That sounds suspicious. 36.5 tons of material? That's the sort of thing a cop would make up to ensure a conviction.
The 13.5 tons of gold had me curious. 13.5tons = 27000 lbs = 432000 oz
Gold is between $4700 to $4900 per oz
The value is between $2.03 to $2.12 billion usd
To be fair, 13.5 tons of gold is about 700 L (using a density of 19.3 kg/m3). That's a lot, sure, but still far smaller than your average cupboard.
You could literally fit this stuff under a decently sized bed (2m x 1.8m, with 20cm elevation), inside a fridge, or behind the clothes in a wardrobe.
Fair, gold really is dense. 23 tons of cash on the other hand...
