He found a $500 million treasure, and the FBI stole it from him!

Dennis Parada, a treasure hunter from Pennsylvania, has accused the FBI of a ’major coverup,’ alleging that the agency made off with $500 million worth of buried Civil War gold. Parada claims to have located a burial site in western Pennsylvania filled with Civil War treasure, but he insists that the FBI conducted a nighttime dig, depriving him of a substantial finder’s fee. The FBI maintains that their 2018 excavation in Dents Run was unsuccessful, despite their own testing suggesting the presence of gold. Parada, along with his son Kem, sued the FBI last year, alleging that the agency failed to turn over certain records and manipulated photos to conceal the nighttime dig. The treasure hunters argue that the evidence, including photos and documents, raises questions about the FBI’s conduct during the excavation. The lawsuit revolves around the disputed disappearance of the alleged Civil War gold and the ongoing debate between Parada and the FBI over the authenticity of the treasure and the events surrounding the excavation
