Falošné zlato v Hongkongu
Z rastúcou cenou zlata sa stále častejšie objavujú správy o predaji falošného zlata. V Hongkongu sa zistilo 200 falošných uncí, avšak odhaduje sa, že na tamojšom trhu ich bude min. 10 krát viac.
Hong Kong goldsmiths have been sold hundreds of ounces of fake gold this year in one of the most sophisticated scams to hit the Chinese territory's gold market in decades.
"It's a very good fake," said Haywood Cheung, president of the Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society, Hong Kong's century-old gold exchange, highlighting how criminals are developing new techniques to commit an age-old fraud.
Mr Cheung said he was aware of at least 200 ounces -- worth $280,000 -- of the fake gold that had been discovered by jewellers and pawn shops. But he estimated that 10 times that amount might have infiltrated the retail market. In comparison, the large gold bars held by central banks weigh 400 ounces and are worth nearly $560,000.
