This has to be one of the funniest things I have read in a while – AOL intends to search for gold and platinum bars they suspect are buired at the home of Davis Wolfgang Hawke’s parents on two acres in Medfield, Massachusetts.

Hawke was the central character in the book ‘Spam kings‘. AOL won $12.8 million against him in a lawsuit – Hawke was spamming their email users. AOL have not been able to recover any of the money as it seems that Hawke bought gold & platinum bars with the $600,000 a month he was earning, and AOL believe he buried it in his mothers back yard!
