Even then, some forensic accounting would make short work of this. The money wouldn't add up. If he was getting direct deposit (sometimes required), he'd have to be pulling out a lot of cash that would not equate with the lifestyle he was living. Which could mean a lot of things in isolation (not RG in particular) - drugs or other illegal activity, loading up on Krugerrands at the local coin store, etc.
Of course the police could know this and not be divulging it. If RG voluntarily left the country to live somewhere else, that's his right.
The Bellefonte Police never checked. Nobody looked at his public financial disclosure statements until we did.
The Krugerrands should have been in the estate information.
RFG was divorced in 2001, and there was a general liquidation of assets. He complained that he had to pay capital gains taxes at the time; the sale of the house did not generate a taxable capital gain.
