Haven't watched the whole video yet, but the editing is sooo interesting. Sort of a modern version of old-school radio storytelling (the way she reads, her tone of voice, the calming graphics, instead of the flashy, fast, dramatic cuts and special effects to gain your attention and overestimulates your brain - used everywhere and by everyone, due to the short attention span everyone is suffering nowadays) + journalism of top tier quality! And not to mention, this is an absolute dream for every online content manager, 'cause it can be reused for podcast, radio, and not just RU-vid, IG/Tiktok, etc. Wow. Just wow.

To anyone confused it's a podcast that has been reformatted for RU-vid. If you prefer you can just listen to this as a podcast but this version takes advantage of being a video by adding content that you don't see in the podcast.

I also knew an Indonesian writer/journalist and later well known as the host of the culinary TV program "Wisata Kuliner" writing on the same topic about Bre-X and de Guzman. The video story reminds me of the works by Bondan a long time ago.

great storytelling but after investing over 30 minutes kinda was hoping to get the whole story. 😢

@jasonheath4266 14 дней назад

In 1996, I could see the giant Bre-X gold sign on their 3 story building from my Calgary apartment. People were still making money off this scam even after it was revealed as such. But then I visited the buzzing Enron trading floor in Houston in 1998. Is it the Canadians?

Yea... actually the dude is still alive, last seen in the Philippines. A lot of people old enough and specializing in mining sector stocks know he's still alive. Apparently a few geologist with a few stock analyst saw him in a dinner and everyone stood up and clapping

Hopefully the podcast version can fill in the spaces. There's no geo lock on that as far as I can tell.

I see from the comments the whole story isn't told here. The video leaves everyone wondering what happened. No thanks, I won't waste my time. I always check the comments before I watch the video, I'm not wasting that kind of time for half a story, and I appreciate the comments giving us a heads up.

@juancana457 11 дней назад

@daveselbow9128 I'd be willing to bet this is a story of fraud. The constantly improving core sample reports brought me to the conclusion of malfeasance. Smarter frauds might've submitted one or more unfavorable reports to lend credulity.

@mortalclown3812 12 дней назад

It's a podcast, minimally repackaged for YT. To those who didn't know about the story, it's the equivalent of reading a long article. Given the true shape of our planet, it's wild to behold stamped feet about the pettiest of things.
