Paper Gold is Legalized Fraud


 -- Published: Friday, 9 September 2016 | Print  | Disqus 

A lot of questions were raised when it was reported that Deutsche Borse failed to deliver physical gold in exchange for its Xetra-Gold Notes. But the only real answer to those questions is simple: the only way you ever own physical gold is if you buy actual physical gold and take possession.

The allegations that Xetra-Gold or Deutsche Bank or Deutsche Borse committed fraud or failed to deliver gold are strictly false.

One thorough reading of the Xetra-Gold prospectus dispels those allegations. The prospectus little more than a blanket legal disclaimer. The language is clear. It says right in the prospectus that the an investment in the Notes “does not constitute a purchase or other acquisition of Gold.” There is not case for fraud because none of the participants in Deutsche Borse, and Deutsche Borse itself, did not commit any breach of contract per the terms of the prospectus.
