According to court documents, the former LAX cargo handler had given one gold bar to a coworker, another to a relative for a car or cash, and buried the last 2 in his backyard.
Marlon Moody, 39, of South Los Angeles, was sentenced Monday to 12 months in federal prison and ordered to pay a fine of $7,500. He and a co-defendant, 36-year-old Brian Benson, also of South Los Angeles,to one count of conspiracy to commit theft of an interstate or foreign shipment. Benson has since served a four-month prison sentence for his role in the theft.
Moody found the missing box near the Singapore Airlines cargo warehouse on the morning of April 23, 2020, the day after the box went missing, and drove it to a nearby location where prosecutors say he removed four of the gold bars. When Benson arrived soon after to pick up Moody in a company van with other coworkers, they texted each about the gold bars. Prosecutors say they later left the airport for a nearby parking lot, where Moody gave Benson one of the gold bars.
