So essentially its a matter of understanding who it is that you're dealing with and making an assessment of whether or not you want to trust them. You also consider what claims they make about guarantees.

With banks at least the funds are FDIC insured, with gold money if something goes wrong, you are shit out of luck... if respected wall street guys can run a 50 Billion ponzi scheme for years, it wouldn't exactly be a shocker if gold money turned out to be running a ponzi scheme or some other scam too...
