The strange case of Germany's gold -- an interview with Peter Boehringer

Interviewed by Andrew Schiff for the summer edition of Euro-Pacific Capital's Global Investor Newsletter, Peter Boehringer of the campaign to repatriate Germany's gold reserves explains how the recent Bloomberg News report on the issue was so misleading and elaborates on the fraud of the fractional-reserve gold banking system.

"One reason that the gold was unavailable for quick delivery," Boehringer says, "could be multiple ownerships of our bars at the Fed. Given today's global fractional gold banking scheme, an (allegedly physically existing) bar in a central bank vault could have more than 10 owners and could thereby show up in more than 10 central bank balance sheets as either 'physical gold' or 'gold claim.' These two completely different balance sheet items have not been properly differentiated for many decades now. We are potentially talking about non-existent physical bars at a magnitude of tens of thousands of tonnes."
