Yes, and $20m in Gold is apparently not as voluminous as it is presented in the movies either.
Lots of players involved, so lots of opportunities for blabbing, slip-ups, and it sounds like some were involved in other criminal activity (gun-running), so perhaps under the surveillance of law enforcement already both here and in the US.
Given the Gold was melted down and likely moved offshore, will be interesting to see what the potential recovery is and who in the end has to bear the cost of what these criminals perpetrated.
