What if America’s greatest financial symbol is built on a lie?

In The Great American Gold Hoax, author Sean Rust peels back the layers of myth, secrecy, and propaganda surrounding the most fortified—and most mysterious—vault in the United States: Fort Knox. For decades, Americans have been told that behind those thick granite walls lies over 147 million ounces of gold. But no independent audit has ever been conducted. No full inventory released. And the last official glimpse inside was over 50 years ago.

From cryptic government statements and Cold War-era transfers to speculative foreign gold repatriations and 21st-century political theatrics, this gripping investigation follows a trail of silence that spans generations. Featuring explosive quotes, declassified evidence, and a deep dive into economic power, this book doesn’t just ask if the gold is gone—it asks what happens if we find out it is.

Along the way, you'll uncover:

• Why the last inspection in 1974 raised more questions than answers
• The growing list of foreign powers quietly pulling their gold from U.S. custody
• How modern digital finance and blockchain transparency are challenging Fort Knox’s mythology
• New calls in the 2020s—by figures like Rand Paul and even Donald Trump—for a real audit

Part history, part financial thriller, The Great American Gold Hoax is a nail-biting, eye-opening journey into the heart of one of America’s most enduring—and disturbing—mysteries.

You’ve heard of Fort Knox. Now discover why they never want you to see what’s inside.
