The fortune, found by the police on March 15, 2007 at his residence at Lomas de Chapultepec in Mexico City included the following:

205 million U.S. dollars
18 million Mexican pesos
200,000 euros
113,000 Hong Kong dollars
11 centenarios (Mexican gold bullion coins made of 1.20565 Oz. of pure gold[8])
A great amount of jewels, of unknown value

I knew it was like $200,000,000.00!! Damn... I wish I knew about that house before the feds did... I'd have the first 5 second street car lol.

LOL.

The 220k was won on a backing deal. The person who ownes that money fronted a portion of a players entry fee into a WSOP tournament. That person went on the win the tournament and a bunch of money. The 220k was the backers percentage of the winnings.

So basically you invest $1,500 and win $220,000. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Haha.
