If I got everything right, he is holding a Sumatra Gold Bar with a serial number etc but in his statement, he just bought gold like a quarter, a half or a single Kilo of Gold then re-melt it and sell that gold if the value increases in a place like "ARANGKE". Not really sure. But how come he is holding a bar that seems to be a treasure when he is not into digging? Hmp...

My mistake. I had thought this guy was a relative of the Marcos family but apparently he is not. If he's really worth $25 million then it begs the question why would he be trying to scam people on Facebook with fake gold bars? Taking a closer look the bar looks a little too smooth and perfect for that era. But I'm no expert.
