The FBI Files: Dents Run Civil War Gold

[Tom_in_CA]

GoDeep has proven in several posts that parada was caught lying in regards to the actual dig.

You are correct, and I have newfound evidence to back it up, I just haven't had time to put it together and share it with the community yet.

Tom was correct up until the dig occurred. Up to that point, it was apparent Plaintiff believed gold was there, post dig, the newfound evidence fully supports Plaintiff reasonably knew there was no gold recovered but has continued on with a charade, apparently in hopes of a book or movie deal.

It is entirely possible that plaintiff could *actually* turn himself into enough pretzels to actually believe that .... somehow .... someway.... the gold was "stolen . Right from under his nose".

Because : Believe it or not, people can "live in contradictions" . And not even see it.

Remember the old yarn about the guy in the mental ward who was convinced he was "dead" ? He just wandered the wards of the mental institution convinced he was dead. The shrinks gave up trying to convince him he was alive. Any evidence (medical, philosophical, psychological, etc.... ) they would give him, he would simply see it through the lens that it was an illusion, that "dead men do bleed after all", etc.... And in each case, he was quite sincere.

So as crazy as it sounds, yes, people can live in absolute defiance of reality around them, being quite sincere. Might I be wrong ? YES ! You guys might be right . Just sayin'.......

Because : Believe it or not, people can "live in contradictions" . And not even see it.

That is very true. In this case though, I have newfound, compelling evidence that Plaintiff knows no gold was dug up.

There were indicators of this (that he reasonably knew no gold was recovered) early on that I had pointed out long ago, like why did he post that the alleged gold may still be up there and why did he post that he'd still work with the FBI again, but I could never fully connect the dots until discovering this new evidence just recently.

 

[GoDeep]

Some of the most common complaints about this case are; What is taking so long? Why does the DOJ need more time? Why not just disclose all case file documents? The Plaintiff is a beneficiary of this lengthy and selective processing of records. It continues to cast the DOJ as obstructionist.

Bravo to all of this research ucnegold and spot on! It's become his main rally cry and DeFacto "evidence". Plaintiff paints the DOJ as obstructing, stalling and concealing to further his story of stolen gold, when in fact, none of that is true, he's just going thru the same painful, broken process that most every individual goes thru when they file a FOI. Facts matter...

 

[GoDeep]

Just completed more research and it's even "worse" than I thought. Beyond any reasonable doubt, Plaintiff personally knows and even observed that no gold was found at Dents Run. Any story he's concocted over the past 4 years is just that, a fictional story to keep the legend alive. The evidence is damning, I mean not just smoking gun bad, I mean high speed camera capturing the bullet exiting the barrel, bad.

We've been duped (well, not those who follow this thread!), but the rest, yes! Sorry to tease, but putting together all the documents will take time but rest assured I'm working on it.

 

[GoDeep]

In my recent re-examination of evidence, I once again came across this and I believe it's quite important.

Plaintiff has long painted a picture that him and the FBI had a contract, albeit a verbal one, and claimed the FBI agreed to give him a finders fee. But if you look at the interview of Dennis by the Atlantic just last year, that isn't true. It's clear there was no contract and no agreement for a Finders Fee, all the FBI did was acknowledge Plaintiffs statement that he'd be pursuing a Finders Fee, not that they'd give him one:

 

[Tom_in_CA]

In my recent research, I came across this ....

Some how, some way, if Dennis were to see this and rebut it, he would have some cockamamie way where it's all interpreted differently. Or that this wasn't the way it went down . Even if that means needing to say "redacted whitewashed records & tapes". Now whether this would be a blatant lie, or just delusional thinking, I dunno.

Or .... he would resort to more "cliff-hanger" rebuttals like he's done in the past . Eg. : "We have information that we can't release right now, that will blow this case wide open ", blah blah blah .

Not that Dennis ever rises to the occasion to see or address or rebut what skeptics-of-his-story are saying anyhow. But if he DID, I'm sure he'd have some crazy explanation or cliff-hanger to paint this as stolen gold, broken agreements, conspiracy, etc.....

 

[GoDeep]

Some how, some way, if Dennis were to see this and rebut it, he would have some cockamamie way where it's all interpreted differently.

Of course, that's what people do when they get caught not being truthful, they spin it and/or pile on more false claims to cover an earlier contradiction.

It's why we memorialize their own prior actual words and statements, so that the only one who is confused is the one doing the spinning.

 

[GoDeep]

Not that Dennis ever rises to the occasion to see or address or rebut what skeptics-of-his-story are saying anyhow.

As you know, prior to the FBI files being released, Plaintiff use to rebut non-stop, it's why we have such a treasure trove of his past statements.

Once the FBI files were released, the evidence started painting such a damning picture and he was constantly being caught in conflicting statements from prior posts, so he had entire threads purged and retreated to his own Facebook page where any serious questioning is met with deletion.

You have mad research skills GoDeep!

Couple of things that are no doubt in this thread but it is easier for me to just ask...

1.) Why and Who first brought the FBI into this tale?
2.) Can you provide the link "The Atlantic" story?

Thanks for all your input!

