In April 2017, Tony ended up in Yukon Territorial Court over a stunt in which a former employee doused the dredge pond with gasoline and another employee lit it on fire, according to CBC News. On Gold Rush, the narrator called the stunt a “Viking baptism” meant to change the dredge’s luck.
That August, Tony and his company were charged $31,000 for violating the Yukon Waters Act in the incident, as Yukon News reported at the time.
“Since I am the man running the show, I guess I should have been a little bit more, and told him not to do it,” Beets said that April, per CBC News. “However I didn’t do that, so here you are in court, so take the fine. Next time, don’t go there. It’s kind of a joke gone bad, right?”
