This Canadian Mint employee was literally a gold digger,though he wasn't excavating the gold from the earth. The 35 year old man smuggled 18 gold pucks weighing around 1/2 pound each in his rectum to bypass security. He then sold them to Ottawa Gold Buyers for a total of $6,800 each between November 2014 to March 2015 for a grand total of $179,015. He was caught when the bank he was depositing the checks in grew suspicious leading to the discovery of 4 gold pucks in his safety deposit box. It's crimes like these that really make a person wonder why a thief can't seem to resist the siren call of stealing when he was working a good paying job with benefits and a high rating of job satisfaction. Oh well,I guess he will have the rest of his life to figure out the answer to that question.
