Jim Rickards - Swiss Bank Client Denied His $40 Million in Gold
In an exclusive King World News interview, Jim Rickards told KWN that he was
informed that a client of a major Swiss bank requested to take his one ton
of physical gold that he owned outright out of the bank, and the bank would
not give him his gold. The client had to use his lawyers and threaten to go
public in order to eventually get his gold.
Jim Rickards: "I Obviously can’t mention the names of the individuals or
the banks involved, nor is there any need to. But just the bare bones which
was reported to me was that an individual had a ton of gold, it’s about $
40 million, so a $40 million position of physical and simply wanted the gold
. Now this was not paper gold, it was not unallocated gold, it was not a
gold future or a gold forward, gold option or Comex gold. This was just
good old fashioned gold where he owned it outright, it was in effect a
warehouse receipt is what they give you."
EK: Right, meaning he had his gold put there and they gave him the receipt
and the gold is supposed to be sitting there.
JR: "Correct and upon request to move the gold...the bank demurred, the bank
said, ‘Well, no, not so fast’ and he said, ‘What do you mean?’ Anyway
, long story short I could see that taking a day or two...This took thirty
days to complete delivery. Now if the gold is sitting there it shouldn’t
take thirty days. Oh, and by the way I should add that the individual had
to threaten to go public, in effect say I’ll call Reuters or I’ll call
King World News or I’ll call Dow Jones and let them know that you don’t
have the gold, you’re not good for it."
Ek:And he had his lawyers get involved?
JR: "Correct, and through all of that eventually the individual did get his
gold, but this is something that should have taken two days, three days, a
week at the most, although I would say even a week is a long time. But it
took thirty days, and it took lawyers, it took threats of publicity, it took
a lot of pressure to do that, which my inference is that that gold was not
there. The bank had to scramble, go out and find it somewhere before they
could make good delivery."
EK: Right, so they had either leased it out or they had done whatever with
it?
JR: "Correct."
EK: ...Right, but this gets back to what Felix Zulauf said on King World
News, and you are saying the same thing here which is to make sure you are
outside of the system, just don’t even deal with a bank.
JR: "Correct, because the governments control the banks. I mean lately it
looks like the banks control the government, that’s probably true as well
but there may come a time, and I think there probably will, where the
government is going to order the banks to freeze the gold. In other words,
not make the gold available to customers. It’s still here, it’s still
yours, but sorry we’re rejigging the system and we’re not going to let you
take it out right now."
