OK EZ. I agree. We've beaten this "Chinese" thing to death. Based upon Turtlefoam's post I guess I got excited, once again, over nothing.
It wasn't the Chinese who put a $100 billion value on the gold it was Jose Khan.
So, for me, since a Venezuelan said it, and since I can't trust anything said by anyone from Venezuela, I therefore have to believe that number has no real meaning.
We all know LC is worth several tones of money. But getting that money has been, and continues to be, another matter.
The "Chinese" Mystery quote has been solved.
End of Story.
