>> So instead of allowing the disappointing truth to come out, the Bank of England secretly funneled money to hide the gap.

I believe that's what was meant by "fake". In other words, inauthentic.

As far as the transformation from "private institution" to central bank, are you suggesting that this was a form of Open Market Operations?




I took fake to mean that they made up a sale and created money out of nothing (or something).

This isn't what happened. They took money from their reserves and spent it.

Hu? No, the Bank was nationalised. I don't really understand what you mean or are trying to say.
