An employee of the Royal Canadian Mint allegedly smuggled about $180,000 in gold from the fortress-like facility, possibly evading multiple levels of detection with a time-honoured prison trick.

"Investigators also found a container of vaseline in his locker and the trial was presented with the prospect that a puck could be concealed in an anal cavity and not be detected by the wand. In preparation for these proceedings, in fact, a security employee actually tested the idea, Barnes said."

I can't believe no-one has yet commented on the appropriateness of the judge, to whit:

"Justice Peter Doody reserved decision until Nov. 9 on a number of smuggling-for-cash charges, including theft, laundering the proceeds of crime, possession of stolen property and breach of trust."

Say what you will but I hear Justice Peter Doody knows his Shhite!

If these "inserted" pucks were to be graded what would they come back as?

Hey, it'll all come out in the end.

Keep stacking. Lubricate if you have to, but stack.

If anyone can get to the bottom of this, it'll be him. Few Justices would have the intestinal fortitude, or fiber, to see something like this through to the end.

Something about this whole think stinks!

Wouldn't it be interesting if somehow the gold pucks that were smuggled out turned out to be fakes.

This article/case is the gift that keeps on giving.


I wonder if they have seized any assets. Also, if they were liquid.

Pucks? - For those of you who are also hockey fans, this adds a whole new meaning to "putting the biscuit in the basket"!
