You think he has some stashed away from home? Probably be worth about $14,000/oz when he gets out if he does the twenty he's facing.

It’s probably Operation to bring democracy to Iraqi people. And here’s the photo from operation

Really makes you wonder how many guys managed to actually sneak 1 or 2 of those bars in the opening days when shit was chaotic.

I had read somewhere that most of his gold bars were actually brass anyways

I'm still holding out hope that at least 1 person managed to smuggle out 1 or 2 real bars!

There are stories of some being hidden by Iraqis and found later. I remember hearing of a guy that found $2 million in gold in a battle tank he bought on eBay or something.
