• The "Czar’s" Secret Gold in New York

  This theory claimed that Romanov or imperial Russian gold was secretly transferred to New York and effectively absorbed or stolen by the Federal Reserve after the Russian Revolution. It drew on three real facts: the Russian Empire held one of the world’s largest gold reserves before 1917, substantial portions of that reserve were moved abroad during the First World War to support war credits, and New York later became one of the world’s major centers for central-bank gold custody. In conspiracy form, those facts were compressed into a single tale of Romanov wealth disappearing into the Fed.
