I have no idea if any of this is real, but nothing about it makes any sense to me. What financial institution makes a 15 million dollar deal with a new client and has such lax security? Why was there no armored car/security to pick up gold? No one with any sense should release that much gold to two ordinary people without security and proper transportation.
Additionally, I understand that any reputable parties involved would certainly be embarrassed, but what purpose does it serve to hide the details of the crime from the media, etc.? Not to mention that while the $50,000 reward is a joke in and of itself based on the value of the theft, but how is anyone supposed to claim it, if almost no one even knows about the theft?
Or, someone hacks the emails of a bunch of financial bigwigs and waits for them to do something interesting.
Or, someone hacks the emails of some company that deals with a lot of bullion, and waits for them to do something interesting.
Such a world we live in...
Even if that occurred, it wouldn’t account for the seemingly ridiculously lax security procedures that had to have been in place at the time the coins were picked up.

Certainly. The buyer must have put up the $15 million, so the only way anyone can make the big score is if the seller is forced to deliver twice.

Step one---give everyone even remotely involved a polygraph test. It will only take one insider to "crack" for the whole house of cards collapses.

The seller need not be forced to deliver twice for someone to make the big score. The big score potential is for the two people who took delivery of the coins (and their accomplices).

Whether the people who left with the gold were working with the buyer or not remains to be seen.

All I know for sure is that lawyers will be involved.

Still no confirmation of the theft on any news service that I’m aware of. If so, pls post. Otherwise, maybe it’s time to treat this story as fake news.

Regardless of whom, if anyone the thieves were working for, they already made a “big score”. That’s why I posted “ The seller need not be forced to deliver twice for someone to make the big score. The big score potential is for the two people who took delivery of the coins (and their accomplices).”

My assumption [possibly false] is that the thieves were working on behalf of the buyer, thus the double score for the buyer.

He couldn't... unless you use the new math where you count the $15 million twice.
Hypothetical scenario:
Party A gives Party B $15 million to buy gold.
Gold arrives.
Party A colludes with Party C to pick up gold using insider knowledge.
Party C picks up gold.
Party A shows at Party B with receipts for $15 million and says “Where’s my gold?”

The gold that Party C picked up was "free", while the replacement gold that Party A eventually gets was paid for.
Party A ends up with a double pile of gold, but they paid for one of them. Unless the paid-for pile is considered a "score" then it is one purchase and one score.
Sounds like party B has been negligent in releasing the Gold!?? This whole incident has been so devoid of facts, and public information one has to wonder what really happened here!???
Clearly insider information was utilized, yet no arrests have been announced!! What's going on behind the curtain!!???

As far as the buyer is concerned it is still stolen so if it is never "recovered" then the seller's insurance carrier would make him whole. Not hard to imagine.

He is either going to get replacement gold or an insurance check so double score. He has the original gold which the seller doesn't know about. You don't need to be a Perry Mason in order to figure it out.

No. He paid $15 million, Perry. He could end up with $30 million in gold, but he paid for half of it. It's a single "score".

Certainly. The buyer must have put up the $15 million, so the only way anyone can make the big score is if the seller is forced to deliver twice.
