$500 Million of Copper 'Goes Missing' in China

>A group of Chinese companies are investigating why a commodities storage site in northern China is holding only one third of the copper concentrate they were financing-

>The group has a total claim on 300,000 tons of concentrate worth about 5 billion yuan ($740 million), but there’s only 100,000 tons at the depot, the people said. That puts the dollar value of the missing material at about $490 million.

Where did it all go?

Sold to ruskers, probably.

classic chinese business tactic

crazy that people still do business with the chinese when scams like this happen 10x more often than anywhere else

That’s 14,300 truckloads… someone would of noticed the trucks if it was stolen

these are the people were supposed to be afraid of?

2000 train loads at 100tons per train

No...that copper newer exists anywhere else than on paper. You can sell copper option to future but you have deliver real thing at some point.

Idea simple this

I sell you 1 million units of copper at price x and promise deliver them after 6 months..so I have to mine them or buy somewhere else cheaper than I sold them. Otherwise I am fucked.

So they are now fucked.

It was to repay the goddess Diana $500 trillion in silver, no doubt.

293,933 rickshaw loads to move 200,000 tons
