⏳ Why it happened As Venezuela’s economy spiraled into crisis, foreign reserves dried up and access to capital vanished. Gold — traditionally a nation’s financial safety net — was liquidated to secure desperately needed hard currency.
🛑 What stopped it In 2017, sanctions imposed by the European Union were mirrored by Switzerland, abruptly cutting off the gold supply chain.
❗ Why this matters This wasn’t ordinary trade activity. It was the sell-off of strategic national reserves during a humanitarian and economic collapse.
Critical questions remain unanswered:
Who ultimately benefited?
Where did the proceeds go?
Why were national assets drained while citizens faced shortages and hyperinflation?

This story goes beyond gold.
It’s about economic desperation, political power, and capital moving quietly through global financial channels.
