Sixty-seven 10 oz. gold bars, valued currently at $836,166.70, were found in his possession when he died of a fentanyl overdose on April 21.

Yup! I have never witnessed an armored car in a funeral procession, and likely never will.

Try googling PMs and you are off into a world that has nothing to do gold bars!
