VENEZUELA'S $4B GOLD FROZEN IN LONDON The Facts: ▶️ 31 tonnes at the Bank of England ▶️ Worth ~$4B to $4.4B ▶️ Frozen since 2018 ▶️ Agreement signed August 12, 2026 Venezuela's government and opposition agreed to jointly pursue recovery, with audit rules attached. Funds are meant for post-earthquake rebuilding. The Correction: The "US takes control" claim comes from one delegate's TV interview, not the signed text. No release approved. Gold is still in London. A central bank lost access to its own metal for eight years because a foreign custodian disagreed about its government. Ownership and control are not the same thing.
