Effectively, the story was trying to say that not only was there little or no US gold at Fort Knox, but the same conclusion might be arrived at with other central banks that had received this fake gold from the US. As proof, the story said that these US government bars had showed up at a (central?) bank in Hong Kong. It was too bad for the story, but there never was any evidence from any source to support the Hong Kong/central bank allegation. As far as I could tell, the Hong Kong thing was all pure and simple unsubstantiated rumor designed to support the 1.3 to 1.5 million bars story.

While there was a gold scam pulled in Ethiopia, it had nothing to do with tungsten. It was gold plated steel and the culprits were caught. Let the buyer beware.

This guy has done a lot of research into the tungsten tales. There is nothing to them. This was "exposed" about two years ago.

Looks like the site I have linked below has photographic evidence of tungsten in gold bars, I am not saying that they have evidence that the said bars are indeed now in Fort Knox (they are saying it), but I do urge you to take a look at their site and see for your-self, if this is true its implications are huge.
You can even follow a link in the article to the bullion dealer ABC Bullion, and yes this can still be a hoax I suppose even the comments section of ABC Bullion can be fabricated towards to such a hoax (but I doubt it), it does how-ever eventually point to an e-mail that was sent out to bullion dealers admittedly I cannot prove that at the moment.
