There's a difference between the US Treasury and an FBI slush fund. Although one wonders the extent to which the usual difficulties in moving that much gold would or would not apply to the FBI.

I’m pretty sure the FBI knows how to move things around.

I once worked in hazardous waste disposal. We would get phone calls from police departments who had seized large amounts of cocaine or meth.

They wanted us to “take it off their hands.” That is, pick it up and dispose of it.

We always said “you need to hand it off the appropriate authority, like the FBI.”

I don’t know if the FBI actually helps in situations like this.

But we sure as heck weren’t going to be driving down the highway with truck full cocaine.
