    Smells like a classic 419 SCAM.

    I think that you should stop wasting your time on him.

    Trust your instincts.

    Also, "normal" people DON'T transport THAT much gold in one hit and certainly not in bar form.
    I'm sure there's laws covering that, but either way it would have been one extremely heavy suitcase.

    Trust your instinct here.

    You were wise to ask for some sort of verification with a phone number from customs where he got busted.

    Please let that be a huge red flag, and stop all contact with this man.

    There are so many scams, and it all boils down to getting you to save somebody, with money.

    Don't fall for it.

    If he has 75 kilos in gold bars, he can well afford an attorney, he doesn't need your money.
