The U.S. Attorney's office in Massachusetts released a photo Monday of $20 million in cash stuffed into a box spring of a mattress in an apartment.
The money was seized as part of an investigation into a $1 billion pyramid scheme. Authorities allege that a Massachusetts-based company called TelexFree was aggressively marketing VOIP service by recruiting promoters that would post ads for the product on the Internet.
The scheme allegedly operated between January 2012 and March 2014.
