"Barrick's hedge book wasn't transacted on an exchange. They owe a bullion bank(s) gold or a reasonable facsimile."

One would think we should be able to track down who this is since Barrick is a publicly traded company.

"Something is up that Barrick and the bullion banks are mixed up in and the hedge covering is just BS to cover up some under handed back room stuff that could sink the US."

Couldn't they just borrow the gold from the US goverment and cover any huge short position?
