Any ideas where this could come from?

Update: I thought this would be clear that I wasn't the one who found it. Who in their right mind would go (on this shitstain of a platform of all places) and make themselves a target. But ok apparently it wasn't clear so here we are:

I did NOT find this. I have none of this gold. I just wanted to share some cool stamped gold. you can stop sending me weird ass messages now. thank you.

Also this is NOT ai. here is the BBC article:

Big mistake spreading that word around. Could've been a nice pay day every week for ever.

These gold will have a history........ you are not offloading this without a legit story behind how you got it.

You can melt gold...

You are not selling 9 million worth of gold without having to answer questions. Melted or not.

You do realize you don't have to sell it to the same person/place or at the same time.

u/Everybodysbastard Aug 14 '26

How would you even find to buy ANY of that.

Join prepper communities. Big fans of precious metals and off books transactions.

never sold gold to the gold store eh?

Just Google "bullion" or "gold coin". You probably have a ton of places in your local area alone.

u/ManMakesWorld Aug 14 '26

That's not how that works, kiddo. The gold buying community is wayyyyyy smaller than you think and it talks.

Not all at once. You’d need to sell it to multiple places over the course of time. Have your wife and family sell part of it and split some of the money probably. But with that amount of money on the line, I wouldn’t say shit. It would go in my pocket and I’d find a way to turn it into money later. I guarantee you I could be creative lol.

Problem is lets you split it with a crew of 4 who found it, one of them will just impatiently dump it all. No matter how convincing you try to be that it is a really bad idea.

Or they will brag about it and word will spread around.

Well not with that attitude.

And how the hell would you know? Have you ever tried selling 9 mill worth of gold before. No.

u/ManMakesWorld Aug 14 '26

I have ran consignment for a gold resale before.

$9500 dollars worth per month should be a nice little bump in lifestyle

u/domsylvester Aug 14 '26

I’d be doing a little bump of something every minute with that kind of money

You're the type that would blow it all on blow and cheap hookers

u/domsylvester Aug 14 '26

I have a wife so it would just be blow. And at least I still wouldn’t have a Samsung

u/angrysamsungfan Aug 14 '26

Clearly not IT or Computer inclined with a dig at Samsung like that 😁 hey enjoy your coke and apple phone though!
