Unlike money gold can be melted and thus become « untraceable ». So that seems smart.

Only about 20 liters, if I did my math right. Gold is dense though, so the real limiting factor is that $20 million in gold is ~310 kg.

So, in theory you could walk out with that much in a suitcase, though in practice there is no way you'd be able to lift it off the ground.

Stealing gold in transport is some straight up pirate shit. We can only assume now that the age of air piracy is upon us

Suspect used phony document in $20M Pearson gold heist: lawsuit

Toronto Pearson airport is often used to transport gold mined in Canada so it can be shipped to customers globally.

A U.S.-based security company suing Air Canada over an unsolved $20-million gold heist at Toronto Pearson airport says a suspect accessed the cargo facilities using a fraudulent document.

In a lawsuit filed by Brinks International on October 6, the company alleges Air Canada employees failed to properly examine and authenticate the document shared by an "unidentified individual" during the planned heist at the Toronto airport on April 17.

"At approximately [6:32 p.m.], an unidentified individual gained access to [Air Canada's] cargo storage facilities. No security protocols or features were in place to monitor, restrict or otherwise regulate the unidentified individual's access to the facilities," the lawsuit states.

"Once inside, the unidentified individual presented to [Air Canada] personnel the copy of an airway bill respecting an unrelated shipment 'Fraudulent Waybill.'"

Oh so it wasn't some grandiose heist after all. He just showed up with a fake document and they said "Yup sure take it!"

Just… wow. There won't be much to make a movie about.
