No BS, if by some odd twist of fate I actually have an obscene amount of $$ waiting, yes... drinks on me even if I'm not there.
They wont tell me how much, but I know its me for sure... they sent me 1 check when I was 18, I thought it was a 1 time thing... bought a 1984 VW GTI
They tried to send additional settlement monies later that year... but I had moved out, and was on active duty. They don't forward checks no matter what, so it was sent back and has been collecting interest since (20 years), along with what was already there (add interst from birth 18 years).
During these past 20 years, various groups & tribes have sued and won millions for various other US Govt misdeeds (like flooding Indian land), those winnings were distrubuted to these interest bearing IIM accounts... even for those who, like me, were "whereabouts unknown" for 20 years.
People who have land, these trustees have been managing the land, some is farm land, some timber even oil reserves.. and profit the land yeilds goes into the IIM account.
..and now we have a possible 6 to 9 more billion in "we're sorry" money from congress.
I'm actually very nervous, the lady on the phone at the Govt office specifically said they dont give out "this kind of money" without my showing up in person.
