My name is Utah Hans, and I am a programmer from Richmond, VA. I am a civilian and have never been inside the CIA HQ or know anything about the CIA besides what’s on the public internet. I do not mean to worry any of you that there is a security leak; this is something I had dreamed about only. I had a dream a while back when I was at the unveiling of a statue in front of the CIA building. There was a ceremony, and I listened to the speaker’s words.
The speaker spoke very passionately about working at the CIA. He said that even though there was a cash prize for his sculpture, it was worthless because the amount of riches in the building was enormous. This is where his first key phrase, or maybe even cipher, came to be. His key phrase was ‘To The Looter Goes the Spoils.’ He spoke very highly of everyone who worked at the CIA, and he created this sculpture to get you to network with each other and form lifelong connections. If you worked with enough people and hard enough, a cash prize would be awarded to the correct answer. I do not believe he explained the correct answer.
If you work in the CIA building, you already know that cipher/phrase. The issue is that you need to find a physical location where the reward is. This is just ‘hide in plain sight’- a weird camouflage that tricks people into not realizing the answer is proper before them.
The CIA has something, I believe, called ‘The Family Vault’ on its campus. The family vault is a place that is tradition for you to be taken to during your first days working at the CIA. It’s a vault full of cash. When you get taken to the family vault, your boss or whomever, with whoever that during your security clearance, the only thing the CIA cared about was whether or not you ‘stole from family’.’As long. as you didn’t steal from your family, the CIA passed your clearance. They instruct you to use the money in this vault for anything you need but don’t steal any of it.
What stumped the CIA was that they didn’t understand that the FamilyVaultt was the prize at the end of the road. If you work there, you view it as part of tradition and can not imagine that that would be the answer to the riddle.
Another problem that Sanborn doesn’t explain is that he made this stupid thing about time travel. There was something where he tried to say, “To the heroic time traveler, you are the hero to many different timelines,” but the issue was that he and Oxford had the same problem. You keep putting time travel checks behind locked doors. You have to make it someplace public. The CIA langley HQ is not a public place.
I tried emailing Sanborn, but thankfully, his wife responded (Nancy). She told me that Sanborn didn’t respond to me because I did not pay the $50. So, I have not given him the money because he made it one of those things where the answer is “There is no answer.” Sometimes, people who do this say, “Oh, it’s an impossible task.” I don’t want him to tell me anything after paying $50, so I will start a Kickstarter and ask anyone who hasn’t worked for the CIA to give me a prize pool of at least 1 million dollars.
“I have found another issue with World Factbook. You list the value for Kryptos as $250,000, but it was a $125,000 contract. It was $35k in materials. The,n there was some other software that the CIA made him install, but that was just web security. They set that up for him. It was specifically mentioned in the contract and predetermined, signed, dotted,d, and delivered February 4th, 1965 to Roundinghouse err Missippi. Editors Note: I think he is just testing for the possibility that someone is spying on his thoughts. I am flagging him because he suspects someone would do that. So because he thought someone was spying on him, I was flagged to check to see if there were any known telepathic listening devices. He immediately went into a guarded mode because he knew he had to develop a secret. The secret is unknown due to department policy. Utah”
