900 people --> $186M. That's $206K each.
That's a lot of money to put into a 'bank'.

That sounds a lot like the DEA estimates of how much the street value
of marijuana plants are ("Let's see, under ideal conditions this plant
could produce 2 kilos of product, and the highest price we've ever seen
for dope was $X/ounce, so this flat of 2" high seedlings is worth
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS!")  I bet the counted or double-counted the money
any time anything moved.

pretty similar in income and intellectual attainment to a great many people 
in the patriot movement.
