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.
Id just like to say thank you, sir, and thats 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.

I guess the “it was a million to one shot” defense didn’t work.

...And the judge presiding over the case was Judge Doody because, of course he was.
The jokes just write themselves.

The butt-smuggled gold reportedly does not smell like mint, however.

Long, long ago, we had a thread about ....
An air passenger who was caught trying to smuggle more than a dozen live hummingbirds inside his pants. Oi!

My gut feeling is more individuals were involved in this, I would be checking those security guards and those responsible in accounting for all the gold.
