What is the Big Hurry to Get Gold Bullion Moved? We don’t mind if you call us suspicious. When we first heard about all the gold that was being packed up and shipped at considerable expense from Europe, mostly from the Bank of London, we wondered if it had anything to do with the talk of Fort Knox about to be audited.
