The second week another $2 million was discovered and on Tuesday, November 25 the treasure hunters found another $2million in the Ficosha bank, bringing the amount of the horde in checking accounts and term deposits to $13 million Like the previous finds Tuesday’s haul was provisionally seized but he presumably still has some small change to pay for the take away meals that are delivered to his cell each day.
