Missing Gold

It reads right out of a fictional spy novel and is quite interesting considering the scale of the potential money laundering fraud – $15 TRILLION! The plot involves the US government lying about hundreds of thousands of tons of imaginary gold, illegal wire transfers and loans or counterfeiting totalling $15 trillion used to prop up the U.S. dollar as bond buyers have disappeared.

This staggering amount of $15 Trillion matches the total amount of the U.S. ‘official’ debt. It would be easy to dismiss this story on the surface as fake, but the funds were apparently cleared and accepted by senior executives at both HSBC and the Royal Bank of Scotland.

"In April and May 2009, the situation started with the alleged transfer of $5 trillion to HSBC in the United Kingdom. Seven days later, another $5 trillion came to HSBC and three weeks later another $5 trillion. A total of $15 trillion is alleged to have been passed into the hands of HSBC for onward transit to the Royal Bank of Scotland. We need to look to where this came from and the history of this money. I have been trying to sort out the sequence by which this money has been created and where it has come from for a long time." Lord James of Blackheath

Lord James of Blackheath, a member of the UK House of Lords, has done his research and claims that the $15 trillion is the property of what some people have called “the richest man in the world”, Yohannes Riyadi. My Riyadi is supposedly descendent of the emperors of the Indo-China dynasty. At farfetched as it sounds, Lord James of Blackheath claims to have seen some of his accounts, showing that he owns upwards of $36 trillion. Others point to the fact that the name Yohannes Riyadi is listed on the NY FED website in connection with other bonds scams. However, an original copy of the document has been unveiled with the signature of Ben Bernanke.

David Noel James, Baron James of Blackheath CBE (born December 7, 1937) is a British businessman and corporate troubleshooter and Conservative life peer. James has had a varied career in the city of London. Between 1959 and 1964, he trained with Lloyds Bank, joining Ford Credit's launch team in 1964. He then became a director of many companies.

James attracted some press and blog attention after a speech in the House of Lords on November 1, 2010, in which he claimed to have been approached by an unnamed organization wishing to fund massive public works projects in the UK with vast currency reserves backed by gold bullion.

James attracted some press and blog attention after another speech in the House of Lords on February 16, 2012, in which he claimed a massive $15 trillion money-laundering fraud from the United States Federal Reserve in the name of "Yohannes Riyadi" - a man who may or may not exist. James offered to provide evidence and asked for an official investigation.

Yohannes Riyadi

Yohannes Riyadi is supposedly the richest man in the world and descended from the emperors of the Indo-China dynasties. Funny how no record of this exists anywhere except from Lord James of Blackheath when he exposed this crime to the House of Commons in February. Others point to the fact that the name Yohannes Riyadi is listed on the NY FED website in connection with other bonds scams. However, an original copy of the document has been unveiled with the signature of Ben Bernanke. An alternative explanation involves the Bush family and monies earned through years of currency trading aimed at collapsing the Soviet Union. The money was allegedly going to be used to support the dollar, a reasonable explanation. The money started at the Federal Reserve of New York, then to JP Morgan, HSBC and finally to the RBS. Lord Blackheath said he received an official document from Riyadi, dated 2006, which states the US government set up a meeting between him and the Fed of New York to discuss this plan. The meeting was supposedly attended by Alan Greenspan and Tim Geithner. This entire scam may be nothing more than a fancy way of money laundering with the sole purpose to keep the dollar from collapsing due to massive fraud by a collusion of the US government and the Big Banks. If they have been counterfeiting trillions of dollars for some time, this might explain why both regulators and the banks have been reluctant to open the books for financial scrutiny. Other problems exist with this story as the Fed of New York was never authorized to hold or transfer that huge sum as indicated, yet the documents that have been authenticated as legitimate show that it did, suggesting an illegal money laundering operation run from the highest levels of government. The amount of gold, 750,000 tons, used as collateral for this loan, which according to Riyadi and Lord James was actually a theft as nothing was ever paid back, is bunk as that amount of gold does not exist. There is almost certainly not that much gold in the entirety of the planet to be mined, so unless someone figured a way to turn lead to gold, this number is pure fantasy. The Bank of Indonesia said as much in a document which stated Riyadi only had 700 tons of gold, a still astronomical figure and further points to him being a real person. If the funds were transferred this way, without any government oversight from Congress or the President, it is a crime of unimaginable sums.

