A gold bar gifted to an institution would still count as corruption in most sane jurisdictions. Sure those loopholes exist, but we tend to disguise them as investments or charity.
But it's not a gold bar but a "gold base" which would be technically legal almost everywhere. It shouldn't be but thats how loopholes are.
