This batch of gold was escorted to Japan by General kolchak in 1920. Russian observer Sirotkin said in his four books that the gold was used to buy weapons, but Gorceac never got any military hardware. Sirotkin estimates that gold with interest is now worth as much as $80 billion. He claimed that the gold was still kept in the underground vault of Mitsubishi Bank of Japan.
Sirotkin also said that Japan got 200 tons of gold from Gorceac, and in March 2007, 19 17, it "stole" 5.5 tons from the czar's private vault on the way to Britain.
1994, Russian public documents prove that Gorceac, executed by Bolsheviks in 1920, delivered at least 22 boxes of gold bars to Japan. However, due to the lack of conclusive evidence, Russia failed to solve the czar's gold problem at the diplomatic level. Russian media reported that Tokyo has admitted that $2.7 billion worth of "Tsar Gold" is still in Japan, but Japan has not officially commented on this issue.
