Name of man who says he found Forrest Fenn's infamous hidden treasure chest revealed

A decade ago, an eccentric New Mexico art dealer hid more than $1 million worth of treasure somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. In June, he said someone had found it, but that person wished to remain anonymous. Now, the man who found Fenn’s treasure is unmasking himself. Janet Shamlian reports.

    My name is John Hutchins I wrote a book. Called seeking the treasure nine clues to the chest. A short story about the poem. Men have been looking for a spec of gold and a pebbles
    For hours,days,weeks,months, and years. When Forrest Fenn
    Wrote his poem, his intention was to get people out into the
    Rocky Mountains. This is a story about Forrest Fenn’s
    Treasure and poem, and a family looking for the treasure.
    In this you will go on a journey, meet new people, and laugh
    And hear stories that bring tears to your eyes.

    Hi CBS, I think you should know that this was a staged find, but that Fenn DID actually encrypt his poem, which has been decrypted and shows a different solver. Thx

    The end of the quest seems mysterious and raises many questions. Can one be sure that the search was honestly ended? The treasure was found shortly before Forrest Fenn’s death after years of searching. My thesis is that he saw his death coming and wanted to finish the story before he died. Did the finder get a tip from him or his family? Is there any evidence that the finder had previously been in contact with a member of the family? Why doesn’t the finder explain how and after what time this successful search came about? The finder cloaks himself in silence, for which there is no reason. Just like someone who has been advised by his lawyer not to say anything in order not to be able to reveal anything that incriminates his testimony. If you believe the information, it seems that he has already been identified. Or did he just make himself available as a straw man and the treasure was cashed in by the family? From all these questions you could at least write a good story for a movie.

    Jack Stuef did not solve the poem and it didn’t lead him to the treasure chest. Matt DeMoss and Cynthia Meachum moved it from the original location in New Mexico and placed it at 9MH after removing a few items. Then Forrest Fenn told Jack where it was at and to retrieve it for him. There is now about to be a Federal criminal investigation. You folks that aren’t a part of the treasure hunt, including CBS, need to stop spouting out misinformation.
