Saw on TV last night that treasure hunters were using magnetic resonance machines to locate treasure
140 ft underground.On the trial runs,stuff around 6ft deep they were 100%
Uncle Scam does this from satelites over huge areas looking for underground bunkers apparently..
Works thru' water as well.
Time for a rethink on your stash hiding fellow ZHers..
MRIs do not show up near underground buried electrical lines...to my knowlege....hint, hint.
Pretty sure even overhead power lines would fuck them up.The ones before the transformer.
Perhaps we have someone on the board that could help us with the question ?
@WC,
3' down, scrap piece of chain bandied about at least 1' down.
From what I saw it would make little difference.
They could differentiate what the buried matter was even at great depths.
Remains to be seen if they were just a new set of conmen taking new suckers,yet again,
on Oak Island.
Boy, that Oak Island story has been around since I was a puppy.
There has been more money spent there than recoverable treasure I bet.
Pffft.
They're still looking for the third shooter.
If the gov is so interested and has so much control over us time to rethink WTF we need them for? Whats the point of having these fuckers if they would use their power to be complete DICKHEADS? They going to scan my yard and take my fucking gold cause they just haven’t taken enough from the people? FUCK THEM. Im sure that’s how the fucking crooks are stealing gold all over the world right now.
Imagine you live in a country that is so bad you talk realistically about how they will search your property for gold by using a satellite? Imagine you live in a world where you have to bury gold? Afraid the government might steal it, realistically. Think about it. Have no doubt I agree with the need to hide it.
And then tie a yellow ribbon around a nearby tree.
And bury it verticaly... not horizontally.
Dont forget the washers scatered all over the place. Maybe a chain going over the top of it with the other end in a bucket of cement deeper and way off to the side.
Gold doesn't need much in the way of chemical protection, unless your boat sinks in aqua regia!
Silver is a different matter altogether - mainly, keep away from anything containing sulpur.
Carpet traderts will be carpet traders.
Boogers
The London Gold Pool run by nasty nazionists, the jews who are not jews, also imploded decades ago, as they now steal again. You may be too young to know about that.

Crypto jew Middle East, crime.
Same old, same old. Jewish lightening: burn down the house and blame someone else. Claim the insurance, as per Larry Silverstein on 9/11.

20-30 $$ million missing??? That's but a rounding error in a GS Christmas party budget. What IS the problem??
Thats what I thought when I read the number.
Pulitzer worthy reporting.
So when lots of physical gold disappears or no longer exists that means the price goes up a lot ....correct ??? .... Crickets!!
The sultans & imams implicated are on the case and have their very best men tasked to getting to the bottom of all this!
Note to self: Never conduct business with sultans & imams.
Right. Anyone rich enough so that the LCS cannot help them can find legit gold wholesalers.
Here in the USA, Europe, Japan ,and Australia. Or with "brand names". Still, best be careful.
Exactly.
I have very little pity for rich elite snobs who get scammed after reading the glaring "disclaimer" of the parent company...
"Gold Holding Ltd is an investment holding company headquartered in Dubai and registered under >>>the laws and regulations of<<< the Dubai International Financial Centre.".
...in fact, I have none...lol.

If I were a member of that management team, past or present, I'd be looking to get some plastic surgery and a name change. Beats me why they think they can just stolen fortunes into a Swiss bank and this will all blow over. I doubt that the customers who whoes accounts got vaporized will be quite so forgiving.
This whole deal sounds like some second-class black-market/intel operation to funnel gold to Iran, bypassing the sanctions.
There seem to be a lot of businessmen in Turkey who want to live short exciting lives. a few in Dubai too.
Those five ounces[31.1], and the next five ounces of gold, will line my rock lake collection with?
Now, I'm on the ( Bubble)... Let's see what the equity providers have in stock?
His head adorned in the finest checkered linen (to hide his semitic, curly, balding, sheer, jet-black pateen); his cranium adorned with a double-wrap of purple heat-absorbing snake-like things; his lips pursed and his beard and mustache trimmed as that of the finest whore in Babylon (whose lips represent the oral vagina); Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan poses for his 'file-photo' at the 2012 Obama Inaguration festivities. (Photo courtesy AP)
Meanwhile, in the 'western world', the proles who don't understand the difference between Shiites and Sunnis and INBRED COCK-SUCKING ASS-FUCKING GOATLOVERS are in SHOCK and AWE at the crass and overt theft of 'GLD' (Oil, Texas tea, Fedres notes).
SO,
Do the GOLD ATM'S STILL WORK?
Gonna buy a condo on a man-made island off the coast of Dubai, next year. The island that looks like a palm tree (from my personal jet).

Yes, that was strange, M.S.

