Wanna Talk About Overstock?
Overstock.com, an online Spend Your Money Here! site, announced that it has some hoarding practices and I’m not talking about towels, plastic containers, or old newspapers.
They have $6 million of gold and $4.3 million of silver stored at a secret location in Utah.
And you thought your roll of pre-1964 quarters hidden in your sock drawer was something special.
“I want a system that can survive a three month freeze,” CEO Patrick Byrne told BuzzFeed News. “If the whole thing collapses I want our system to continue paying people, we want to be able to survive a shutdown of the banking system.”
If there’s a shutdown in the US banking system, I’m betting on which people will get paid. It’s probably not the stock boy.
Byrne said the company maintains a 30 day supply of food, and has a distribution system to pay and feed employees in case the banking and payments systems collapse.
All you have to do is get to Utah and be willing to eat silver on day 31.
