No. It was a DoD or some fed building, so actual government but yeah I assume the same thing that whoever next got custody of the box was like lol whoops i misplaced it - 50 lbs of gold was like 800k last i checked.

i'd say given that two people knew about it from the start, turning it in was probably the better move

This was $100 in 2005 so it was about $15,000 when adjusted for inflation.

Your dad would have for sure gone to jail and wouldn’t have got to keep the gold. Even treasure hunters who find gold at the bottom of the ocean get sued by various countries to take the gold from them.

It's ok you and your father can rest easy knowing that while that amount of money would have changed your family's lives most likely for the better, he took the high road, and you all will still end up wormsfood in the end regardless with the world taking nary a consideration.

My deceased father told me a similar story about finding a floating package in the ocean, which must have either been a brick of weed or cocaine, and leaving it, but frankly that is much harder to convert to a much smaller amount of cash.

Wormsfood!

The fool. That was clearly a camera roll from an old style spy satellite. He could have ransomed off the photographs to any embassy in the world and have been a rich man
