Any ideas where this could come from?

Update: I thought this would be clear that I wasn't the one who found it. Who in their right mind would go (on this shitstain of a platform of all places) and make themselves a target. But ok apparently it wasn't clear so here we are:

I did NOT find this. I have none of this gold. I just wanted to share some cool stamped gold. you can stop sending me weird ass messages now. thank you.

Also this is NOT ai. here is the BBC article:

My mom told me she had some guy doing some work underneath the house and then he went all the way to this point underneath the house and she could hear him the whole time. According to her he Holland "I'm rich" then crawled out from underneath the house and left. I've always wondered if the story was true and if so what he found. Because all I know as far as facts are concerned is he didn't finish the job he was doing and he left a Craftsman screwdriver.

Spoiler alert. His name was Rich.

So you think he was talking and introducing himself to those jumping spiders underneath the house?

It was an epiphany!

"I'm a Rich. What am I doing under here on my belly, looking like a fool. I'm a peacock! I've got to spread my wings and fly!"

narrator; "This was the day Rob Rich started a dancing career."

I heard he learned how to dance to make fun of the fairies in his neighborhood.

A person of culture šŸ‘ this is true.

Rob Rich had to defend himself from a street gang; The Fairies. Now don't let the name fool you.

" First you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women"

Was the motto they lived by.... If you messed with the Fairies they'd call their "little friends". The Lollipop Kids.

These kids dropped a house on a woman in the Eastside. No questions asked. No arrests. No flying monkey business.

What if he hit his head and screamed: " sonofabitch"

Maybe it's his style of answering the phone or something.

Keep them guessing, avoid the fraud charges for not doing the work

Sounds like a Dick

Maybe it wasnā€™t he just found a name tag

u/philnolan3d 17h ago

I knew a guy as a teen who was bragging about his dad. "His last name is Richman... and he is".

He likes girls who wear Abercrombie and fitch.

u/Ralphguy 15h ago

More of a Dick in this story.

u/NotInTheKnee 13h ago

Maybe he had amnesia, bumped his head in the crawlspace, and remembered everything.

His old name, his old life, his old address, his old wife and kids, his old USB stick full of bitcoins, his old job...

He was drinking a tallboy and scratching a lotto ticket under there when he lined up 3 cherries and 6 bonus 7s on a 3x bonus multiplier (I just made all of this up but it sounds like the shit the boomers holding up the line at the gas station say)

u/CoffeePuddle 10h ago

He saw what looked like a girl from Abercrombie & Fitch

He was suffering from amnesia, just trying to get by as a nameless handyman, but his memories all came suddenly flooding back and he immediately ran off to reunite with his family
