Well I can see their point. Was the money deposited as it was to be? If so then their suit has no merit, they should be going after the banks it was deposited in. If not then they are owed the money.

Either the money is still sitting somewhere in an account, or somebody embezzled it. In either case, they have a right to it if they really earned it.

OTOH, some of this may be legends passed down thru the families. Others may have little or not proof, in which case they're SOL.
