The happy buyer – who did not disclose his identity – however, could not keep the amount found. Shortly after the surprise, he received a call from the lawyer of the original owners of the deposit. The lawyer offered him $ 600,000 in return for the recovery of the money. The initial offer was rejected by the new owners, although ultimately they reached an agreement and they kept 1.2 million of dollars. The remaining 6,300,000 returned to their real owners, who had been auctioned – unusually – for not paying rent.