Plaintiff was contacted by Warren Getler (a self-proclaimed "investigative journalist"), who said he found Plaintiff and his story on the Treasurenet forum. Warren Getler told Plaintiff he could arrange a meeting between Plaintiff and someone at the FBI.

In the bigger scheme of things, this is unimportant, but I can't help but mention how Ironic I find it that Warren Getler bills himself as an "investigative journalist", yet here we are, the ones doing all the real investigative journalism and uncovering mountains of incriminating evidence. I guess Warren has his own narrative to fulfill and book to promote (he has a Knights of the Golden Circle book he published).

Thanks! I recall that now. Gotta say, as soon as you said he is KGC devotee that explains a lot!!

Dennis is a little too late in asking for a finder fee. He should had hired a lawyer when he found out the so-called treasures were on state property and that any federal treasures belong to the federal government. Also, let his lawyer Handly lawyers from the state and federal government. Many of us do not believe the story including me. No ill feelings aim at Dennis, but this story will not die until he does.

His latest from his Dent's Run FB page...

Finders Keepers has been busy doing everything to get some major Treasure Sites in Pa, dug up this summer. We can not give up whats been going on but I think we could be close to giving the public a update on everything thats been going on . The Federal Judge has our case on hold for over 4 months and that decision is holding everything up. Our TV series is up for sale but the networks need to hear what the Federal Courts do before they decide. We have hired another major Law Firm to help us to get some sites dug up in Pa. If we get the OK to dig the film companys will be on site to film everything we do. The digs we do will change the history of the civil war as we know it. One of our civil war sites will take many years to dig up . I will post more info when I can.

 

[GoDeep]

Interesting two posts by Plaintiff in the last day:

 

[GoDeep]

Plaintiff, quote, "The State of PA. has no idea what the FBI did at Dents Run"? Umm...no, they've been involved in the saga since about day one and were there on scene during the dig just as you were and they have access to the files too, so they know just as much, if not more than you. Evidently, you've forgotten that you once sued them too, to gain access to their files, so even you thought they had more information than you.

They also have lawyers, rangers and law enforcement on their staff who have access to people, information and systems you don't. They probably just aren't buying into the conspiracy theory you've spun which has no basis in fact.

I think one of the most compelling arguments that Plaintiff’s knew all-along that there was no buried gold at Dent’s Run is the fact they refused to accept the terms of the DCNR’s contract in 2013. The contract required, among other things, a meager bond of $5,000 which the Plaintiff refused to pay.

Plaintiff has stated this with regards to Dent’s Run after the investigation: “over $1Billion in gold gone”.

This is a no-brainer. A $5,000 bond for your chance to prove a billion in Gold and endless opportunity to cash in on the “find”. Why did they not move to seize this opportunity?

In the most recent FB post DP is again claiming: “We have hired another major Law Firm to help us to get some sites dug up in Pa. If we get the OK to dig the film companys will be on site to film everything we do. The digs we do will change the history of the civil war as we know it. One of our civil war sites will take many years to dig up.”

Now, the billion-dollar question for Plaintiff: Will you agree to DCNR terms and submit the required bond for future digs? The answer is NO. That’s why they seek out these film companies to foot the bill and assume all risk.

Looking forward to learning more about this.

ucnegold, go-deep, and seabeeRon : Thanx for the update. It can be summed up in :

1) more "cliff-hangers" for Dents Run . But rest assured : Fabulous treasure

2) And now he's ranting about other Treasures in PA ? And I have a suspicion they are going to be of the same ilk as D.R. : Baseless campfire ghost-story legends. No red cent will ever be found. But notice he's got his "bases covered" on one of them, by even saying ahead of time, it will take "years". Yeah, sure, like Oak Island, hundreds of years and not a red-cent. But rest assured : FABULOUS TREASURE .

And like D.R. will waste government people's valuable time. Crazy crazy crazy !

I found this video today, it's similar to other videos of the time, however, it's 6 minutes long and has a lot more dialogue in it, not the cut down versions of it that were only a minute or two long.

Watch it in its entirety and tell us what sticks out to you:

 

[ucnegold?]

Watch it in its entirety and tell us what sticks out to you:

One thing that sticks out at me is the obvious presence of ground water in the bottom of the excavated hole as well as running water from the outflow pipe. You may recall Plaintiff's were miffed that the investigators spoke of dealing with ground water conditions on the morning of the Day 2 dig and when finally allowed to approach the scene Plaintiffs claim there were no such issues. I always wanted to see more of the video released to the public since I believe at least five or six of those video clips were described as showing water or poor ground conditions which refute Plaintiffs claims.

More important in these video snippets is the body language being demonstrated by the Plaintiff when interviewed. It has long been known that some people will close their eyes when being untruthful when speaking. Could this be the case with Plaintiff? It is remarkable the number of times the Plaintiff closes his eyes when providing answers or explanations. IMO, I don't believe he is searching his mind for answers or something of that sort. He knows the story well. He's told the same story over and over. His advantage has been telling the story in mostly online forums where his body language cannot be examined. Iv noticed similarities in some other videos as well as eye-rolling by one when the other is speaking.
