Smithsonian Bounties, Suppression of Anomalous Finds

The Smithsonian Institution is accused of using massive financial bounties to acquire and suppress anomalous archaeological finds. One account mentions a $5 million bounty offered in 1910 for a dinosaur in the Congo, while another describes a Utah man waiting for a Smithsonian payout for a "dragon" skeleton. These payments often served as a "period to the sentence," effectively removing the discoveries from public discourse and academic study.
