The guy who looted the military cemetary in Yellowstone National Park while looking for the Forrest Fenn treasure was sentenced to six months in prison, six months of home detention, two years probations and a fine of $31,566. Got off easy if you ask me. He dug 17 holes and other damage.

I take it he didn’t get anything?

Yes he did, he GOT "six months in prison, six months of home detention, two years probations and a fine of $31,566".:laughing7:
 

I don't buy that he was after the Fenn Treasure, i think it was just the excuse he gave the court. Being he dug 17 holes in that grave yard where US soldiers were buried, i personally think he was attempting grave robbery. Likely looking for military swords, guns, insignia, gold rings etc that were buried with the soldiers. I could well be wrong, but I don't personally buy his Fenn cover story.

Just as i thought, look at how deep these holes are and right on the grave sites themselves. He also would have known digging that deep and under roots that he was into soil that hadn't been disturbed in a 100+ years, not the loose recently disturbed soil of a chest just buried a few years earlier. Plus, he had to have known Fenn likely wouldn't have broken federal law just to bury a treasure right on top of a US soldiers body. Also, had Fenn buried it in a Grave yard, once it was dug up, the digger may have been caught red-handed thereby implicating Fenn of a crime too.

No sir, the Fenn excuse was just his cover story, he was there grave robbing, no doubt about it in my opinion.

Wow what a piece of shxt
 

Fenn didn't say he 'buried' his treasure anyway.
 

Federal Law enforcements were days away from apprehending Fenn on at least fraud charges for killing those 4 dumb people.
His goal was to kill hundreds and continue releasing clues as the body count increased.
 

That IDIOT deserves some jail time. That said, why do looters and habitual drug users walk, as do some DUI killers?

Just think, there's probably a good chance they were a member on this forum!
 

No chance that they were from Connecticut, we do not have any IDOTS here. Just college education folks like myself.
HCC in Bridgeport majoring in Accounting in 1981.
