Yahoo! News - Man sued after finding cash in rubbish

Otra historia de exito entre los pepenadores...


A jobless Argentine who found $50,000 (27,200 pounds) buried in rubbish and promptly bought a house, two cars and a corner shop is being sued by a woman claiming her maid mistakenly had thrown out the cash.



"All I can say is that I am no criminal," Paulo Altamirano, a 46-year-old man who ekes out a living by collecting street garbage in the central city of Cordoba, was quoted as saying on Thursday by local DyN news agency.


Emilia Mascoy, a 70-year-old store owner, brought a lawsuit for fraud and demanded her money be returned. She says a maid mistakenly threw out the box of cash during a spring cleaning at her home, DyN reported.
