I could have believed the guy if he had stuck to the original tale of 52 bars weighing 50 pounds each (2,600 lbs. total weight). But claiming that there were nine tons of gold (18,000 lbs.) and later adding on that there were tons of silver as well killed what little credence his tall tale had.
The sad part is when I did a Google search to find the original tale, all that came up were endless articles about the FBI stealing this guy's gold. He's gotten his 15 minute of fame, but he'll never go away until he makes money off the tall tale.
