> 10 years for refusing to to say where he found gold is wild.
No, that's not what happened. I'm guessing you saw this news before under a clickbait title.
It's not about where gold was found, it's about where he stashed it later. These are assets that are (or were) in his hands which partially belong to all the investors he defrauded.
I don’t understand why he won’t just share it, that’s Thorin Oakenshield level of crazy to choose jail over that.

Still point stand that fraud is at times punished harsher then rape or child molesting
