Treasure Hunter Stays 5 Years In Jail Rather Than Reveal Location Of Gold Coins Worth Millions | ZeroHedge

In a bizarre legal saga which sounds like something out of a Hollywood movie script, a former deep-sea treasure hunter has remained in an Ohio jail for a fifth year for contempt of court after refusing to tell the court where a haul of previously sunken and recovered treasure is located that’s said to be worth millions of dollars.

Scientist and deep-water explorer Tommy Thompson is keeping mum as to the precise whereabouts of 500 gold coins that in 1857 went down with a ship called the “S.S. Central America” off the coast of South Carolina.
