They have got to be among the most stupid people to ever walk the face of the Earth for telling anyone about this, especially being so ‘public’ about it. I most likely would have quietly put it in a safe deposit box at a solid bank and contact a trusted(HA!) attorney to explore options. I know one thing for sure, at around the top of my ‘to-do’ list for that type of situation would be getting the hell out of California.
Their stupidity alone makes them undeserving of such a find, because it will cause them to inevitably lose it in one way or another. Either by government/bureaucrats wanting their piece of the action, or by outright theft from others. I have a bridge to sell them, and I think they’ll actually buy it!
- - CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING :
- oh yeah - contact a “trusted attorney” and ..
- tell you “current wife” (in California!)
- tell your idiot cokehead nephew
- open a law book yourself and ignore anything negative to your own interests or be dismembered, dissolved in acids and and tossed in old rusty cans in the Pacific Ocean above the Arctic Circle -