Farewell to the dream treasure for the poor Italian debt. Farewell to 40% of the 134 billion dollars in securities seized by the Guardia di Finanza in Chiasso. Are almost certainly false. Firstly: the two "Japanese" caught with the loot seem to be two Filipinos, delinquents international well-known, at least in Southeast Asia: the first has a couple of names, Yohannes Riyadi aka Wilfredo Saurin, the other should be his partner, Joseph Daraman. Apparently, they would have specific precedents: peddlers of false Federal Reserve. course, this is not explanatory of the biggest mystery: what purpose were thugs - apparently acting for money - would try to palm off titles cutting $ 500 million each.

Future columns will investigate into the Pureheart Foundation which appears to be a money laundering operation and the possible originator of this scam. That $15 trillion could have been used to save this country from ruin, but instead went into rich people's pockets, possibly stolen form another. Think about this. Let's say Riyadi exists and is as rich as people say. If he was a secret trillionaire and the government set him up to defraud him of some of his money, who would he go to report said crime? He doesn't seem to exist in cyberspace anywhere, but banks and our Treasury department sure seem to think he's real. It's like stealing drugs from a drug dealer. They are not going to report said crime as illegal activity is going to put them in jail to. If Riyadi does exist, getting to someone like Lord James may be the best way, while still staying anonymous.

The House of Lords was treated to a 10-minute speech last week by Lord James of Blackheath, from whom we have not heard much since he announced in 2010 that he was in touch with Foundation X, a “genuine and sincere” secret organisation that wanted to lend the British government £75bn.

David James was a City businessman commissioned by the Tories, in opposition, to report on ways of eliminating government waste. Last week, the 74-year-old peer was exercised about a story he has picked up that $15trn – that is $15,000,000,000,000 – belonging to “the richest man in the world”, Yohannes Riyadi, was deposited in 2009 in the Royal Bank of Scotland. Lord James said he remains baffled after a two-year pursuit of the story, but has all the information on a memory stick, which he is offering to hand over to the Government.

His documents include a letter from the Bank of Indonesia telling him the whole story is a “complete fabrication”. He took his concerns to the Treasury minister, Lord Sassoon, who said: “This is rubbish. It is far too much money. It’d stick out like a sore thumb and you can’t see it in the RBS accounts.”

And an alert Financial Times blogger said that had Lord James googled “Yohannes Riyadi”, the first item to come up would be a warning from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York that the name is part of an internet scam designed to get money from the gullible. Two agents are trying to trace who is behind it. Perhaps Lord James should offer his memory stick.

Update: The Fed has been warning for years that “Yohannes Riyadi” is a scam:

Scam Involving Yohannes Riyadi and/or Wilfredo Saurin

November 2007

The Federal Reserve is aware of a fraudulent scam involving individuals using the names Yohannes Riyadi and/or Wilfredo Saurin, or persons claiming to be representatives of these two men. In a typical version of this scam, Mr. Riyadi and/or his delegates falsely claim that they have on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York several U.S. Treasury Checks issued to Mr. Riyadi amounting to billions of dollars.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been contacted by several brokers and financial institutions worldwide inquiring about the validity of this fraudulent account documentation, which is being offered as collateral for lines of credit or other types of asset based financing. The fraudulent scheme includes multiple documents which purport to have the signatures of various Federal Reserve officials, including Chairman Ben Bernanke.

In some instances, individuals involved in this fraudulent scheme claim to have met with Federal Reserve officials and claim to have verified that the alleged account is in order. We have also learned that the fraud may include the purchase of certain documents by the introducing brokers.

If you have information regarding this fraud please contact either Robert Amenta, Special Investigator at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or Erik Rosenblatt, Senior Special Agent at the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Yohannes Riyadi is not the richest man in the world – this would be the head of the Rothschild family, currently Sir Evelyn Rothschild, whose net worth is estimated to be of the order of greater than half the world’s wealth; nobody else comes near to that.

The principally suspicious thing is that Lord James of Blackheath is the guy who last year put forward an offer from the shadowy, Foundation X, to the house of Lords in the UK, to pay the UK national debt. Foundation X is believed to be a front for the Rothschilds themselves.
