Huge Cash Sum Found at Trade Center Site
Enough cash to fill 60 garbage bags was found in the World Trade Center rubble over the weekend and is believed to be part of an $11-million sum reported missing by Bank of America.
The U.S. and foreign currency was spotted Friday while compacted material six stories underground was being excavated, said Port Authority Lt. John Ryan. He said he did not know the exact amount found but believed it was a portion of the missing money.
A Bank of America spokeswoman said the money belongs to the company. Its 11th-floor office had a walk-in vault and provided foreign currency to other banks.
