Venezuela reported planning to pawn its gold through Goldman Sachs

``That gold almost surely will be delivered by Goldman Sachs to the use of the Western central bank gold price suppression scheme.'' -- This is probably not what it appears at first blush. The "gold" is not being sold, but (essentially) mortgaged, and it's the "gold" that Venezuela still has in the UK, which is probably just ledger entries anyways. So in essence this may be letting GS satisfy gold obligations in cash, saving them the embarrassment of potentially having to deliver physical gold they don't have.
