According to Warren Buffet, all of the world’s mined gold would only form a 67 sq ft cube.

I think not quite; below link says a cube 22x22x22 m, which is about 67ft. But thats length side. Actual volume is just over 300k cubic feet, or in real units, 10,000 cubic meters.

Or about 4.26 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

I would expect a cube to be measured in cubic feet rather than square feet.

That was exactly what I thought.

Comparison: "I sold my car. I got a good price -- 50kg of money!"

I mean, it may be true but it's an odd way of describing it.

Ah, a true answer to gold theft - esp snatch/grab, but there would be filers galore...
