Perfect!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">They rushed out to celebrate. I drove to the address, heartbroken. It was a dusty, run-down facility on the edge of town.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">But when I opened the unit, it wasn&#8217;t junk. It was stacked floor-to-ceiling with paintings.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">On top was a note: <i data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"19\">&#8220;I knew they would strip the bank accounts dry.

The &#8220;fortune&#8221; in the bank accounts was immediately seized by the IRS to pay for the back taxes Mom had &#8220;forgotten&#8221; to pay for ten years. My brother got $0.
