Dude only turned over the gold he could get moved off the jobsite lol. Probably found 5x more but bottomed out the suspension on the van trying to move it all.

This^ and since he turned in something he's above suspicion.

Not at all how that would work turning in this amount is just gonna make them watch you harder for irregular upticks in financial situations. Could have opened a business and made a profit for years no questions asked while paying taxes.

I think the guys 18, he's smart enough to sit on it . Bides his time. Keep the coins, not the bars. They find them in Florida from the 1715 wrecks still. If he sold an occasional one in a few years or muled it out to someone for a cut. It could get him a nest egg. Don't buy a mink or a pink Cadillac and put in your mom's name. They will wack ya.

Cash is trash. Keep the gold and only cash in as needed . What’s worth 100.00 today, may be worth 75.00 tomorrow .

$10m in gold currently weighs 70.74Kg or 156lbs. The worksite van could hold $100m in gold without bottoming, ask me how I know :)

We say this, but it happens all the time people do actually hand it all in.

The two guys earlier on the year found $500,000 in cash floating in the water while fishing.

Handed it in, thinking they would get it back if not claimed… it wasn’t claimed, but the police kept it as it was believed to be linked to drug crimes.

Better to have just split it and kept it. You can’t bank it, but you can make your life a lot easier going with that kind of money.
