The following treasure legends is not particularly about lost treasure but the mysterious missing owner
It will become perhaps one the 21 centuries intriguing modern treasure legends.
Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport has a strange secret, according to the Russian press. There is a claim that 20 billion euros ($26 billion) has been allegedly sitting in the airport since 2007.
The Moscow tabloid reports that a man named Farzin Koroorian Motlagh shipped the money from Frankfurt but has never arrived to collect it. Now the money sits in limbo, as it cannot be seized by the Russian authorities nor given to anyone other than Motlagh under Russian law as he did not specify a recipient. It’s an odd situation. MK reports that the cash is being stored in pallets which fit 100 million euro.
There are reportedly 200 pallets, each weighing around 1 ton. The total weight of the cash is listed as 200 tons. So where did the cash come from, and who is Mr. Motlagh?
A scanned passport included in the article was issued by Iran, and MK reports that he is listed as an employee of the Central Bank in the United Arab Emirates.
A Facebook page claiming to belong to him lists his current address as Tehran, while a search for his name brings up a number of murky-sounding investment companies.
A report on an Iranian news website ties to a multi million dollar investment fraud in the United Arab Emirates. Some suggests it could be the remains of Saddam Hussein’s secret fortune.
Of course, take the whole thing with an enormous grain of salt — a press contact for the airport to told the story was a modern urban myth.
That may be true — 20 billion euros is so huge, Even so, if you know any more about the alleged cash, Russia! Magazine helpfully lists the contact details for Sheremetyevo’s lost and found.
So if ya reading this come and get ya cash......
Its waiting at the secure cargo reciving dock.

Just pick it up....

I am sure there would be some volunteers from treasurenet that will help ya count it for a fee.
