Defiant to the end

A former deep-sea treasure hunter is preparing to mark his sixth year in jail for refusing to disclose the whereabouts of 500 missing coins made from gold found in an historic shipwreck. 

Research scientist Tommy Thompson has been held in contempt of court in Ohio since Dec. 15, 2015, for that refusal. He is also incurring a daily fine of $1,000.
