To me it looks like he was the right person at the right place and the right time, and he grabbed the opportunity. Seemed better than continuing as an AC employee?
Will regard to gold being heavy, I think you mean dense. $20 million in gold at today's spot price is roughly 522 lbs so really not that difficult to move and transport.
