Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Ted Butler, who often comments on the precious metals
markets, has posted an important essay at www.Gold- [1]

some major gold mining companies have been swindled by
their bankers and that the shareholders of these companies
essentially have been expropriated. It's must reading and
confirms GATA's analysis. You can find it at:
