    An international scheme involving millions of dollars, fake humanitarian projects, silver coins and suspects still on the run sounds like the plot of a Hollywood movie. But this was all part of a case that was tried in federal court in South Dakota right before Thanksgiving. Video in the link as well, anyone hear about all this Silver??

    Don't compare your silver stack to the one in the photos. Will only lead to insecurity issues.

    Yikes.

    Maybe I didn't read closely enough at the rest of the details, but how will the US jury decision be put into effect in Norway, I wonder? One hopes the Norwegian government and police and Interpol, etc., are on board.

    Looks like that pallet originally held 200 monster boxes, or 100,000 silver eagles.

    I guess they don't like gold, I don't understand that part of the scam at all! Lucky I'm not a criminal as I'd go for the gold! :D

    Looks like only one of the 4 is from Norway & he is hiding, who knows where. The other 3 are US citizens
