<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 26519730, member: 19765&quot;]Fascinating story about the S.S. Central America gold recovery and the aftermath, the main scientist Tommy Thompson is still in jail accused of stealing of 500 gold coins, great movie- Cursed Gold: A Shipwreck Scandal!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]NeDNwFDrvug[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, Tommy Thompson, the deep-sea treasure hunter who located the SS <i>Central America</i>, is still in jail today as of November 6, 2025. </p><p>Though a judge ended his civil contempt of court charge in early 2025 (on the grounds that further incarceration was unlikely to compel him to reveal the gold&#039;s location), Thompson must still serve a separate two-year sentence for a related criminal contempt charge (for skipping a court hearing in 2012 and going on the run). </p><p>Thompson has been in federal custody since his arrest in Florida in 2015 for refusing to disclose the whereabouts of 500 missing gold coins, valued at approximately $2.5 million. He also faces millions of dollars in fines. Thompson claims he turned the coins over to a trust in Belize years ago but has provided no evidence, and courts have rejected his claims of memory loss.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
