Cash in the walls
ChadTower:
Seems to me she did really, really well. She spent $14,000 on a vacation. Then $60,000 "was stolen" but never reported to police. Suuuuuuuuuuuure it was... who the eff puts $60k in a shoebox in the closet? She also "sold some rare 1920s bills"... so that's more to her. Sounds like she did just fine.
And dude complains that sounding greedy hurt his business. Well, duh, Sherlock. You were greedy.
patrickl:
Yeah, not sure how the bankruptcy would be tied to this. Although she claims the money was stolen buy the contractor (Kitts).
I really don't understand how the descendants of Dunne could claim the money. If you buy the house wouldn't that normally include everything that's inside the house when you take posession?
ChadTower:
I'm guessing she settled with them so their lawsuits wouldn't eat the rest of the cash in attorney fees. Consider it legal blackmail.
mountain:
Another angle that I don't think was ever looked into: How did the original owner of the money manage to accumulate $182,000 in CASH back in the depression. I imagine that would be the equivalent of a few million beans today. :dunno
ChadTower:
It said he was wealthy... when the banks started to crash people ran straight to them and withdrew as much of their money as they were able. It is plausible that someone would have cleared their accounts and stashed the cash someplace safe.
