Craig Sexton of 1-800-Got Junk has seen all kinds of weird things in the many estate clean-ups he's done. There was a fridge of rotted cheese and rotted cans of salmon.

But nothing prepared Sexton for what he found in the suite above an old deli called the Lido in east Vancouver in  February. "Under a rug we found a thousand dollars," he said. But that's not all, a caretaker discovered a paper bag in a closet was filled with $400,000 in cash.The bills date back to the 1930s depression era, making them worth over $50 million in today's dollars.

sorry for misinforming u read the comment up top which I riposted

The co-owner of the building, Jonathan Kerridge, doesn't know much about the previous owner, an old lady named Margeret Rothweiler had lived here since 1940's, before dying in  February.She and her husband Chris had run the business but it had been closed for years. The money  has gone to Margaret's side of the family.

Fuck that. If I ever find a large sum of money. I'd never, ever EVER tell ANYONE except my closest family/friends. Especially not the Media. You might end up getting into some deep shit, or you might end up not even getting to keep the money. Just take it, and walk on and do what you have to do to make sure it ends up in your account.

hahhahha thats what I was thinking why did he report it to the media now he dont get to keep anything!!!

the previous owner who lived there will or she is dead but her family gets to inherit like 50 million since this guy discovered it. He should of just stfu and deposited the money in a Swis bank account.

How do you know he didn't think ahead and outsmart everyone.  He could've found $500K in the closet, pocketed $100K and reported that he found $400K.

Cha-ching.  That's $11 mil right there.

As bad as it may seem, I would've done the same thing. They have no idea what's in this house, that's why they called some junk cleaner to sort through it all. I'm sure if I had that job I'd keep things off to the side just for me if they don't know about it.

Yeah, I would at least keep a portion. Just think: what if you report it, and find out that the person it "belongs" to is a complete asshole or something? At least you know you wouldn't be doing stupid/bad stuff with it.

The only thing about all you guys saying just don't say nothing is that they are all 1930's bills...

Good luck using these discreetly:

It's not a banks job to ask questions, and it's easy to make up lies.

actually they would be legally obliged to ask.

That's why you just give in about 2 million at a time, keep the rest in a safe deposit lock.
