Yeah, that's a good point also. The article states that the actual find was 40 keys, which would actually be valued at around $1.4M since with that quantity, these guys probably aren't cutting it down and selling it off in 8-balls in powder or rock form LOL. Likely pushing them out as entire keys at 35K each.
I'm assuming the $1000/gram price you quote is a typo and it's more likely about $80/gram.
