From my quick calculation, that’s approximately 379,166 ounces of gold 😳

    Wow!!! That's some serious stacking. He would fit right in here. :D
    Actually, he'll be in prison until he becomes an involuntary organ donor. The Chinese don't hesitate to severely punish criminals and profit from them when possible.

    "And it wasn’t only gold — police also seized more than $37 billion in cash and assets, the paper said."

    I find that hard to believe.

    The link below is a video of the gold found in the mansion>

    I mean, I doubt the mayor was on the up and up. This type of individual is where I bet much of the bitcoin value comes from. Just to be clear, I'm not saying that bitcoin is only used for these types of purposes, but I would be willing to bet bitcoin is the easiest way to conceal funds.

    Per the article:

    "And it wasn’t only gold — police also seized more than $37 billion in cash and assets, the paper said".

    Wow, he must have been a really good Mayor >:) .

    What the foreign “press” (three different news organizations: NY, Pakistan, UK) is releasing... all suspect.

    Making my version of “news:”

    A scapegoat for the mastermind politician(s) who are ultimately responsible. His time in prison will be minimal because he will be executed. His family will not be mentioned and will disappear.

    The found “items” will be confiscated and go to the government where the aforementioned masterminds will take back there shares.

    Making fake news is “fun.” :D

    IMO and not worth two cents.

    What's insane is that he stayed IN China. Brains would have had an "agent" there to stack the stuff while he went to Monaco.

    But then he was the MAYOR ....and like all mayors so dedicated to bringing prosperity to his people that he couldn't very well go away. :D

  • topstuftopstuf Posts: 14,803 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Meant "agent to stack and SHIP the stuff. :D

    I’m thinking fakes on the currency, counterfeit, has to be. Billions like that is quite an unbelievable slush fund.

    The amount of gold alone borders on the unbelievable.... and that much cash as well??? He should have left the country years ago to live the good life somewhere....Cheers, RickO

    He would have got out but he got caught waiting for a package from chiniu67 , (that we know here was never shipped), but he didn’t know, and he wanted to wait for it...

    Poetic justice would be finding out it is all counterfeit.
