The Financial Times reports today that Col. Gadhafi is something of a goldbug. The Libyan central bank, which the FT says is under Col. Gadhafi’s control, has been hoarding gold. According to the IMF, Libya’s central bank has 143.8 tons of gold, putting it in the global top 25.

Col. Gadhafi’s gold stash is worth about $6.5 billion

    It will all be seized. If caught, he will probably be hanged like Hussein. He has no where to go.

    Lets hope they donate the gold to the members of C.U.F. !

    Great idea but it isn't going to happen. That gold will be used to rebuild after the civil war is finally resolved.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    The Financial Times article cited by the WSJ refers to gold as being favored by criminals, investors, and dictators. Hmm....
