Interesting idea Kelly, but that's assuming that the same "financial institutions" still exist in his timeline, and that he could expect a return from them without having to maintain some "control" over it in the time period between this timeline and his.

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day, when we'd be having a time travel discussion on FR...

Presumably he'd know which institutions survived from our time to his. Besides, even if he didn't, it's still worth a shot in the dark - $800 at 6% over 250 years yields almost $1.7 billion. Depending on how inflation goes over the next 250 years, he might do okay ;)
