" Corruption in China is a widespread problem. Video shows part of the search of the mansion of a Chinese official, Zhang Qi (a politician who spent most of his career in Hainan Province in southern China).

Employees of the National Supervisory Commission (China's anti-corruption agency) did a search In Comrade Zhang's home and discovered 13 tons (thirteen tons) of gold In the secret cellar of his home, in the form of bullion. This, by the way, is more than the total gold reserves of Lithuania, Latvia and Iceland combined.

According to unofficial reports, The authorities also seized a huge amount of cash in various currencies (dollars, euros and yuan), totaling 268 billion yuan, or 34 billion euros.
According to Chinese law on corruption, the official will be executed. "

I know we all want "just a bit more", but why didn't they call it a day long ago.

What could the family do with it all. That'll more than see them, the kids and grandkids out!

I'd of thought that £1b is enough to secure intergenerational wealth, indefinitely. £30b is insane. Must make for interesting swings in value, when gold moves $2/oz!

I find it impossible for one individual to have stolen/embezzled such amounts. He must have been a part (like the keeper or cashier) of a much larger scheme and may be the only one to pay for it in the end. 😟

No way one man - in China - one of (if not the) most brutal Communist dictatorships ever known - was able to horde all that wealth without the Chinese Communist state not knowing about it.

Or in other words "Dead men can't talk".

What's the real story here.....?

There was Trillions of dollars worth of gold and silver recovered from the Philippines that Japanese General Yamashita hid all over the place in booby trapped mines they had dug, Marcos was trying to sneak it out of the country and refine it into different bars as most of it was stolen from the Chinese by the Japanese before and during WW2 and was scared of Communist Chinese retribution, wonder if some of it was some of that.

Not sure i believe the numbers at all, didnt look like 13 tons of gold (376k toz) and €35billion would be over 2.5% of all notes in circulation.

A sycee (/ˈsaɪsiː, saɪˈsiː/; from Cantonese 細絲, sai-sì, lit . "fine silk") or yuanbao (Chinese: t 元寶, s 元宝, p yuánbǎo, lit . "coin pouch") was a type of gold and silver ingot currency used in imperial China from its founding under the Qin dynasty until the fall of the Qing in the 20th century.

Numbers in news articles are more of symbolic character than an accurate description of the events. 

13 has a high significance in western cultures while 2,6,8 are lucky numbers in eastern cultures

I wonder what our beloved Red Comrades of the Walking Brain Dead, like Abacus Abbott & Cobyn has in their Islington basement's

Emergancy Tofu, Lentils & Mungbeans ?
