gold is faked too

Roughly 15 years ago – during the Clinton Administration [think Robert Rubin, Sir Alan Greenspan and Lawrence Summers] – between 1.3 and 1.5 million 400 oz tungsten blanks were allegedly manufactured by a very high-end, sophisticated refiner in the USA [more than 16 Thousand metric tonnes]. Subsequently, 640,000 of these tungsten blanks received their gold plating and WERE shipped to Ft. Knox and remain there to this day. I know folks who have copies of the original shipping docs with dates and exact weights of “tungsten” bars shipped to Ft. Knox.

Apart from Conspiracy websites I can find little regarding this, It is possible of course, but if the US Government is going to go all that trouble then casting gold over the top of a Tungsten slug would be more fool proof, as the 'gold' would then have the same weight, texture, and pass a x-ray fluorescence scan. A 1/16" layer would be sufficent. Gold plating would not work.
So I am not saying it is not true, merely there is very little,if any proof, just speculation.
