money, i think he's got approx 211 tons getting delivered with approx 100 tons from london alone... i'm good for yelling "everybody get on the f'n floor" and swinging a gun but heavy lifting is'nt really my bag... we might have to hire some venezuelans.

seriously though.... the london end has my attention, a couple years back there were stories about londons gold reserve "cracking" and deliveries showing up as gold plated tungsten. in the "off chance" that gold shows up to venezuela and is'nt actually gold or some country says "we need a little more time to get the shipment together" we could end up seeing the biggest rush for physical delivery ever...that would be interesting.

personally, i cant believe the countries he's repatriating from are letting him bring it back. and the companies (exxon/conoco) are'nt bitching a fit.. i would think they would at least freeze the asset until after some of these arb cases are settled. there's no question in my mind this is the ONLY reason he's bringing it back to venezuela.
