Op DIE HARD XXV: Gruber's Reserve

 

30-years ago the largest heist ever took place in New York City and the vast majority of the gold was never recovered. 

 

In 1995 a professional group from the former National People’s Army (East German military) robbed the New York Federal Reserve Bank of over $140 Billion in gold.   The US Gov’t and

 

The Fed never let it be known that the robbery took place as it would have caused shock waves across the world and sent the value of the dollar into a downward spiral. 

 

The head of this operation was Simon Gruber, who planned this elaborate multi-tiered heist.  The military timing and misdirection were key elements of the heist and the plan worked to perfection. 

 

As Hans Gruber once said "When you steal $600, you can just disappear. When you steal $600 million, they will find you unless they think you're already dead."

 

Simon being the older brother had to go after an even bigger heist of stealing $140 Billion in gold, but with all his planning he knew he couldn’t just keep it all together and put it in a suitcase back to Europe.  The plan was to stash gold in his own reserves and come back and get it as he needs it.  It also created a great inheritance for his own kids.

 

Simon first deception was the concept of sinking a ship and although most of the cargo was scrap metal there was some gold onboard to keep the Navy and Coast Guard busy.   The next was sending trucks with gold to Canada.  Along the route several of the trucks split off to designated stash spots. The value of gold in 1995 was $380 / troy oz, current price is $3841/oz.  

 

 

For the past 30 years a portion of gold has been hidden not far from NYC.  This one stash is now valued at over $10 billion

 

In recent weeks, Simon’s son Fritz Gruber has put together a crew and is hiring Private Military Contractors (PMC) to go get one of the stashes.  

 

Another group who has been on the lookout for these stashes as well.  A covert US Government “secret army” had much of their funding cut.  They now need to come up with their own off the books funding and this is the perfect source.
