How's this for a marital investment strategy:
"Ling and Paul Mueller married in 2009 and separated in 2017. During their marriage, they cultivated cannabis and buried the proceeds on their property."
How much did they bury, you might ask?
$600,000. In cash.
There are so, so many things that can go wrong in this scenario. The one that ends up transpiring here is that after separating, the wife digs up the majority of the cash and spends it. Leading -- as one might well expect -- to a fairly bitter divorce fight.
I know that there are tough banking restrictions on marijuana proceeds, especially back in the old days.
But still. The "buried treasure" strategy is probably not the most optimal of choices.
