It appears to be just another one of these fluff pieces gold bugs keep on sharing. Full of allegations and semi-truths in order to suggest that gold is all that matters. > It consisted in the promise that in exchange for getting those 300 tons, they would leave four times as much in New York and stop forever fussing about it. This is my reading anyway, based on what I understand is usual diplomatic custom and lingo in such affairs. No factual evidence is provided to back up those claims. And other news outlets about the same event (eg. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/09/business/germany-gold-reserves-bundesbank.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/09/business/germany-gold-res... ) don't feature any similar interpretations.
