He really was sitting on a gold mine.

Leston Lawrence, a Royal Canadian Mint worker convicted of stealing 22 gold “pucks” by smuggling them in his rectum, was sentenced to 30 months in prison Thursday, the Ottawa Citizen reported.

“I’d just like to say thank you, sir, and that’s it,” Lawrence, 35, told Ontario Justice Peter Doody, who also ordered the former mint refinery operator to pay a fine of $145,900. “No further comment.”

Lawrence was convicted in November of stealing the gold pieces, worth more than $127,000, during a three-month period beginning in late 2014 and then reselling them and spending the proceeds. Lawrence, a mint employee for seven years before he was fired in March 2015, was planning a new home in Jamaica and sent roughly $25,000 to a contractor in the Caribbean.

(ps: we hear Bruce...for all his talk...still hasn’t done his Galatians 5:12 surgery yet....wonder what’s ‘holding him up’??)

Sounds like part of one my favorite short movies, “Threat Level Midnight”.
