I would assume that he bought the gold with the money he was generating.
And the gold was mentioned in the arrest news conference as well. Well known issue.

haha, well apparently not as well known as youd think. what does a person need gold bricks for.. other than to look at to remind you how filthy rich you are?
You have to ask why gold bricks??

Gold bricks are a great investment.
Also, they are much safer to bury than money, they won't rot away even after 1,000 years.
To this day whenever I hear about those gold bricks, I ask myself why he didn't have them buried.
At least he would have come out of the raid with something.

hmm. good point. i have never had enough money to consider buying gold bullion as an investment, the only gold that comes my way is those stupid sacajawea dollars. although that does sound like a pretty reasonable idea i guess. i like pirates, burying gold would probably be pretty fun. just gotta make sure i don't smoke before and forget where i buried it. maybe thats why he never buried his 
who really owns 3 gold bricks?
if he had 3, I bet he had a lot more. They found 3 bricks.
who keeps all there gold bricks in one spot?
Gold is a great investment. It is easily hidden anywhere.

who doesn't have nazi gold in their attic?
Gold is the only true international currancy, they take gold every where. Gold is also very hard to trace back to the owner or former owner, its posible that RC did alot of business with his seed suppliers with gold as payment.
Alot of international business is done in gold, Arab countries are known for hoarding it, they take the oil out of the ground and turn it into gold.

hmm now I want some gold bricks. I'd build my house out of gold bricks and then paint the gold bricks so people wouldn't know the house is made out of gold and then whenever I need to buy something I can just break off a piece of the house and go to the bank.....
of course I would need like 1 billion dollars first to build the house out of gold bricks.

LOL thanks for the laugh
this is an interesting conversation. where would you buy gold bars and how much do they cost i want one o(^_^)o
Gold usually goes up in value when most currancys are down, reverse when they are up, and this is just a generalization, its a bit more complicated than that.
Look for precious metals dealers in the phone book, a typical gold ignot(large bar) would weigh 12.5 KG and cost around $241,000, a 1KG bar would cost about $19,500.

You can buy .25 Oz bars or coins.
Buy the Bullion Coins and unless you are an INVESTOR or Collector don't buy Investment Grade Coins, like 20 Dollar Gold pieces from the 1920's
investment grade Stamps on the other hand can be Mailed anywhere, any Large City in the World will have Stamp Dealers who will buy them back.. how ever you pay a higher Commission.

Hell yeah, Sinful, stamps can be a great investment, as long as you take proper care of them.
My grandfather spent a small fortune on his collection, which I inherited. I have stamps from almost every country, some dating back over 160 years. A handful of super rare ones too.
Selling stamps is a bit more tricky. Consigning them for auction is the only way I have found to get the true value. Selling them to a dealer usually only gets ya 50-60% of face value.

When the worlds economy's collapse. Gold will be a common place currency. They want you to believe the is is all mined out in lots of places. I know many places in Oregon where hobby miners are making a decent living going through the tailings of old.
