I't look's like the powers that be are watching the only thing that he has left disappear. This does show that it pays to have some gold so other folks will still do deals with you even when U.S is shutting them out of swift!

I really feel sorry for the people of Venezuela and can't stand to hear about hyperinflation! Some day I would like to hear there story's and know if having gold as an individual helped to survive.
