Clearly you DIDN'T READ the article. They ARE accusing him of hiding the gold. If you actually read the article, it says AOL is digging for gold on the guy's PARENT'S PROPERTY. Parents that he has apperantly not seen in quite some time.

Keh, that'll teach me to skim. It still makes some sense though, if they have reason to suspect it's there.

Posts: 1137/1800		 I'm going to mine ||bass' nose until I find green gold! Why? Because he may or may not be hiding it in there.

(I suspect he eats it)

Posts: 382/594		 All I have to say is. If they dig and there turns out to be no gold, this is going to be a HUGE egg in the face for AOL. Even though this guy is a spammer and a fugitive. Huge huge PR mistake.

Wouldn't YOU?


Well, it is a rather ... "non-conventional" idea, but I guess if the thought crossed my mind I'd just HAVE to do it.

They must have some pretty strong evidence to decide to go and dig there. I mean if they weren't sure, surely they wouldn't be stupid enough to go and dig randomly.

And what the hell is AOL thinking for digging? Pretty soon AOL is going to turn into the next diggers hotline, and if its as bad as their internet service..... Prepare to die if they hit a gas line.

There are laws like this in America, but they don't apply to disclosure of privacy for legal reasons.
That's because there is no constitutional right to privacy no matter how many people seem to think otherwise.

Please read and understand the source material before you go insulting governments, kthx

It doesn't say they were granted permission by the legal system to dig for gold, it says they are asking the legal system for permission. It hasn't been granted yet. You can appeal to the government for whatever the hell you want, but that doesn't mean it will go through.

Posts: 1034/1427		 Aside from the fact that there's no worthwhile evidence that it'd be at their house, it actually kinda makes sense. The guy made tons of money doing something that he then lost a lawsuit over, so the company is... acquiring the assets gained from it. Nevermind that they're doing it with shovels.

And Xkeeper Alexa's little quote IS rather scary... But I suppose it's fair enough warning not to tell people private things over any medium besides the air directly between you.
