Have you heard of this story? Almost unbelievable! This proves again that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are absolute useless.

Russian customs officials have detained a German man who was attempting to cross the border from Estonia into Russia with some 13 kilograms of fine gold concealed in his caravan.

The 21 gold bars, with a total value exceeding 90 million roubles ($980,000), were not declared by the 58-year-old man, Russian authorities said.

The gold bars, bearing the hallmarks of a western company, were discovered during a search of the caravan and the man's personal belongings. It was unclear how he had obtained the gold.

...but googled the story quite quickly, so it s true. a bit more details:

A German tried to transport ingots in his mobile home, indicating only the vehicle itself in the passenger customs declaration (PCD). "After scanning the car with an inspection and screening complex, inspectors noticed metal rectangular briquettes. Smaller ingots were also found in the luggage among personal belongings," the department's press service said in a statement on Telegram. The bars had the marking of the German precious metals trading company Degussa FEINGOLD 999.9. Each of the bars was marked with an individual number.

Thanks for adding some details. Already assumed it was Degussa Gold bars, famous gold retailer in Germany.
