A native tribe put him in a tent with a killer snake (Bushmaster) to prove his worthiness to live.
He located, staked, and recorded in a Lima newspaper one of the richest gold mines in the world, only to lose it to a family and the Peruvian government who in turn signed an agreement with a Canadian gold mining company ( his Peruvian partner and he were warned to leave if they valued their lives).
