When the Federal Reserve gave JPMorgan (JPM) Chase & Co. approval in 2005 for hands-on involvement in commodity markets, it prohibited the bank from expanding into the storage business because of the risk.
...
Five years later, JPMorgan bought one of the world’s biggest metal warehouse companies.
While the Fed has never explained why it let that happen, the central bank announced July 19 that it’s reviewing a 2003 precedent that let deposit-taking banks trade physical commodities. Reversing that policy would mark the Fed’s biggest ejection of banks from a market since Congress lifted the Depression-era law against them running securities firms in 1999.

You would think they would want to be all up in it...
More so if it actaully invloved a butt load of gold of course.

Yes, in fact I have never NOT seen a police officer at a structural fire.
And one concerning a vault, well, isn't that answer obvious?

I'm sure many of you have paid attention to this but the price of gold per usd had dropped around $500 per oz/ from $1700 an oz/. down to in the past 6 months. It had a $21 spiked increase increase today and i'm sure the fire had something to do with that increase
