'Even if I don't get any of the gold back I will still have my beautiful tank,' he said.

....through gritted teeth and a tear in his eye.

People who say keep it... what would you do with it? How would you monetize it? It's not as if you can just turn up to the bank and say, can I have £2m please. I'm not suggesting you're wrong, genuinely curious.

I would put it in my living room and make a throne out of it.

Aren't Bullion bars marked with a serial number to authenticate them?

Not if you melt them down

Acetylene torch?

Was his friend not a mechanic.

I'd melt them down into smaller bars and sell them online over the course of a few years.

As unmarked gold bars?

Can you do that??

Surely that would arouse suspicion? IF not, then seems like a good way to do it.

Would you sell it at the gold trading price or below?

You can sell them to jewelers, precious metal dealers or if you make them small enough just go round cash for gold places until its all gone.

Travel to the Klondike and sell them to the gold miners for a little under the full value so it gives them some meat on the bone. They'll do the dirty work and melt it down at the local gold exchange

Buy a gold mining claim/licence and then move out there and slowly cash it all in?

break it up into small chunks, bury it and "dig it up"

Basically. Its not like you arent getting paid to do it?????

Just melt it into the ground and it will look like a naturally occurring gold nugget anyway

Not sure, but even if you couldn't I suppose you could sell them on one of these Silk Road type websites for bitcoins.

I'd probably sell below as it'll be a lot quicker.

Cash Converters. Job done.

Seriously, I wouldn't have kept it. I'd have been too busy heh 'bricking' myself at the thought of some radical branch of the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard come storming my house, or some cadre of dishonourably discharged US Marines, fresh out of military prison, looking for their score from the war*

*I may watch too much rubbish telly

Yeah I can't imagine if you're trying to shift 2 million in dodgy gold you're too worried about getting dead on market price.

Slightly OT but was watching this video recently about extracting gold from PC components, at the end you see how he melts the gold, very small amounts though, not sure how it would apply to a bullion bar, may need a furnace of sorts,

Would you or wouldn't you??? (keep the gold, because this thread title is garbage)

Yes - Finders keepers

No - Losers weepers

Ban!
