Dig dig dig

AOL believes a renegade Internet spammer buried gold and platinum on his family's property in Massachusetts and wants to bring in bulldozers to search for the treasure and satisfy a $12.8 million judgment it won in federal court.
What are they going to do if they dig up the whole property and find nothing? Are they going to pay to repair the damages or deduct it from the money that the son owes? Couldn't they just use metal detectors? Sounds like a really well thought out plan.

I bet his parents were in on it. I can't imagine that would want "nothing to do" with millions in gold and platinum buried or hidden on their land. Either that or he moved it.

Eh, two or three guys with ground penetrating radar, no digging necessary. They're just posturing... it's pretty intimidating to threaten to show up with a bulldozer and dig up your parent's lawn.

And I don't imagine he could have gotten it too deep with just a shovel

Hey, if it's good enough for the FBI (digging up a horse farm in Michigan looking for Jimmy Hoffa-batting zero, still looking) it's gotta be good enough for AOL.
