    A little late on this one, but it is now a federal law in the US
    that you have to be a business in order to send in scrap and get cash
    back for it if you are going through a refiner. If you are an
    individual you can go to someone who buys gold off the street and
    then they can send it in because they have a license. Unless you are
    going to act as an intermediary (which I wouldn't recommend because
    it definitely sounds like there is some theft involve here) they will
    not be able to send their product directly to a refiner.
