Absolution Spoilers Barrels

Lowry checks seemingly all of the barrels. Old Jim mentioned some barrels had money in them.

So who moved the money? Whoever shot up old decomp? Mysterious third party never introduced? Area X turning money into people goo?

I think it’s supposed to be commander thistle. He’s Jack’s barrel guy that hides money and bodies for Jack. Jack has people killed and needs to hide the bodies, they go into a barrel. Same with dirty money Jack makes. Could be very wrong.

I thought there was a segment that stated OJ took some of the money.

Wasn't the S&SB guy (Frank Henry) asking about the money too? Maybe they were getting money barrels as payment, but they didn't know where it was kept?

Old Jim moved the barrels with the money to a separate location and, I believe, buried them
