Reply to comment by jamescookenotthatone in TIL Of the Bre-X fraud. The Canadian mining company was a penny stock that reportedly found billions of dollars of gold in Indonesia. The stock skyrocketed but collapsed following the suicide of one of the geologists and discovery that the core samples were salted. by jamescookenotthatone

Also the geologist that “committed suicide” did so by jumping out of a helicopter, after surgically removing both his hands and feet. Seems legit
