In the expected change of fate, the Chilean man became a millionaire overnight, thanks to his 6 -year -old bank book.
Ten years after the death of her father, Exequiel Hinojosa begged through the things of her late father when he found a six -year bank ticket and changed his assets forever.
Reuters first announced the story in 2022 and now became a viral again.
Between 1960-70, Father Exequiel saved money to buy a house. According to a viral image of Passbook and several media messages an old man saved £1.4 Lakh that never used.
With an interest of 6 decades and adjusting inflation, EXEQUIEL received an incredible $ 1.2 million ( £10 crore).
Here’s what happened:
No one in the family knew about a specific bank account and savings of their father.
The vendue book remained into the box for 10 years after his father’s death until he hit him during the house cleaning.
Exequiel decided to withdraw his father’s savings just to find out that his father’s bank had long been closed.
In a general scenario, this would mean that the depositor was unnecessary and the money disappeared.
Exequiel, however, had a major detail: a stamp, which says, “Status guaranteed”. This promise indicated that the government would take over control if the bank could not make payments.
However, the Chilean government initially refused to worship the obligation.
Exequiel then fought a long legal battle to solve it with the state.
“This money is our family. He saved it by working really hard,” he said, adding that the family did not even know that the depositor existed until you find it.
“I never thought that this process would turn into a law against the state,” Exequiel added.
But the journey of EXEQUIEL to become a millionaire was not easy; Despite the multiple court decision in its favor, the government appealed at every step – led the legal battle to the Supreme Court in the country.
He argued that the funds represented heavily earned savings of his father, which were secured by the government’s obligation.
“If the judicial system, the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal in its favor, is all that is left to solve the problem is to pay what is due, nothing more, nothing smaller,” Exequiel said.
Finally, in 2022, the Supreme Court decided in its favor, forced the government to compensate him with 1 billion Chilean pesos (approximately £10 crore), together with accumulated interest and posts.
