Random Conspiracy Theory

Here is a random conspiracy theory(with assistance from "Taking of Pelham 123").

Is it possible that Geithner, Obama, Bernanke, Soros, or various proponents of creating a large deficit, have invested heavily in gold or yuan in the past ten years?

Because with all the printing of money and increased US debt, those two instruments should be skyrocketing shortly. Could someone have instigated the financial crisis as a get-rich-quick scheme? Just a random thought.

My two cents
