Oh yeah, I'm definitely not providing the definitive or original account, just throwing out a decent overview for anyone interested in more details.

Your link provides a number of details I do not recall from John Long’s account. Thank you.

On the other hand, John Long is a raconteur par excellence, and I recommend all of his books as entertaining reading about an important time in climbing history.

One thing Long wrote/claimed that is not mentioned in the linked post is that two of the dirtbags involved leveraged their haul into an ongoing drug-dealing business. Until they were found, shot dead, in their home.
