I'm all for it but how do you stop gold being sold? I mean you could probably sell it in asia or africa if the EU forbid it?

I was referring specifically to western financial institutions buying. Really a comment on how hard it is to stop the west from financing Putin. A difficult problem.

Some governments will buy up large amounts but I bet a huge portion of it is privately acquired.
