He spent two years dealing with the state directly and could not satisfy them that it was his. They refused him.\nWhen Reclaim contacted him, he told them he already knew the money was real, that he had tried and failed, and that they were welcome to try. It took a year and a half. He was paid $225,000.\nRicky Maldonado is CEO and co-founder of Reclaim, a nationwide service helping people recover unclaimed money held by state agencies. He joins AssetFynd CMO Shaun Jackson to discuss why claims stall, what proof states actually require, and why the hardest part of the job is convincing people the money is real.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/0m__5RBfdLc_6Pe6ub3n3LsB8F_21zK0PvT-lLscjl8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82ODM2/MWIzYTY3YThhMzk2/OGZlODg5OTQ1OWQw/NDg3Mi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
