It’s hard to understand the need for the coverup .. wouldn’t they still own the gold anyway?
The evidence he's presenting has some pretty suspicious gaps, the government has clearly redacted a lot of his FOIA requests. They are withholding a bunch of information that would be completely innocuous if they actually didn't find anything, so why be difficult about it?
I once worked in hazardous waste disposal. We would get phone calls from police departments who had seized large amounts of cocaine or meth.
They wanted us to “take it off their hands.” That is, pick it up and dispose of it.
We always said “you need to hand it off the appropriate authority, like the FBI.”
I don’t know if the FBI actually helps in situations like this.
But we sure as heck weren’t going to be driving down the highway with truck full cocaine.
