I didn't count it... I was probably 9-10 years old. It was a pretty surreal experience, honestly. I do remember that it was real, my parents talked to him, i guess he was a reasonably well known real estate guy in our area.

In retrospect, it's even stranger. I couldn't fathom cold-knocking at a random house and offering the owners a suitcase of money. Double++ bizarre making the pitch to a little boy. That said, we had alot of interesting stories from that house and neighborhood, this one isn't even the strangest!

This is exactly what the Purple Man did in the Jessica Jones Netflix series.

That’s awesome. I can’t watch that yet as my kid is too young for it.

Like I said, we had an interesting neighborhood... everything from a fugitive Nazi war criminal, to a crazy man with a rocket to mafia people.
