No, we didn't hide $10,000 cash in the treasure chests. Real pirates might have done that but we're not real pirates and we have to worry about things like taxes, updating our fans, degradation, publicity, and such.

Death and taxes

First, if you find a chest, you will have to pay taxes on our winnings. This is because we plan on writing off the $60,000 we pay out as an expense and the IRS will want to know who we paid the money to.

Updating our fans

Next, you deserve to know how many chests are left. If the finder of a chest could just take the cash, we'd have no way of knowing how many chests are left to be found. No, we didn't leave wifi cameras at each spot 🤔

Cash doesn't hold up

We're not talking about inflation. Cash degrades quick. It's literally made of paper and could you imagine what would happen to $10,000 in paper sitting outside? We're not even sending you cash. If you find a chest, you're getting a check. if you fly to our offices, we'll even present you with one of those big ones 🙌

We'll make you famous

The last reason is maybe the most important. Publicity! That's right. Our winners are going to have their photos plastered all over the internet - or at least all the pages and social channels we control. Should you find a chest, prepare to be famous 🤩🤩
