Let me try a different way of proving my basic point about Doc Noss & Victorio Peak. Everyone here has probably heard about the "Nigerian Scam". If not, it goes like this: You get an urgent plea email from a guy whose name you can't pronounce in a country you know little about. Problem is, his country is in a LOT of turmoil, but it's your lucky day because he's a wealthy member of a noble family trying to flee to the US. IF you'll just email him your bank account info, he'll deposit $10 Million U.S. dollars into your bank account and upon his arrival here, he'll only withdraw $9 Million out leaving you a cool $1 Million for your troubles!
How about the BEAUTIFUL Russian girl whose just looking for a nice American guy to settle down with. Heard of her? You've exchanged several emails and photos with her and she's decided YOU'RE the guy. She's ready to meet you in person, problem is, a plane ticket from Moscow and a passport costs $1,500. BUT WAIT, she's saved $1,000 already, she just needs you to wire the other $500 to her bank account and she'll fly over to be with you quicker than you can say KGB!
NOW, let's examine Doc Noss's story in the sober light of day: He's found a cave with a HUGE amount of treasure in it. Problem is, he can't get back to it because he tried to open the cave with dynamite and darn it all, he managed to block the entrance instead. IF you'll just give him money for a truck, some equipment etc etc he's sure he can reopen it again and you'll be able to share all that loot! Charlie Ryan DID trust him and did give him money over a number of years from 1937 till 1949. Then he claims Noss came over asking for more and talking all crazy one day saying he'd shoot him if he didn't give it to him. Noss runs out to his truck to get his gun from the glove box, but Ryan is quick on the draw and kills him there before he can get it out. He owed Ryan (among others) money big time, so Ryan had a strong incentive to keep believing him and keep him alive, but he acted in self defense and the jury believed him. In short, Charlie Ryan was the classic "mark" and Doc Noss was the classic "con."
Here's another tid bit for you: "Doc" Noss was no Dr. at all, yet he mananged to practice podiatry without a license in and around New Mexico for years. Another prime example of how old Doc never let the truth get in the way of making money.
It's funny how people will buy into gov't conspiracies without any problem, but they have a difficult time accepting that one person could come up with a whopping lie of a scam to enrich themselves by bilking others!!! As far as I know, Robert Vesco is still alive and running around Cuba though. And Carlo Ponzi is still the classic textbook study of a "Ponzi Scheme."
It's time people put the Victorio Peak story to bed or at least started looking at it in a more realistic light. Noss was a FRAUD! And the only "treasure" that came out of Victorio Peak was from the pockets of people like Charlie Ryan. And into the pockets of guys like F. Lee Bailey....
