I very seriously doubt anybody keeps $2.5 million just sitting, uninvested, in their account. But in any case, it appears to me as though the source is talking about those who profit illegally from insider info--"Take the money and run" before anybody notices. <snip> > Here is another unnamed source with a contrary view. > > "Some cite an alleged occurance of a $2.5 million gain that hadn't > been claimed as of September 29, 2001.

Actually, real-world experience and rational thinking would suggest that virtually nobody leaves $2.5 million sitting uninvested for decades.
