"Below is one of the strangest stories in financial history, one involving the US government lying about hundreds of thousands of tons of imaginary gold, illegal wire transfers and loans totalling $15 trillion. The video, from the House of Lords, is amazing in itself.
What it doesn't express is where the money came from though Lord James of Blackheath proves conclusively that an effort was made to say it came from a gold reserve in Brunei that, in fact, never existed."

This story goes off the rails pretty early on
QuoteOn February 16, 2012, Lord James of Blackheath, member of Britain's House of Lords presented evidence of an illegal scheme begun, he has thus discovered, in 2009. His documents including originals signed by Alan Greenspan and Timothy Geithner, show the illegal "off the books" transfer by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York of $15 trillion to, initially, HSBC (Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation) London and then to the Bank of Scotland.
Greenspan left the FED in 2006, why would he be signing documents in 2009?
The documents were discovered by Lord James of Blackheath in 2009
I agree the sentense is misleading however the video makes this point a little clearer.
I have no idea why Blackheath would sit on this investigation for so long

"Mr. Riyadi has sent me a remarkable document dated February 2006..[sic] Mr Timothy Geithner as a witness on behalf of the International Monetary Fund"
Geitner left the IMF in 2003.
It just goes to show, that there is no causation between money and intelligence. I see people get taken for millions of dollars all the time on very simple scams. I wonder how these people get so much money to begin with?
It reminds me of a story from last week.

They actually took 6 swiss banks for millions. It was supposed to be 6 trillion dollars issued in 1934 in increments of $1 billion dollars each. That would have been 10 times the GDP at the time and almost 1/2 of all current U.S. debt. Even a small amount of critical thought, the bankers would have laughed the scammers out of the building.
Not much different than a nigerian prince scam.
So far these types of scams have cheated investors out of 10 billion dollars.

I wonder how much Lord David James lost?
