[CatchOmega]

Having a solid gold eagle just screams bad idea. Gold plate that shit and nobody will know.

Sounds like insurance fraud

The story sounds a bit sketchy to me too. just melted down the guy is looking at 350k in gold from any pawn shop in the world. The diamonds are to small to track so the only thing he can't sell would be the emerald.

Plus what kind of insurance company will turn down a claim for a cancer research charity. Not only that but it looks like its the actual Art! festival that had to insure the piece and not this guys foundation.

Why the fuck was he wandering around by himself with that shit at night?

This is why I never take my gold eagle out in public anymore.

I saw the thread title and thought how many bullion must be stolen to net 7m.

Read the article and I came to post this. 18lb of gold is only 350k as you mentioned. The 6.8m price tag is massively overpriced. It's not even a special design of sorts by famous craft or whatever. This is an inside job to scam like others itt have mentioned.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis been talking about that gold eagle for years. They did it.

 

[Gandzooka]

Calling it insurance fraud.

Damn that thing is ugly. They probably stole it, melted it, and now the value of it has gone up.

If it were my eagle, I would run my don't all over it that way whoever stole it....it's like they touched my dong. They would be embarassed and give it back.

The thief just burgled.

 

[jmadtx]

that thing looks like shit anyways.

Someone get Humphrey
Bogart on the line.







....NOW

I think I recorded that on the DVR a couple weeks ago, should watch it again
