Actually it was 50% finders keepers.
That is what the judge decided.
50% to the kid that found it, the other 50% to the insurance company.

From memory, the kid got 136 bills. Sold some for around $2,000 each back at the time.
YES, at that rate, it is more than the total $200,000 ransom money
Maybe the insurance company should have sold theirs. (maybe they did)
