If the story is correct, then Thompson is a thief and a swindler. He gets no sympathy from me.

Five years in jail with no trial and contempt of court charge? Seems excessive and unconstitutional to me if that is what is going on here.

Should have said he lost the gold in a boating accident.

I agree.

I agree. We have enough thieving, lying and swindling in the world. Hold them accountable x3 as a deterrent.

I agree.

If he didn’t take investor’s money, and then reneg on his obligations, then that might be different.

For example, if he was getting sued by S.Carolina, or some old shipping corporation for example, claiming that the coins belonged to them, then I could sympathize with him not giving up the coin’s whereabouts. But he took investment money in good faith but refused to deliver on his contract.
