The jewelry stores in SXM would have had a large inventory of gold to make jewelry???

That reuters article says not only has gold been taken from banks but also gold stored in other countries. Maybe the gold on that plane was in SXM and they were attempting to move it elsewhere? Or was it found on a plane that had landed in SXM? That would mean maybe they were attempting to hide it on the island.

They must have been heading to St. Barth's to have lunch at the Nikki Beach Bar. It's the only possible answer.

The Dutch Caribbean has long been a notorious middleman for Venezuelan gold.
