Could gold prices be manipulated downward so that U.S. government and bankers can buy gold mines on the cheap after going bankrupt?

If you are a true believer in conspiracy theories ... anything is possible ...

Gold bugs are still hanging on to this theory to explain the 3-year down trend in gold, huh?

How about you keep an eye out and let us know if "U.S. government and bankers" buy Atna? Thanks.

Yeah, vast conspiracy by a government that I bet you also feel is completely incompetent. How do you reconcile those conflicting views?
BTW, a large number of gold mines in the US are on government land. No need for this crazy talk, if they really wanted to be in the gold mining business they would just revoke or not renew the leases/claims. Get a grip man!
