there is a lot of speculation that the coins were stolen.

Expect them to resurface at some future date in the estates of government "dignitaries".

yeah....will be interesting what the govt does with them...
prolly never hear another word about it...

i would think the proper thing to do would be put them up for public auction ....with the proceeds going back into the US treasury...
maybe put one in a museum if they don't have one already...

Wondering how they got out since they were never released. How did that one for $7 mill not get reposessed by the gubment?

Here is the story. A theft, followed by a "FU", to King Farouk, etc.

I'll side with the wildly speculating Glenn Beck here over the folks who actually heard all the testimony and evidence and applied facts to law. That seems to be the right thing to do always.
