How do you transport 25 tons of gold across land and sea?

My guess is air freight is the safest method, does it matter if it goes on a DHL 777 or a Commercial 777? Either way, the plane could be hijacked.

But I suspect you'd have somebody with an insurance claim for $1 billion in gold, and an insurance company going bankrupt as a result.

Yes, but Malaysia PM said there's only mangosteens in the cargo.

Tomorrow's headline: no mangosteens in cargo.

[jdimov]

And then we'll have conspiracy theories about what happened to the mangosteens en-route.

You'd probably charter a cargo airliner with armed security. And send maybe less than 25 tons of gold per flight.

Insurance companies have insurance as well. It's a long chain of interlinked companies.
