I think there might be some entertainment value for us as this unfolds;
Perth Mint scandal (https://www.smh.com.au/national/taxpayers-on-hook-for-perth-mint-scandal-but-state-s-premier-nowhere-to-be-seen-20230307-p5cq5u.html)
Yeah,not surprising thou.,going back to the Micklebergs they said the Perth Mint was corrupt with everyone in authority having their snout in the trough or at best turning a blind eye.
As you say it will be interesting to see where it all leads and who is involved directly.
Yep, some shonky dealings been happening.
Now if they had diluted my silver with gold, I wouldn't complain.
I didn't realise there were such rules around buying gold.
Depends on the quantity you purchase at the time. I think you had to be "identified" if you were buying 10 large initially. It may be as little as 5 k now, which doesn't get you much gold.
Last time I bought gold Ainslie "identified" me even though I was no where near the required limit. Last gold I bought was a while back at $1750 Australian an ounce. Seemed dear at the time.
