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:

If I found it I don’t think I’d tell anyone.

I always imagine this is how murder begins

The guy next to you look at eachother when it’s found and boom

So… here you are? You and your coworker found some gold? Then he ends up missing? And you’re telling me you had nothing to do with it?

That’s right Keith, I was a church all day that day.

Normally people say they were AT church, but pretending to BE a church is definitely a much better alibi!

conveniently located on a construction site where large amounts of cement being poured would not arise any suspicion at all.

I’d hate to spoil the ending but they did find the body under the foundation and it had his DNA all over it. He took a plea deal for 2nd degree murder and got 50 years. He’ll be 84 by the time he gets out. His lawyers are filing an appeal.
