Pre nuke there's almost no need whatsoever to shift the gold. Why take it out of the most secure facility on the face of the planet? Where exactly
could you take it without months, even years of preparation?
Between the nukes in November 1997 and the collapse of the pre-war government mid 1998, there's no chance of anything more than a couple of bars being moved - the resources are all tied up coping with the aftermath of being nuked.
Once the government fell apart, there's simply no resources left, not to mention the chaos just keeps getting worse and worse.
