A man who worked on the Canadian mint was sentenced to imprisonment.
For a long time he smuggled gold coins from work - in his rectum. The police found Vaseline and latex gloves in his cabinets.
Leston Lawrence, 35, was guilty of a massive robbery during her employment at the Canadian mint in Ottawa. Now he is convicted of smuggling 22 gold coins worth over one million crowns in his rectum. It reports the Canadian Toronto Star.
It was a bank that alarmed when the 35-year-old tried to switch check he received when he sold large amounts of gold. Then the police watched him and his workplace, finding the petrol and latex gloves that "could have been used to facilitate the insertion of gold items in his rectum", according to the prosecutor.
That way, Lawrence managed to get through the metal detectors of the mining mill.
When the team's long arm came to him, he put on an environmental damage. The heaviest gold coin he had smuggled out weighed 264 grams.
Lawrence's task was to ensure that the gold was clean enough and therefore he had access to melting pot - so he could get the gold in the appropriate format. After the coup he had every reason to wash it, which he tried to do by selling the coin to a mortgage bank.
In total, the gold was worth about $ 130,000 - which 35-year-old spent on, among other things, a boat in Florida and a house in Jamaica.
Leston Lawrence was sentenced to 30 months in prison and will also be required to pay back. And the court has put him in a troubled situation: If he does not pay back within three years after the prison sentence has been served, he may be granted another 30 months.
The 35-year-old handles all media resignation well, says his representative Gary Barnes to the CBC:
I hope I never handled ass gold
Chances are u already have. Assgold accounts for 10% of the already minted gold in use today, according to Better Homes and Garden magazine. I made that up
If better homes and garden even mentions the word "gold" it might be time to sell
Haha I'm gonna resteem this..because I'm Canadian and I'm proud of my country! #goldenbuttholes
Haha, thanks :)
LOL
And they claim you can't polish turds! His were 24k and I bet they needed a good buff up afterwards.
Yes :)
First thing that popped into my head... Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction.
"Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass.... And now little man, I give this watch to you."
Thanks for the post and for triggering the memory of one helluva funny scene from a great movie. #steemsilvergold
You can hide a lot in the ass. Haha :)
When will people learn, at some point you are going to get caught. Whether by pure chance or making a mistake, you will be found out.
Greed is dangerous.
See, people get greedy. He probably would've been fine taking like 3. Had to put 22 up his ass. He probably liked how it felt.
Probably :) Greed is a death sin.
Haha my permaculture teacher always told me that poo was worth its weight in gold, and now I know what he meant :)
Thanks for sharing
Haha :)
EEEEEKKKK and EEEEEWWWW ! Disgusting !
I remember reading this article a few months back, wonder if it's the same one, or maybe it's just what you do when you work at the mint. They are going to need to develop a whole new screening process.
PS love the photo of the golden turds, no idea where you found them.
Yes, it's a few months old but very funny :)
Oh my, what a crappy way to go! I'm laughing so hard at this story and trying to imagine the dimensions of the largest coin he keistered! Haha what a crazy world we live in
