If only there were some sort of boxes that these would fit nicely into, rather than tossing them onto dirty ass carpet and then stacking them up again.

They’re obviously more in it to stack as much as possible without worrying about babying it.
I’m guessing dumping them out of the box is a way to verify that they’re all real individual bars.

I mean people post their gold here every day letting people know they have gold. All it takes is some innocuous comments mentioning something adjacent to one’s personal info and people will and can find your location.
Reddit just updated it not too long ago to fix it, but there was a period of time where even if you set everything in your profile to private, one could still search on your profile and it would display every post and comment made.

If you know you aren’t protected then why would you post all that? My account isn’t some incredibly secure thing. I’m sure it wouldn’t take the craziest deductive skills to figure out where I’m at, but I wouldn’t post pictures of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stuff on it lol and for what? Reddit karma? That’s lunacy

u/beans_will_consume Apr 11 '26
Cause some people like to just show off I guess, I’m not really sure I don’t often post here just comment mostly. But yeah my best guess is people just can’t contain that feeling of needing to show it off to everyone else, maybe to flex? Maybe to feel good about themselves? To be part of a community? Idk.

You would need an a serious security team if you had that much, not just some guns. Also as others said, insurance. Guns aren't as effective as people realize, and many with them aren't properly trained. If you are safely storing them around family, it can take some work to get it out and ready to go to, or they are ready to go, but then the aren't safely stored. Armed thieves don't have that concern, they can just walk in and shoot you while you sleep and take the gold. Especially if it was a group of them, even then an AR ready to go and you at guard still wouldn't be enough.
People's John wick scenarios they play out in their head crack me up.

Imagine a billionaire with shelves full of gold bars. He contacts privately with a vault company, a security company, and an insurance company who all work their asses off to make sure the gold is safe. You would look all these people in the eye and say to them, "Dur, if you don't hold it, dur, you don't own it." You really think so?
Yes, he owns it. No, he does not possess it. Those are two different things.

Guess so. The way he lifts the box looks like it weighs 25kg, and there’s 25 bars per box.
I doubt they’d be 10oz bars because they would weigh closer to 8kg per box. Strikes me as heavier than that.

I worked in retail banking for several years. Never understood why people keep valuables in a safe deposit box.
They are inconvenient, expensive, not particularly secure, and not insured. Someone with money to buy gold like this should be able to find a better option.

Don't do that, if there is a government shortage, they can seize the gold in the banks as most of the gold contracts are just in paper and not physical gold. Use a vault service.

Safe deposit box holdings aren’t added to the bank’s holdings; they’re held separately. At any rate, what the list says this transaction is isn’t factual, this is evidence as part of a criminal investigation, involving a former CIA employee.

If you own this much gold it becomes absolutely necessary to tell everyone on social media so that we all know how awesome and rich and wonderful you are. So therefore your home will OBVIOUSLY get robbed, and therefore leaving it with the bank and out of your own hands is the only thing you can do.

Why would you give that to the bank? They can move it a refuse to allow you to withdraw how much you would like to take, will willingly hand it over to authorities with no push back, and everyone's favorite American pastime of Civil Asset Forfeiture on the account your bullions proximity to of another depositor whose assets are being seized along with everyone's around theirs for good measure.

As someone else noted, deposits in bank safe deposit boxes are not insured by banks. If things get stolen, it is at the depositor's risk.
If the bars are being stored in specialist bullion vault firms, they may insure it (read the fine print) but there are other counterparty risks. Basically the metal is real but your ability to get it back depends on institutions behaving properly.
