3520. Did he receive it in the US in US dollars? Or is it/was it in foreign accounts belonging to him before it came stateside?

The more I know the more I don’t know.

No, he was the beneficiary of his aunts estate in UK.  The law firm in UK sent the money to his bank account here in the US.  The money was sent in UK dollars 99,999 and converted here in the US
