Distributing nearly $1 million of cash found at the site of the collapsed Champlain Towers condominium in Surfside has emerged among the numerous challenges related to the tragedy, according to reports.

The exact amount of the cash found by rescue workers isn’t known, but estimates range between $750,000 and $1 million, according to the Miami Herald and WPLG-Ch. 10.

“It can’t be tied to a particular floor, it can’t be tied to a particular unit and it can’t be tied to a particular owner,” attorney Michael Goldberg, the receiver for the condominium association, told the Herald.

The 12-story Champlain Towers South partially collapsed June 24. The rest of the 136-unit condominium complex was eventually brought down for safety.

There’s hope the money, much of which is badly damaged, can be redeemed by the U.S. Department of Treasury, Goldberg told Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman during Thursday’s hearing that discussed a class-action lawsuit and other legal issues.

Goldberg hopes to return the cash to its owners or establish a general fund for distribution. Some of the money found in purses or wallets might be able to be returned to its owners. However, much of the cash was loose and will end up in a general fund.

It’s not yet clear how that process will be handled. Goldberg and Hanzman might create a process that allows victims who lost cash to file a claim, according to the Herald.

“I will give everybody the right to be heard,” Hanzman said.

Goldberg said 17 safes were found. They still must be opened, and their owners notified.

However, all that loose cash, whose owners are unknown, has a tougher distribution process.

“I guess that’s a little surprising — the amount,” Hanzman said of the recovered money.
