Rick Rule puts the U.S. financial system on trial.
In this unconventional and provocative interview, Rick Rule takes the stand as an “expert witness” in a mock trial examining some of the most controversial questions facing American savers: Is the financial system quietly eroding purchasing power, penalizing savers, and transferring wealth through inflation and taxation?
With decades of experience analyzing banks, corporations, financial institutions, and investment portfolios, Rule brings an unusual perspective to the case:
EXPERT WITNESS — QUALIFICATIONS
• Credit analyst who has reviewed roughly 5,000 financial statements of banks and corporations
• In-depth analysis of 16 major U.S. brokerage and financial-services clearinghouses
• Banking risk expert and co-founder of EverBank and Battle Bank
• Investment analyst who says he has reviewed nearly 100,000 investor portfolios, including those of individuals, foundations, and funds
THE CHARGES — IN THIS MOCK TRIAL
• Conspiracy to defraud through misleading or inadequate inflation statistics
• Theft through monetary expansion and the erosion of savers’ purchasing power, including holders of paper cash, dollar-denominated bank and brokerage deposits, and U.S. Treasuries
• Seizing property without just compensation through the taxation of nominal capital gains, including homes, land, gold, and silver
• The constitutional controversy surrounding the fiat dollar versus gold and silver
• Weakening America’s financial position and potentially aiding foreign adversaries through unsustainable fiscal and monetary policies
Rule challenges viewers to look beyond official statistics and examine what is actually happening to their purchasing power. He explains why he believes inflation can be significantly higher than the numbers many Americans rely on, why capital-gains taxes can capture illusory gains created by currency depreciation, and why he believes savers themselves must take greater responsibility for protecting their wealth.
The discussion also covers gold vs. silver, the risks of the banking system, what happens to gold during a liquidity crisis, and why Rule believes America's greatest financial threats may ultimately come from within.
This is a mock trial—but the questions are very real.
