The FBI has arrested 3 suspects accused of an elaborate gold bar scheme robbing the elderly in Missouri and Quincy, Illinois was one of the pickup locations.
The state of Missouri really did pass a bill today that would hypothetically allow you buy stuff with silver and gold, but even the state doesn't quite understand exactly how that will work once/if it becomes a final law.
If you love Missouri and wild west history, you will likely enjoy this. There's a new look inside the Missouri cave where Jesse James and his brother Frank and other members of the James Gang hid a quarter million dollars in gold and then escaped and many of their original belongings remain.
The FBI has issued warnings that this scam was becoming more prevalent and now there are multiple cases in Illinois where gold bar schemes have cost victims millions in precious metals and cash.
Do villains ever sleep? That seems hard to believe as there's a new gold scam in Missouri that's been revealed as a sting operation by the FBI revealed.
I am not what most would consider an investor, so perhaps I'm not the appropriate messenger or questioner about why Missouri residents are suddenly buying up gold bars like they're going out of style.
