The s in his voice cuts my ear hole, please change mic settings 😭😭
Thank you for shedding light on this matter on the African continent and excellent reporting by the Swiss investigators.
What do the Swiss and Arabs have in common? Neither give a shit about ethical behavior.
I liked the video, but it was a really hard to watch and well founded.
Good work Simon.
Gold — finger!
Gold and other commodities are very important to maintain freedom from oppressive governments that have powers to close down your bank accounts
Anyone know if Simon is related to the guy who helps Blade?
I'm glad you pointed out the role of transit nations in all of this as they tend to get overlooked. The focus is usually on the source and consumer nations. I come from a transit country (Kenya) that lost 10% of its GDP to one of these rackets in the 1990s trading gold from the DRC in what we call the Goldenberg scandal, Kenya's largest corruption scandal to date that set us back years in economic development. We would never have thought actions in the DRC miles away on the other side of the continent would impact us directly as Kenyans.
The real Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules………..

No wonder China is accumulating huge amounts of gold and other valuable materials. As they have been doing for a long time now.
I have a sickness of the heart only gold can cure – Hernan Cortes
A few years ago I sat next to a man on a train who was on his way home having just landed at Heathrow Airport. He told me he'd just flown in from Dubai, having spent the prior 3 months in Ghana. He explained his friend had some gold mining contacts in Ghana and he'd been asked to pick up the gold and ensure it reached Dubai.
He was telling me how he'd gone to these small villages where everyone wanted to sell him gold. After a couple weeks of securing the gold, he escorted it under armed guard across the country and onto the train, where it was sent to Kenya and shipped to Dubai. He also flew to Dubai and told me how he and his friend met a doctor there, who's side business was laundering gold and he had a whole floor in his office building stacked with vast amounts of gold.
He was old, in his late 60s at least, and said he did it because he didn't have a lot of money and this job gave him more than enough to retire.
I guess if governments wanted something done, they would do something about it. Too many people at the top getting rich……🤷
BTC is definitely worse than the 1001 gold challenges, right?
8:39 Where the hell is “Tanzayinia”?
I don't want to hear anymore about how the US exploits Africa resources & people. It's false.
So it's History repeating itself, but not as we were taught.
The next time you're wondering about the wonderful place that is Switzerland … remember this video.
Its no different than Spain enjoying its own first world economy these days … after they raped central America for 200 years.
Then we hear about the junk society that is India joining in on gold theft … and we shouldnt be surprised.
Slum, scam, colonial $hiTbags, all of them.
why would UAE not be happy? morality comes with money, and that's my friend cold hard truth.
