“This week, a well-known Dutch bank was the first financial institution to inform its clients that their ‘gold investments’ are no longer physically deliverable, proving that the physical gold and ‘paper gold’ are different commodities with different prices. The world’s financial system is short on gold and no gold bars, except those that are kept by the owners, are safe from confiscation. ABN AMRO, the biggest Dutch bank, has sent a letter to its clients stating that they will no longer be able to take physical deliveries of the gold they have bought through ABN. Instead they are offered money at the current market rate for gold.”
