behind the political correct diplomatic words, I still see IMF is bluffing.

If they really just want to sell the gold to fund their other noble courses and do not want to disturb the gold market like they claimed, they should not care who they sell, as long as the buyer is not a terrist. Now central banks are hesitating, POG is significant higher than $1050 which is the India buy price, and the market has been consolidating above $1050 for 4 mths, IMF's sale to Sprott will give them a good price, will give them the money to "help the world", will not disturb the market, they have no real reason to turn down Sprott. The only reason I see is bluffing. Like Rob M. said, IMF can try to throw all 3000 tons gold they have to the market, and it will disappear quickly like in an ocean.
