Dent's Run News: Geophysical Survey Released After Lawsuit

[diamonddave]

If the ruling was to deny the plaintiff it would then be the grounds for the plaintiff to keep the story going.

"See the FBI has something to hide if they didn't find anything they would of released the records."
"We won!-Proof that the gold was taken"

Exactly, and this appears to be the crux of the matter.

The Plaintiffs have effectively prevailed through the FOIA and court system to obtain the case records. They just won't stop at that and are insisting the DOJ provide more information, some exempted by law to protect individuals and law enforcement protocols and some that cannot be proven even exists.

The real question should be why were our tax dollars spent following wild stories and how much $ was spent?

Along with why the resistance to transparency?

If the alleged folklore story was to be believed, it would have been stolen US gold bullion. That is a crime, all be it a crime of historic proportion and no doubt of huge monetary and historic value. If you read the investigative files released in conjunction with the case, you will also learn there were other potential improprieties which had occurred more recently and were involving the finders and others. It's my understanding the investigation was to put the matter to rest once and for all and ground-truth the scientific data by excavating.

There never was a resistance to transparency, that was manufactured by Plaintiff. Plaintiff didn't want to par down his request and they estimated 4 years to produce it (ridiculous wait, but not unusual compared to other cases), so he brought suit and they released it all, with the narrow exception of their methods.

If anyone's been "resistant to transparency" it's Plaintiff. There are countless promises of "proof" from Plaintiff that this alleged gold was absconded with but zero of this evidence has ever been made transparent. His own eyewitnesses are more transparent when interviewed, they say exactly what they saw or heard, but you don't hear any of them saying they witnessed anybody absconding with gold.

For those members discounting this story. They sure did spend a lot of resources chasing a “legend”.

It was the only treasure “found” that was never seen.

I didn’t see it and the general public won’t see it either.
