What If There’s No Gold in Fort Knox? Real-Life James Bond Plot

What if there were no gold in Fort Knox? A real James Bond plot would come alive. Hear all about it on this Edge of Wonder Live with Ben and Rob.

With government audits taking place, questions no one considered have come to the surface. Could Fort Knox actually be empty? Could there be more gold inside than originally thought? Surprisingly, the last time anyone audited Fort Knox was in 1974, right when the gold standard was eliminated.

Ian Fleming, the creator of the James Bond spy novels, wrote a plot involving high-level people stealing gold out of the vault. Could this really have happened?

With the president of the United States not having access to Fort Knox’s contents, who DOES have access? Who has the clearance to go inside? A small group of politicians and media outlets have been allowed into certain parts of Fort Knox as recently as 2017, but there’s a lot that’s still unknown. Rumors on social media continue to fly about a whistleblower falling to her death and more.

Live Q&A: “If you were a pizza topping, what would you be and why?” “Is it worth it to collect pennies if they will stop being printed?” “Does the ‘mark of the beast’ have to do with money?” “Are there secret tunnels under the vaults at Fort Knox?” “How can the country spend money it doesn’t have? Who is the United States indebted to?” “How do the communism symbol and Saturn symbol relate?” “What does the 666 number of the beast represent?”
