Embezzler Adams to Return to Wealth on Gold Stash
George Edward Adams, a self confessed embezzler from the US assay office in Seattle, will be wealthy upon leaving McNeil Island Penitentiary. He is conservatively valued at $200,000, of which four fifths is gold dust stolen from private individuals via the assay office. The government cannot recover the gold and it thus becomes Adams property. The government can only pursue restitution for losses to private individuals proven to be pecuniary. Adams did not steal US property but gold dust owned by private persons, of which the government was only the guardian. The prosecution was brought by the government on behalf of private victims.
