The People Behind Missing Money News
Our team is made up of journalists, researchers, and consumer advocates who share a common goal: helping people recover the money that belongs to them. We combine investigative reporting skills with deep knowledge of state unclaimed property systems, escheatment laws, and consumer protection regulations.
Editorial Team
Our writers and editors bring years of experience covering personal finance, consumer rights, government policy, and legal affairs. Every article we publish goes through a rigorous editorial review to ensure accuracy, clarity, and fairness. We fact-check claims against official government sources and court records before publication.
Research Team
Our researchers monitor all 50 state treasury unclaimed property databases, federal unclaimed asset programs, and legislative changes that affect how unclaimed money is reported, held, and returned. This ongoing research fuels our state-by-state guides, news coverage, and scam alerts.
Our Standards
- Accuracy first — we verify all claims against primary sources including state treasury offices, court filings, and government databases
- No conflicts of interest — we do not accept payment from finder services, asset recovery companies, or any entity we cover editorially
- Transparency — when we make a mistake, we correct it promptly and note the correction in the article
- Reader service — every piece we publish aims to be genuinely useful, whether it helps you find $50 in an old bank account or avoid a $500 scam
