Anyone want to bet they don’t find all the gold down there when they conduct an inventory?

Wet gold is a mouse fart to this one, the
Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. whose flooded vault contained million$ and million$ of PAPER securities, including bearer bonds, those legendary coupon clip money machines. Unless these can be recovered, which means dried and legible, it will become accountants, archivists and lawyers' dream lifetime jobs.
A bearer bond was/is the ultimate in untraceable money and the subject of many an older mystery plot. It has no paper trail and whomever possesses it can cash it or clip it's interest coupons until it matures. If the bond is destroyed, the ramifications are obvious and numerous, how do you prove this wet scrap is it and not something else ...?
Talk about money down the drain ...
Too bad no ziplock sale men thought to call on them a week before ...

If there was real gold down in that vault, there should be no problem with the salt water.

An amazing thing happened, some of the “gold” was seen floating away in the storm waters.
