As if he'd ever be able to turn that into money without anyone noticing and putting him behind bars again.

If he wants to do crime legally, he should've become a banker.

  • He is at a disadvantage because they know him, but gold is pretty perfect to possess as a stolen item. Sort of like why people break into museums and stuff and run to the gemstones--take then somewhere, cut them into smaller gems and that shit is gone.

    Metal is actually really good to possess and sell.

    Well he still has no right to that gold, so when he tries to sell it, they will demand it from him again and if he still doesn't give it up, he'll have comitted the same crime again.
