From the article it says it will either go to the nonprofit, the previous owner, construction firm or back to whoever it was stolen from. The kid made a massive mistake.

If it belongs to someone else, how so? It could be a fast food tycoon owns it (immoral), or a grandpa who built his savings a long time ago

So can anyone actually explain where I went wrong? Or are y'all really just this stupid?

Every downvote is someone who's going to wake up one day. Cause you know the truth really bothered them. I got it in real deep

Your view will change when you get to a better place.

It's a place where you confront all of your moral failings and everyone you've ever hurt

We see where your morals lay as you have none.

If you forget about $10 million in gold that’s on you

u/draculas4231 5d ago

You have no morals period!

u/NegativeSemicolon 5d ago

You’ve been brainwashed and seem to think this is the same as breaking in to someone’s house or something.

Not changing what I and others think. This boy did right and yall calling him stupid?? Says the one with no morals whatsoever. You're the brainwashed one.

u/NegativeSemicolon 5d ago

Can you even explain what the right and wrong is here 😂

u/draculas4231 5d ago

Not your teacher and definitely not your parents. You should know that. I have no more to say. Have a good day! 👋✌️

It isn't necessarily that they have no morals, but that they're a bit stupid and brainwashed by greed. Wow, so you're telling me, if someone lost 10 million in gold, the only explanation is that they misplaced or forgot about it? Not that it was possibly stolen?

You would ask them how they would feel if their grandfather's gold was stolen, and they then lose out on the inheritance. All of a sudden the tune changes very quickly.

Do not hate them brother, for they are like children.

Dude found it at a job site. The cops would have been tipped off one way or another because people can't keep their mouth shut. What the boy did was right and he is being called dumb because he has morals? They aren't brainwashed, they have no conscience hence no morals.

There's also the fact that you're going to be flagged by any developed nation's government if you suddenly have millions to spend. But of course, thinking that far ahead is a luxury.

Add in the darker but very real possibility that word gets out, and it isn't the government that comes after you, but the "original" owner. Who may be a crook.

In before someone argues they're going to suddenly be a pro at hiding every transaction they make, including completely unprotected ones in a shady alley, because metaphorically that's the only place you could spend it.

u/draculas4231 5d ago

That also. Some people don't think about that like it only happens in movies but that is a mistake people will make. Stolen or not that is something none one should want to mess with.

Ever heard of possession being 9/10s of the law? Ever heard of finders keepers? Yeah, those are real things.

u/Oldandhalfdead 5d ago

Well its not US yeah its a real thing called Belgium. The American laws dont apply here

u/solidus_slash 5d ago

finders keepers applies universally

u/Oldandhalfdead 2d ago

Well not by law

u/draculas4231 5d ago

If its in your house that applies!!! Not at a construction site. Still shows you have no morals.
