This has to be some long range government thinking to prevent individuals from profiting from a collapse of the dollar. Why muck up the profits for insiders, like Goldman Sachs, by allowing individuals in the game? It reminds me of FDR's move to confiscate gold held by individuals.

Then FDR instituted a huge government program to prop up the price of gold that resulted in huge profits for Keynes and Baruch.
