A scam on an epic scale is revealed - The Six Billion Dollar Gold Scam, Ep 6, BBC World Service

[@isatousarr7044]

Unbelievable! The scale of this scam is staggering. It's a stark reminder of the need for rigorous oversight and transparency in financial markets. Let's hope justice prevails for those affected.

[@viennois0123]

Well done. BBC.

I drywalled the mansion of a guy that got rich from bre-ex... I've always wondered if he got his money out in time, or if he lost the mansion.... ..the master bedroom ceiling had dozens of angles in it, took us a couple days just to figure it out...

[@gullybull5568]

I bet you lowballed the mudder and he was some easterner who came west.

[@JeTTRod]

@gullybull5568 .. we didn't deal with the tapers at all, they got hired by the builder directly, same as us, but either way they likely got screwed over anyway, cuz of things like the spiral stairway from basement to the 3rd floor, which had layered 4'x8'x 1/4" drywall standing up, with an average of 64 screws in each 4'x8' sheet from trying to get it to form to the studs and slightly resemble the curve that was supposed to be the final result of the walls shape... combined with the airplane ceiling, the taper shoulda just moved his furniture in for a few weeks while he worked... ..he had my sympathies...

[@SciFiStory]

I met someone nearly matching his description a year after, he was a bit skinny, looked older. He said that he was sure of getting away, since people failed to recognize him after his surgery, which was done at the same hospital which diagnosed his hep.

The old salted gold mine scam.....sad

[@foxgom]

Two inch thick report? What is an inch? Note that Imperial units have not been taught at UK schools for fifty years. If listeners are to understand sizes, it would seem appropriate to use units they have been taught.

YT should revise the way the algorithm interrupts speech or dialogue!

[@shikeridoo]

just pay the $15 bucks to be ad free. it'll save you some time each month. is that time and annoyance worth $15 to you? you can also cheat the system by signing up "from india" or another cheap location i heard.

[@beverlyhills7883]

Never invest in juniors mining in third world countries. Never.

[@gregh9762]

Bre-X was a canadian company, they were prospector not a mining company. And the reason it blew up because Freeport was involved (or about to operate) in busang site, they are the actual mining company, a giant one at that that still is operating west of this forsaken 3rd world country. The nonexistent gold deposit and crazy market exist today in form of start-ups, crypto, nft and whatever comes next as greed meets opportunity

[@gullybull5568]

Its easy for these scammers in Calgary . Lets short the stock AFTER they BUILT it up. BAIT AND SWITCH.

[@boatingmanchester]

I am confident the UK tv License payer would prefer you explained why Gordon Brown sold all the UK gold at half price ?

[@simonrowe3124]

We know why Brown sold the gold… America told him to. Why? To tie us into the Dollar and US Treasury debt. And now when the majority of Central Banks are buying up the worlds reserve gold, a tier one asset according to the BIS, we should be buying as well, instead of investing in the war mongering industry.

[@wld-ph]

The BBC aren´t even interested in covering that 2016-2018 English Independence Party was unlawfully de-registered, by corrupt UK Electoral Commission. How do you fiddle elections in a banana-republic, ban them for no good reason...

[@None-zc5vg]

Gordon: "he's the Man, the man with the Minus touch!! 🎵" ( =One-over-Goldfinger)

[@gullybull5568]

To the jews.

[@ronmckee8132]

The gentleman's that I worked for at the time did daily trades Bre-X was one of their investments ( not a big one ) claimed that on the TSE until it was $0.02 and $0.01 back & forth even $0.03 and just disappeared

[@SoniaBooqua]

Interesting.

[@CoolHand273]

Canada must not have any insider trading laws. These guys just confessed to serious crimes. Statute of limitations must have expired a long time ago.

[@Tharayfoster]

It’s just a big financial scam

[@mikafiltenborg7572]

Scam, scam, scam 😂😂😂

[@richardtjan4757]

Just like the Dutch tulip mania?

[@dannydetonator]

What's wrong with the Dutch tulips? Were they salted too?

[@cattymajiv]

Not the tiniest similarity between the 2.

Hepatitis B is not deadly but may evolve into cancer?

[@cattymajiv]

Even back then it was not a thing that anyone would commit suicide over!

[@jenniferg6818]

I doubt there was a hep b test.

[@MarceloVolcato]

People are crazy to buy stock anyone could see would soon be worth nothing.

[@trilithon108]

The last question,"Did De Guzman do this by himself, or were other larger forces involved?" Perhaps why he lost his life? If other larger forces wanted him dead, he had to go. Or maybe he just did himself in? 🎉

[@Heyu7her3]

Sometimes better to take things into your own hands vs allowing/ waiting for someone else to do it, esp if it's inevitable

[@dannydetonator]

Suicide notes are fairly hard to forge, especially 5 pages long, especially if it still fools all the family and friends. The only reasonable question after no evidence of contrary is found would be who or what lead to it, same as in Boeing ex-employee whistleblower case.

[@dennykeaton9701]

Never invest more than a tiny amount in junior miners

[@creatura_orbis_centuria]

Ahhhh. Delted

[@cattymajiv]

Never invest in any mining.

[@theprince1795]

knowing nothing out Bre-X than what was in this story i think the possible involvement of Indonesian Government/Intelligence having a role in the death isnt explored enough given the amount of interest the ruling family - and the conflict it caused within the family - had in the company

[@fredengels8188]

the warnings are unnecessary

[@davidoleary764]

To you.

[@user-rh6ru5oz2o]

Did the warnings to friends and family count as insider training?

[@fredengels8188]

trade

[@vaddeboinasuvardhanreddy6900]

He is not an employee of the company so It is not insider trading.

[@fredengels8188]

is guzdude alive?

[@grassguy7771]

Yes with Epstein

[@cattymajiv]

Why do people ask these dumb questions? Listen to the podcast. The answer to that question is 2 minutes in, or less.

[@JoziAuen]

😲

[@todayontheinternet7790]

why does she talk so slow?

[@gullybull5568]

Shes a woman ! Hahah. Not.

[@JS-jh4cy]

Another brex gold crapper

[@CosmosNut]

jennifer should stick to reporting stolen beer at the local fast food... doesn't help this doc at all. Also too many pregnant pauses, milking for time?

[@dannydetonator]

I liked her job. But it's not her's to edit audio.

This is the classic jewish strategy to defraud canadians

[@servant52]

Vulgar and disrespectful language using God's name should be bleeped.

[@creatura_orbis_centuria]

Ahhh my comment was deleted. My irrelevant response makes no sense.

[@fredengels8188]

the warnings are unnecessary
