Austrian woman shreds money & shades family

An Austrian woman just pulled the biggest stunt, that left her family gagging. The unnamed 85-year-old woman decided to destroy the equivalent of $1.1 million, just so her family wouldn’t be able to cash in on her hard earnings.

The woman, who knew her time was coming to an end and that her family would inevitably inherit every last cent of her life savings, spent her last days on earth ruining her savings account books and shredding 950,000 euros, which is the equivalent of $1.1 million. We don’t know much about this woman, except for the fact that she is now at the top of the “Shadiest People on Earth” list.

But even after shredding the cash, she didn’t stop there. In a final act of shadiness, she put the shredded cash in her bed. It’s not confirmed how long the money was in her bed, but we can assume, or pretend, that this woman slept on her bed covered in mutilated money. This woman was a queen. A revolutionary. A boss bitch.

Unfortunately, her final act of defiance may have been in vain. Austria’s central bank, OeNB, is stepping in on the case and are looking to change the outcome of what the woman did. They have told the family that they are willing to replace all of the cash, all $1.1 million of it, but the family needs to do their part, according to Friedrich Hammerschmidt, deputy head of the OeNB cashier division.

“If the heirs can only find shreds of money and if the origin of the money is assured, then of course it can all be replaced,” he said. “If we didn’t pay out the money then we would be punishing the wrong people.”

In other words, the family has to take the money and piece it together. We can only hope that their granny is laughing at them from the other side as they piece together the world’s worst puzzle.
