Tommy Thompson, a deep-sea explorer, has been released from federal prison after serving over a decade for refusing to reveal the location of 500 gold coins from the S.S. Central America shipwreck. At 73, Thompson’s incarceration was deemed ineffective as a coercive measure, despite his claims of memory loss regarding the coins’ whereabouts. He faces ongoing civil litigation and substantial fines totaling $3.3 million, even as he remains under court supervision.
