There is a rumor that I provided Bruce information about people involved in divying up the money in 1986...that is...between Brian, the FBI and "other people". And that I used the information Bruce provided to obtain all of the other money, and that explains my recent interest in the serials.
"The F.B.I. then took custody of the money until 1986, when a court divided it among Ingram, the F.B.I., and Northwest Airlines and its insurance company. Of the $5,800 he found, Ingram was allowed to keep almost $3,000.' [ Globe Indemnity Co. ]
I would like to deny all such accounts. I have had no such communication with Bruce and he can confirm that.

EDIT: New York Times, from UPI, reported the split as just between the insurance company, Brian and FBI. Unclear if Northwest got any, as sometimes reported.

Brian Ingram, who found $5,800 of a ransom paid to the plane hijacker D. B. Cooper, will get to keep $2,760.
Brian, then 8 years old, found the money six years ago. An equal amount will go to the insurer of Northwest Orient Airlines, which was forced to pay $200,000 Nov. 24, 1971. The remaining $280 will be kept for evidence. The hijacker presumably parachuted out with the money; the case is the nation's only unsolved plane hijacking."
