Fynders Keepers

Hundreds of billions in lost financial assets are sitting unclaimed around the world. Dormant bank accounts, insurance policies, brokerage accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten estate assets. Money that was never collected because nobody knew it existed or where to find it. These unclaimed assets are collected and held by hundreds of governments and institutions across the world, waiting for someone to claim them. Fynders Keepers brings together the leading unclaimed property experts and practitioners from law, finance, compliance, corporate restructuring, banking, asset tracing and claiming, genealogy research, international heir finding and wills & estates to share practical insights and real stories from the people doing the work. Each episode features candid technical, and occasionally surprising conversations about the mechanics and challenges of locating and recovering lost assets, jurisdictional and cross border obstacles, ownership puzzles, the cases that took years, and the recoveries worth remembering. Brought to you by AssetFynd.

  Crypto's Dormancy Time Bomb, with Allen Osgood

  Aug 18, 202636 minS0

  <p>California law now makes crypto escheatable retroactively after three years of dormancy, and it took effect this January. Allen Osgood expects a wall of people to start receiving letters, and for it to continue every year from here.</p><p>The exposure is far wider than exchanges.

  "We don't have unclaimed property" is a red flag

  Aug 18, 202639 minS0

  <p>Most companies believe they have no unclaimed property. Samantha Petersen says that belief is usually the evidence that they do.</p><p>The exposure rarely appears on the books, because writing uncashed checks and credit balances off to income has been standard practice at many companies for decades. The liability does not disappear with the entry. For public companies it can sit inside the financial statements as an undisclosed loss contingency, and in an acquisition it transfers straight to the buyer.</p><p>Samantha has spent over 30 years in unclaimed property compliance. She is a certified fraud examiner, founder...

  The Insolvency Asset Hunt: Finding What the Balance Sheet Missed

  Aug 18, 202623 minS0

  <p>Margot MacInnis calls it the CSI of corporate insolvency. Once you hear how the work actually gets done, that stops sounding like a joke.</p><p>When a company collapses, most attention goes to debt and restructuring. The other half of the job is finding what the company actually owns, which is rarely what the balance sheet says. Records are scattered across jurisdictions, the people who understood the business have often fled, and in fraud driven cases the money is gone before the liquidator arrives.</p><p>Margot has spent 25 years in cross border insolvency, asset tracing and recovery...
