Someone bought $250,000 worth of gold bars with a fraudulently obtained bank draft (yikes!). Based on the news story description they are branded "...JM and are about 7.5 cm wide, 11 cm long and about 5 mm thick. They have the serial numbers G269305, G269306, G269307, G269308, G269309 and G269310." Apparently, this crook went back to the same bank the next day and got another $262,000 bank draft, though failed to get more gold and cash in Edmonton.

hhbkiddo Pillar of the Community Canada 1248 Posts	Posted 07/06/2009 11:40 pm does anyone really think these serial numbers are still there? gold is melted and sold in pieces or as long tome collected old gold and melted all together. there is not a single metal refiner that would not buy it..in any state. A acetylene (?) blow torch will do it to melt it together.. No melting kiln needed... Report this Post to the Staff
