Has anyone else seen their commercials? G. Gordon Liddy is their spokesperson.
That's right, the guy who masterminded the Watergate break-in and plotted to kill some of Nixon's political enemies, is now trying to sell you gold.
HEY I THINK WE CAN TRUST HIM.

No, that's Cash4Gold. Some tech site proved that Cash4Gold is a scam. They offer you about 60% of market value, and if you reject the offer, they'll offer you like 85% of market value.
This is a site where you buy gold, because gold is supposedly more stable than the dollar.

I deplore pretty much all that G. Gordon stands for, but he is a damn good debater. Watching him debate Timothy Leary was pretty entertaining.
He also perfected the "no knock" entry when he raided Leary and a bunch of his acid-head buddies in Poughkeepsie back in 1966, meaning one cop knocks on the front door, and the other cop runs around back and yells "come in". Heh, heh.

Ironic, considering that between 1992 and 1994, Liddy told his radio show listeners that if the ATF shows up at your house with guns, you should shoot them. He specifically advised people to shoot for the head since ATF people wear flak jackets.

Though the commercial where MC Hammer is unscrewing his gold albums from the wall plaques to sell is hilarious...

Yeah, it's a pretty funny story in general, pretty detailed in Leary's auto-biography. After trying his damndest to run the "goofy lookin' people" out of Poughkeepsie, including trying to charge him for marijuana possession when it turned out to be peat moss, his other efforts in the Watergate scandal are pretty well documented. He seemed to make an about-face later in life, even going as far as to wish Leary good luck while they were both in prison in the seventies.
