A previously recorded clip of boys discovering a bag of cash has surged in popularity on social media following the recent floods in Nepal.
A video that was filmed years ago, showing a group of boys opening a bag and finding cash, has resurfaced on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook after the devastating floods that hit Nepal earlier this month. The clip, which does not contain any footage of the flood itself, quickly amassed millions of views as users shared it alongside flood‑related posts.
The timing of the video’s resurgence coincided with a wave of online content about the disaster, leading many viewers to assume the footage was captured in the aftermath of the floods. Fact‑checking agencies, however, have clarified that the recording predates the calamity and is unrelated to any rescue or relief activity.
Social media users have expressed a mix of curiosity and skepticism, with some commenting on the irony of a cash‑finding scene gaining attention amid a humanitarian crisis. The video’s spread underscores how unrelated content can become entangled with major news events in the digital age.
Authorities in Nepal have not commented on the video, focusing instead on ongoing relief operations. Meanwhile, online platforms continue to flag the clip as unrelated to the flood, urging users to verify the source before sharing.
