COOL: Man claims he dumped gold in dumpster during divorce dispute.

“D*** right I did,” the 52-year-old former defense contractor huffed at a July deposition by the woman’s stunned divorce attorney . . . In his sworn interview, Jones said he consigned the treasure to a Dumpster behind a Colorado Springs motel, according to a transcript obtained by The Gazette.

Bank records supplied by Jones prove that the money was converted to gold through a Phoenix, Ariz. precious metals dealer, lending credence to the hard-to-swallow tale, Lyle said.

“We say that when people are divorcing, they enter a state of temporary insanity,” he said. “But on a scale of 1 to 10, this is my 10.”