Looks like Been Burnankey's brother (they all brotha's).
So the Qataris cheated people.
We are supposed to be surprised?!
Travis--- You're years too late...
Old Levis, non- sweatshop ad.
"... it means that not only did the US sanction what has been the world's biggest gold smuggling ring, but that is implicitly gave Iran its blessing to use berterable Turkish gold in order to bypass sanctions imposed by... the United States!"
This proves that the US/Israeli quarrel with Iran is/was also fake. The Iranian leadership is also in the club.
You are quite right. The late US citizen Marc Rich (later Glencore) supplied Israel with Iranian oil during sanctions. He was pardoned by Bill Clinton on his last day in office. I do not know whether that was for evading expat tax or breaking sanctions or both. Maybe the document did not contain a reason. Before, Marc Rich cleaned out the gold from the dying Soviet Union (see Claire Sterling's last book).
Too late to ask him about the disappearance of the German gold.
The flow from west to east and the resulting scarcity in the west and its desperation to hold up the petrodollar is showing up in some rather strange places.
A little parody for understanding the banking curruption
Key & Peele - Undercover Boss - YouTube
Marty Armstrong swears gold is not manipulated . . .
...And that's all you need to know about "Marty" Armstrong.
See! Never trade in gold.
They say if you owe the bank a million dollars, you have a problem, but if you owe them 100 million, they have a problem.
There has to be some kind of corollary in this.
If you are a bank or a financial institution, and you owe all of your clients collectively several 100 million, they have a problem.
The conclusion:
DON'T TRUST FUCKING BANKS OR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, BITCHEZ!
ANY of them can do this at any time and you HAVE NO RECOURSE, DO NOT DELUDE YOURSELF.
MsCreant: I haven't had a bank account, debit, or credit card in 15 years. I transact all my skills via other methods and co-own over 400 acres of gold mining territory in several locations that literally cost me $2,500 in worthless paper to buy from people that had no business owning these claims to begin with. I was elated to rid myself of the worthless paper for land and mining rights. The beauty of it... it's a one time cost and once per year mining report.
They ain't urban areas, but that's what we like. And we are all set up to do it. Our vocabulary won't even have the word "Bank" in it, nor the words "tax slave", "tax donkey", or other point-of-the-gun threats to just being human.
It's not a life style for the feint of heart. But neither is the bank/slave/urban style either.
What happens in Dubai, stays in Dubai.
There may be some confusion about who the Chairman is of SBK.
This article and the earlier one both state that it's the young guy in the photo above (wearing lipstick?). Yes he is "Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan" but not the SBK Chairman as far as I can see. From another photo of this young guy, he appears to wear an ear stud and has lotsa tattoos on his arms.
Previous ZH article with photo of the young guy:
"Sultan was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel staff pilot in 1999 and then to the rank of colonel staff in February, 2000. He is the advisor to the president of the UAE, Khalifa bin Zayed, and the board chairman of the SBK Holding. He is among the board members of the Executive Council of Abu Dhabi."
This particular guy may be involved in offshore powerboat racing.
When you look at the SBK website, there's a photo of the actual Chairman and it's not him: "The real Chairman of SBK"
The real Chairman also carries the title of "Dr".
Maybe there's confusion with names and the rest of it which often happens in the Arab world. You have to look carefully at the "bins" to work out who's who (!)
Fuck Dubai, I stayed there a week at a friends place, its full of these arrogant Saudi desert rat terrorists who think they are gods. Will never go back there, I hope their glass palaces return to the dust they were made from.
Might just see a small spike in the price of Tungsten...
If you don't hold it, you don't own it! People never seem to learn their lesson.
HAHA The joke will be on the smugglers when they find out that gold is nothing but a worthless, antiquated, useless, barbaric relic.
You can't cheat an honest camel jockey.
Hahaha.......Greedy thieves got thieved....aah

There must be an army of golden bellied camels that will replace the container routes when deflation strikes the world.
One silk road, one belt and thousands of golden bellied camels !
Now, if certain countries did not have sanctions on them by the Atlanticists, there would be little need for this smuggling.
Would you trust your kids with a fucking arab.
No!!
Then why the fuck would you leave your gold with a fucking arab.
Are you being serious (it this case, I would regard your comment as not only racist, but stupid) or is it supposed to be a "funny joke" ?
It was actually quite lucid, logical, and coherent. It was if the Donald himself had spoken the words.
Or were you just trying to emote a little sarcasm?
I am really surprised. It looks like racists (and overly simplistic) comments are appreciated on zerohedge (they get upvotes, I get downvotes). So I am asking simply : is it what ZH is about ? Or maybe I don't understand the joke ? (I'm French and not using english on a daily basis)
ZH is US-based, right ? For me, America is about freedom, tolerance, pluralism. That is its real strength and that is what makes this website interesting. If I'm wrong about it, if most of you are becoming intolerant because of what is going in the world, just tell me and I will stop being interested in who you are and what you think.
I think America is the most powerful country in the world because, despite its negative aspects, it has a positive leadership. I am talking about your values. If you start being intolerant and racist, I think your country will slowly die, because you will loose this positive leadership and people will start to think you do not deserve the power you have.
I think ZH should be above this. If not, too me, it would not be a place where to have interesting debates. It would be a place where to simply offload once's emotions. And that we would have huge a problem.
