It seems the guys at Oak Island could use an air drop of some Russian gold about now. They could "plant" some and then fence some.
Then they could say, "See!? We told you!"

They’ll just land at the next runway, and paint some lead brick gold and no one will know the difference.

OI is a massive let down. I wonder how many more millions they will throw into the money pit. Some already think that some of their finds are planted.

I’ve followed this story and every attempt since I was 10 years old. I was really hopeful that this group finally had it nailed. Guess not.
