Wait, did you say 'high-volume dealer of precious metals'? I bet this guy's got a bad case of 'bling fever' and just can't stop buying shiny things. That's the real red flag here!

I don't know, maybe the friend referral is a good thing? It could just be an honest transaction. Although, the lack of business purpose is a bit suspicious. Hmm, tough call.
