Of course it can, else the term "criminal" would not have any meaning.
That the market for gold prices currently is being manipulated heavily, because governments and central banks have a high interest in doing so to hide their own desastrous policies, IS criminal behaviour - it borders high treason. The article you referred to (the translation that I linked) , hints at governments and central banks indeed being in deep conspiracy in order to force private gold owner to trade their gold for (taxable) FIAT debts bonds. In Europe they now start to talk about increasing pressure on private savings to be put back on bank accounts - where the state can easier grab its hands for them. I am pretty sure that before my life ends I will have witnessed a new gold prohibition in the EU, like there has been so many in history. I assume it will also come to the US again.
Rest assured, there will be no prohibition on your precious FIAT money banknotes, only a constant devaluing by printing frenzies, and the consequences. They want you to accept them for your gold. Obviously they consider your gold more valuable than their FIAT money.
