Whatever it is, McCracken is pretty good at submitting legal paperwork. Karl Sommer, the lawyer for Fenn's estate, put it differently.
He says Fenn misled the entire community on the hunt. McCracken, who is representing himself in court, indicated he would show evidence that Fenn was still alive after his death was announced. He also claims that Fenn purchased property near his search spot to keep tabs on him, and that Fenn was lying every time he said that the chest was still in the same place he'd originally left it. McCracken accuses Fenn of moving the treasure four times-whenever McCracken was getting close to it, he says. He told Yellowstone National Park's chief ranger, Sarah Davis. I wish I were making that up.īut now the most recent Fenn lawsuit has shown that Fenn did actually tell someone exactly where the treasure was, very soon after it was found.

A different one accused the chest's then anonymous finder of hacking a plaintiff's emails and texts to steal the solution. One accused Fenn of ending the hunt on purpose and lying when he announced the treasure was found in Wyoming.
