Joel's last job was with Gold Rush Refiners in Atlanta. How do we know it didn't come from there? There are a number of complaints that I found on-line from people who sold them scrap gold, but the checks bounced. Interestingly, the time of the complaints was just after Joel left (in the April/May timeframe).
Or, Joel can clearly state that today's gold that was sold came from processing mine tailings from the Congress Mine. Or, videos of the Aguila processing facility in operation, that would help establish the source of the gold. Where's the video that was promised almost two weeks ago? Joel is suddenly shy?
