Well, the funny thing about that article on the gold fraud scheme, Paul is this: MTB aka Manfra Tordella Brooks is one of the biggest coin wholesalers/market makers in the Western Hemisphere. If MTB they would have just allowed the little Argentineans to create these gold Argentinean gold coins/"tokens?" out of their Swiss Gold Bars and added the rarity factor of newly minted, limited edition gold coins for which they are so famous for distributing here in the USA in the first place, they would have not only been able to allow the Argentineans to keep their LEGIT 10% fabrication premium and collected their incentive bonus from the Argentine govt, but they would have been able to control supply and keep up the limited edition game ad nauseum. From where I'm sitting, it was MTB's greed at trying to get a slice of Argentine Govt "kickbacks" that made this whole thing fold. Greed is greed, whether in MTB's wire room or in Dr Koop.com yes? Have a good weekend, and thanks for the great URL. I really enjoyed reading that tale of "useless relic" manipulation. O/49r
