US Official Gold Reserves Auditor Caught Lying<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

More false statements by the auditor have appeared, further eroding its credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"<span<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In my previous post<\/a>, from March 2018, on the audits of US official gold reserves, I have exposed that during the audit procedures of the US official gold reserves from 1974 through 2008, repeatedly audit staff deviated from the auditing protocol, while internal control<\/a> meant to prevent this was failing. Many audits and assay reports have been destroyed. For decades a significant share of the metal was excluded from verifications for no apparent reason. And, the US government went to great lengths in withholding information and spreading false information about the audits, among other findings in documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. All in all, these findings made me question the integrity of the auditor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After my last publication, I have obtained more documents from the US Treasury through FOIA requests, which expose another falsehood that puts the auditor in an even more peculiar position. In conflict with the audit protocol, the permanent seals of the vault compartments have been broken, time and again. In addition, the auditor has lied about these events, and when confronted, it\u2019s unable to explain its actions. By now, I have lost faith in the auditor fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prologue <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a very long investigative journey that has led me to make bold statements, such as the ones above, about the auditor of the world\u2019s largest gold holding. I wouldn\u2019t claim anything of this magnitude if I didn\u2019t thoroughly do my homework and research every single possibility that could have caused the auditor to have accidentally<\/em> spread inaccurate material, including asking the auditor for an explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If any of their statements appeared to be false, surely, they would be able to explain what I was missing. The head auditor said during a congressional hearing in 2011 (source video 42:50<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
