This had to have been an inside job of some sort. Also this coin has long since been melted down, never to be seen again

There is a similar 10 kg coin with a canoe on it.

Honestly, i'll be shocked if this ever gets solved.

It may get solved, but the coin will never be recovered. At least not AS a coin.

Unless it was stolen on commission by a very rich collector and it's sitting in his hidden collection Conder. Could be recovered eventually if that was the case.

It's been reported that two suspects have been detained by the German Police.

Apparently video taken before the robbery. No video of them afterward?

For those who suspected it was an inside job, kudos for you. Another news update: Museum guard among four arrested: https://www.thelocal.de/20170712/po...erlin-museum

As well as making the arrests on Wednesday morning, police seized a car where a balaclava and knife were found.
Sources inside the investigation say the suspects come from a "large Arab family" with alleged links to organised crime.
Nuff'said....  Organized, like say ISIS?

I don't know why this came to mind after 3+ years, but I decided to do a little research and it looks like 3 of the 4 arrested were put behind bars. To the surprise of absolutely no one, no trace of the coin has ever been found, save some gold particles in the thieves' getaway car and clothing. More reading on this. |
