Payment against AWB.
Would you consider releasing money against an Air Way Bill? I would not. An AWB is a transfer of ownership of the goods sent.
It is easy to understand that paying some million USD for an AWB is not the smartest. Only the sender will know what it is inside the package. In worst cases it will just be an expensive way to buy sand or dirt.
The seller bank will not examine what is inside the package. Neither will the transporter. If they would they would also not be able to confirm that it is gold.
So the only one taking the risk is you. It will end up with some kilos of dirt, very expensive dirt.
