Lottery ticket aspiring billionaires, town cranks, or a mixture of both? Surely, if they had standing for a case, there would be discovery. If not, then the media or them could still crawl all up in govt records with a FOIA. Where is this mythical 7 tons of gold? Why not 2 or 400? There would be lots and lots of records of it if it existed. My thinking is the media knowing full well there is no there there but would rather exploit some wild almost social media-sharable adventure victim outrage story. I hope they got paid for their tall tale.
