Polacks find 300 tons of Nazi gold
 

Nazi gold train 'found in Poland' - BBC News


Fuck my life.

The Germans looted European nations in the 20th century and they're doing it today with their banks making usurious loans to European govts. and expecting the European peoples to pay it back. What chutzpah!

Fixed it for you.

Send them to the ovens?

Pretty much how it works all over the world... not specifically Europe....

Are you that naive to believe wars are fought for the principles of men?

now that's not a polack joke!

10 percent cut would be worth over $100 million

according to the other gold thread, these guys are knuckleheads for turning it in to the authorities.

I find this hard to believe - 300 Tons is HUGE. The world only mines around 3000 Tons per annum so that would be like approaching 10% of annual production.

yes, quite a bit over $100m. i'm thinking closer to a $1 billion

I sure hope these guys took at least a couple thousand pounds out first.

awesome, they should give it back to whoever owned it

That sounds easier then done... You were shipping the gold in a rubber boat? Crossing multiple borders and border controles? Inside countries routine police controles?
You were going to knock on doors in London asking who wanted to buy some gold? And none would ask questions? Financial police agencies not going to think it's strange you all of a sudden have a lot of money to spend? And all of a sudden owns land; real estate? etc etc etc etc

I would take the 10% :pimp

but not before this:

building in some security.... in case government thinks that i don't need that 10%

I cannot wait to see what they found.....

Finally!! Someone around here uses mobile friendly fonts.

The other gold thread is for 500 grams, easy to get rid of quietly. Harder to get rid of 300 tons... They did the intelligent thing - They are legally entitled by the law here to 10% of the find, and for $100mil/370mil PLN they are set for life for 3 generations here. They have to pay 19% income tax on it.

If they didn't report it and had suddenly a billion dollars in gold that they couldn't buy anything with because it's untaxed money...

so you're saying the smaller amount is OK to keep because it's easier to hide the illegal transaction.

I thought Polack was a term for Polish emigrants and their descendands, not for Polish people from Poland.

I did rough math for 300 tonnes of gold at today's price per ounce - it's $12.7 BILLION

hah, i lost track counting all the zeros in my mental image and missed one ! $12.5b would be a nice treasure hunter take.

No photographic evidence, I smell BS

yep, im in there with you

They didnt want to disclose anything , till they had their agreement :2 cents::thumbsup

Can't wait to hear what they found.

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall during the conversation those two had after the discovery - trying to figure out their best course of action.

If true, it's gonna be a helluva story. The pics would be amazing.

I think he's saying that it's better to end up with 30 tons worth of LEGAL gold money than with 300 tonnes of illegal gold that you can't do shit with.

Exactly, that 500g of gold if it's worth $20k, you can pretty much go buy yourself a nice new tv, a laptop, and it's all quiet. How are you going to hide $100mil+? Especially if you can't actualy buy anything like property, expensive cars etc? What would you spend it on?

That beign said, they did not find any gold yet - just a train surrounded by landmines apparently.

PICS, yes the pics would be amazing a time warp, if it was left undisturbed for so long:thumbsup

Right now they are in negociations. They contacted a laywer, who sent a letter to the county informing them of the find and sayign they will reveal the location for 10% finders fee. They *HAVE* to give them a 10% finders fee under law, under the condition that the fee is demanded prior to returning the found item(s).

There was another similar situation here a few years ago. My friend's dad sold an old house he had, and the new buyers started doing some renovations there - started demolishing a wall and found tons of stolen art stashed there during ww2. Also were able to keep 10% of the value.

interesting story, curious what they find on board

If you want I'll keep you guys updated, as this is all happening really close to me. Around 30km away, and there is way more details on local new sites

please, seems strange there would be so much gold there at the end of a losing war, but something tells me these guys didn't go to all the time and effort for a guess

There's definately not 300 tons of gold there. That 300 tons of gold is probably part of the "legend". The guys that found it claim that there are "valuable objects, valuable industrial materials, and precious metals". If they want 10% of it, there's gotta be something there.

Here's a shitty google translate with more info

sooo BBS said NAZI gold train huh?
let me help you guys remind WHOS train it was :pimp

According to r other thread, many here called the girl an idiot for turning in stolen gold rather than melting it down in a crude homemade gold smelter to get passed the grinded off serial number.
