Man hides 140,000 pounds in aunt's grave...

I have no idea if that is true or not. However, it takes considerably more than the permission of a Priest to dig up a grave. So I would take the story with a shovel full of salt, if I were you.

They dug her up and took their share. I presume they reburied the rest :)

"...and recovered their 50,000 pounds share from the businessman" Not really a good businessman. With an average inflation of 2% per year after 20 years the money will be 50% less worth (1.02 ^ 20). If he would instead pay the 50,000 pounds taxes he'll only have 90,000 pounds left now, but even at an interest rate of 2% over 20 years he'll ends up with 140,000 pounds then. So what do we learn from this story? Either do it right or pay your taxes.

Yes this is amazing to see how many people assume they'll have more money by avoiding paying their taxes, and how governments often assume it is a good idea to just keep on spending in an out of control fashion...

He was trying to stiff the tax man, but they uncovered his plot!
