If it was legit, why would he not just announce where it was and solve the mystery? I'm convinced it was a hoax. And why does the finder want to remain anonymous? So no one will try to steal it from him?
I don't know, I'm just not buying it.

Tax dodging (which I can't blame him) or he doesn't want relatives bothering him... or it's fake.

If I found it I wouldn't want anyone knowing who I was...
I think with something this high-profile the .gov is going to know who you are no matter how secret you try to keep it - so tax-dodging would be mostly impossible... I'd just want to avoid anyone and everyone you know asking you for handouts, business "opportunities" and whatnot. I'd probably share with some close family and friends with the condition that they keep it quiet too.

I can hardly imagine the IRS isn't going to come knocking for their tax on a prize winning such as this?

Any guesses on where? Close to Yellowstone?

Yes, just outside the border near the West gate coming from Idaho.
That's a guess, or fact? I didn't read that anywhere.

Yep! It was my guess. I poured over maps and local names, etc. and felt I had the location pretty nailed. I had planned on searching for it in June, but my role here at work changed and what was supposed to be a chill summer turned super busy.

Wow, not long after the treasure was found Forrest Fenn had passed away!
