- Treasure hunter Dennis Parada believes the FBI stole nine tons of Civil War-era gold worth over $500 million from Dents Run, Pennsylvania.
- Parada has been searching for the gold for over 40 years and claims there is evidence of a major cover-up.
- The FBI conducted an excavation in 2018 but found nothing, leading Parada and his team to believe the gold was taken under cover of darkness.
- Parada and his team have sued the FBI, alleging the agency has doctored photos and failed to turn over certain records.
- The FBI denies the allegations and states that no gold or evidence was found during the excavation.
