It was the mystery of the missing gold - some $15-million worth - and the Mounties were on the case.
They descended on the Royal Canadian Mint, seeking a culprit in the touchy tale of 17,500 ounces somehow vanishing from the Crown corporation that refines the stuff.
Eventually the RCMP rendered its verdict: No heist. In fact, say third-party experts who also snooped around within the Mint's fortified walls, the explanation is more banal, if no less bewildering: accounting errors and processing losses - gold disappearing on the books and in the chlorination baths..... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/missing-gold-never-left-the-mint/article1347654/
I remember hearing about this.... then nothing.
