If we talk about prime, sure, I can see someone killing others for gold, as we can skip all the unnecessary forcing of murders to become a pure detective story.

What about the fact that no one can cash the money in any way unless they all work together and play nice? The gold can't be spent, even if you somehow get around being arrested for killing your family and being the only survivor. What about the fact that no one gains any benefit at all from killing anyone else even if they could cash the gold, because even the proper shares are more than they can hope to spend in their lifetimes and dividing it equally means there won't be any annoying, life-destroying investigations and rumor mills?
What about the fact that none of the adults could hope to hide this from their children, who they live? Like, say Kyrie shot everyone up but she, Rudolf, and Battler survived. Was Battler in on it? What are they going to tell Ange?
Killing people for the gold only works if you're an idiot who doesn't know the fundamental basics of economics and judicial procedure. Gold can't be an incentive unless everyone on the island is retarded.
