DW NOTE
Venezuela surrendered its last liquid reserve to unlock $4 billion it cannot withdraw from London. The gold isn't moving because Caracas suddenly trusts New York — it's moving because the Bank of England froze the stock years ago and Washington cut a deal. Interim governments don't negotiate asset transfers; they accept whatever terms let them access cash before the next government forms.
