'I removed the bubble wrap and there was all this cash staring at me,' he said. 'I had never seen money like that ever in my life except for in movies, so I was quite shocked.'
It started out as a normal day for Vinod Menon, professor and chair of physics at City College of New York in Harlem. He was back to in-person teaching and went to the school's physics office on September 1 to find a pile of mail had accumulated. Most of it was junk, he said – but there was also a box.
The box was heavy and Menon dug inside."I removed the bubble wrap and there was all this cash staring at me," he said."I had never seen money like that ever in my life except for in movies, so I was quite shocked." "That's when it left our hands," Menon said."I was getting occasional emails updating me on how things were going and maybe a month or two later, I came to know that the FBI cleared the money and there was nothing wrong with it, it wasn't illegal or anything, so the college can keep it."
