Background

Fort Knox, officially known as the United States Bullion Depository, is a fortified vault building located in Kentucky that stores a significant portion of U.S. gold reserves - approximately 147 million troy ounces, roughly half of the total U.S. gold reserves. The last public inspection was conducted in 2017, and previous audits have shown no significant discrepancies.

Resolution Criteria

This market will resolve based on the official findings of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) audit of Fort Knox in 2025, if such an audit occurs. If no audit is conducted by DOGE in 2025, the market resolves N/A.

For resolution:

• "Pass audit" means DOGE officially confirms all gold and assets are properly accounted for

• "Fail audit" means DOGE officially reports discrepancies in gold reserves or administrative procedures

• "Completely full" means DOGE confirms 95% or more of maximum storage capacity is utilized

• "Completely empty" means DOGE confirms 5% or less of maximum storage capacity is utilized

• "Something else crazy" means DOGE officially reports finding significant non-gold assets or artifacts not previously disclosed to the public

Considerations

• While there have been various conspiracy theories about Fort Knox's contents, there is no credible evidence suggesting missing gold or unauthorized contents

• The U.S. Treasury and Mint have consistently maintained that the gold reserves are secure and properly accounted for

• The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is a hypothetical agency, and it's unclear whether such an audit would actually take place in 2025

• Administrative audit findings may be separate from physical gold accounting

• Partial audit results or unofficial leaks will not be considered for resolution
