That's the kind of bling you'd see in the Kartrashian clan's homes.

Or a Fed Chairman. What else would they use a barbarous relic for, other than to smear it :shock: :roll:

 

[kurtak]

:shock: Well now you certainly won't torch melt that --- & its not going to fit in my big furnace ether (to melt & pour to shot) & it won't fit in any of my reaction vessels ether (probably not even a 55 gallon drum) :lol:

But one thing for sure --- no one is just going to just pick it up & walk out with it :mrgreen:

Edit to add; - wonder how much liability insurance the plumber that installed it had to have before he was hired to do the installation :lol:

It should fit in a 55 gal drum. 8)

My insurance would have covered it when I had my company running. I carried $4M in liability coverage. :mrgreen:

I figured this story should go in a thread with "crappy gold" mentioned in it;

Holy (expensive) crap!

What gets me:
-"an anal cavity"...you mean he has more than one?!?

-"The Crown was unable to prove, irrefutably, that the gold came from inside the mint and the RCM has not reported any missing gold content internally"

So, $180,000 goes missing, and its not reported, so, who is biting that bullet?
The customer most likely?...

Doesn't everybody? You mean you don't??? :shock:

I think what got me was "Each puck weighs about 210 grams". I love gold, but there's not enough Vaseline in the world to be shoving a 7 ounce chunk of it anywhere.

Dave

 

[Topher_osAUrus]

Lol...
Well, he probably ended up with a couple more anal cavities after ramming those big bits of metal where the sun don't shine...

 

[etack]

That's Quite the PAy load :lol: :G 8) :lol: :G :lol: :G :lol: :G

My oldest was making joke about going there with a torch and saying that he's "going to be a while."

I think a knife shaving it will make you a few thousand.

Well, if that same "buttpirate" (...hes taking the loot, and well.. and thats where it goes...) can fit ounces of gold up his posterior... Who knows, maybe a mapp torch up there would keep him loose for game time.. :shock:
..i dont think that guy would even think twice of using a knife...
Too simple, he says. :lol:

Haha 210g of gold wouldn't even touch the sides Dave. Its tiny!

 

[Topher_osAUrus]

Bahahahhah

Wheres the cleantalk when you need it?!?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[UncleBenBen]

Y'all have to keep it in perspective though. Folks smuggle kilos of less dense material for less profit all the time.

I'd learn some muscle control for some ounces of gold any day over that!! :mrgreen:

I think the real thing y'all are missing about the situation is.....who do you trust enough to help get it back out!! :shock:

Better yet, who trusts you enough to help? "I swear there's gold there, just wait!"

That's no problem if you eat plenty of roughage.

 

[Lou]

At least it's biocompatible...and gravity will help it out!


In all honesty, they go through so much gold there at RCM, I'd be shocked if 180K worth of it would be less than the margin of error on their yearly mass balance!
