How would you know that it's not a great fortune in the local currency that OP uses? You living in the same country as OP? I wouldn't say that because the fortune of someone is relative to which country you're living from, say for example you're a millionaire in a poor country but it doesn't mean anything in a rich country, you might just be a minimum wage earner in that rich country but that don't mean that you have to say it's not worth a lot, if it can change OP's life or turn their lives around for the better then it's worth a lot. In regards to how OP would be able to get it out without the worry of taxes, do a P2P trade so you're cutting the away the platform and deal directly with other people.
