I heard the theory that the plane workers made it up to steal the money. I think it was on a Lemmino video

Watched that video now, it's not mentioned there.

Yeah I don't really remember where I got that from. As the other comment pointed out it's probably not true anyway.

I think that theory was one of the top comments on lemmino's video when I watched it a while back
