Assume someone had or could get control of the gold vault some time in the past 5 years.

Someone could sell or transfer a tweaked bar in, say 1987.
That would capture 1/2 the value of the bar. The bars have numbers.

The incentive is they need the money because of the market crash in 87. Tweaking bars gets them enough money to cover debts, and assume that about half the remaining money is invested - about 1/4 the value of the bar. Assume that they are able to make about 7% per year, by 2007 they have 4 X the the invested money.

The specific bar is then bought back or swapped.

If it can be processed, about half the gold can be recovered, and the tungsten slug gets to disappear.

So now our game players have eliminated the evidence of the crime, and have money and some gold.

Sort of like do it yourself fractional reserve banking.
