What you’re saying isn’t true, I was up there a few weeks ago and they were super friendly, and let me explore the whole town on my own, except for the building with the main mine shaft and the ones that were active living quarters for people working there.
I also think the video you linked is nonsense and totally unfair. If you look at the history of CG and how big the town used to be, it would have been losing several buildings a year on average consistently for the last century! Losing only one in the last 3 years is incredible luck, and this frames it as fraud with zero evidence.

There is no way anyone will insure a dilapidated ghost town with no running water, and only 4x4 trails straight up a mountain for access. It’s hard to even get fire insurance on a regular house in California if you’re on a hill or far from a fire hydrant. He also probably has no mortgage on this place. That’s why he had to get his wealthy friends to loan him money as “investors.” The whole place cost less than a regular 2 bedroom house in the Bay Area.
