Gold Trade Faces Laundering Allegations in NYT Report
A New York Times report alleges that governments and Wall Street benefit from gold linked to criminal activity and child exploitation. The underlying evidence was not accessible for review.

The New York Times alleged in a report published on October 19 that the gold industry obscures the distinction between legally and illegally sourced metal, allowing Wall Street and governments to profit from gold linked to criminals and people who exploit children.
The report’s summary challenges the credibility of the industry’s distinction between “dirty” and “clean” gold. Only that summary was accessible for this account; it identifies no specific firms, governments or transactions and presents no supporting records. The allegations could therefore not be assessed against the underlying evidence.
