Gold smugglers caught with gold in their butts

logger7

You heard it right. On January 10, Gyeonggi Province police arrested three Korean men for trying to smuggle in solid gold bars hidden in their behinds from China.
Police officials arrested Mr. Jung and two others for violation of custom laws. According to police personnel, the smuggling operation ran from last September to January 4 of this year. Mr. Jung was ordered by Mr. Park to smuggle numerous 200gram gold bars worth a total of $8.4 million USD. During the past 4 months, the men attempted to smuggle in a total of 1,969 gold bars. https://www.marketslant.com/articles/gold-smugglers-caught-84-million-behind-them

The shape of some of those shipwreck ingots makes a bit more sense...

Diarrhea will do that to you.

I've sh*t a brick before, but it wasn't made of gold.

Amazing... I wonder if it was the metal detector that alerted them. I like how it says they 'caught wind of the operation'... Cheers, RickO

Wonder what tipped them off, the metal detector?

Mmm. The smell of money.

That's one way to "get behind" the gold market.

tneig

Well, I'll tell you I'd like to get a couple of those. Wonder if some mint will make some up!

Butt, until then, you know where my Krugerands are.

ricko

A further thought... did they feed them Ex-Lax to be sure they got all the gold??? Inquiring minds want to know... Cheers, RickO

...pulling money out of their as...

ricko

I was just trying to imagine the retrieval process..... Poop in a bucket then hose it out?? Did someone at the shipment end count the bars and communicate that ahead to the receiver? What if one of the couriers had gas during the trip? So many questions..... Cheers, RickO

I was told that 100 gram bars were the best way to buy gold, had a few of those, but flat like candy bars, bought from American Metals in OR.

This also brings interesting images to mind when one considers the term 'Golden Goose'..... Cheers, RickO

The "sniffer"....

ricko

Unloading the gold lumps must have sounded like a machine gun when they hit the pail/pot..... Cheers, RickO

Gives a hole new meaning to sittin on a gold mine.
