Do Our Brands Have Unclaimed Money Sitting With the State?

A quick read on whether iHeartRaves, INTO THE AM, and Emazing Group are owed any unclaimed property, and the free way to find out.

Prepared for Will and Brian · June 19, 2026 · Source: ABC7 report on California unclaimed property
TL;DR

What "unclaimed property" actually is

In day-to-day operations it's easy for money to go dark: a refund to a bank account we closed, a vendor credit we never cashed, a utility or lease deposit, an insurance or escrow payout. When a holder can't reach the owner, they're legally required to turn it over to the state after a dormancy period. The state holds it indefinitely until the rightful owner claims it. There's no deadline to claim, and no cost.

The three entities we'd search

Unclaimed property is matched on the exact registered name, so each brand should be searched under every spelling and legal variant it has used. Will, please confirm the exact registered legal names so nothing gets missed.

How we check (free, official only)

California State Controller
The official California database. This is the one referenced in the ABC7 report.
MissingMoney (NAUPA)
Official multi-state search. Covers California plus other states the companies have operated or banked in. Run both.
One warning before anyone acts on this

Never pay a "finder" or respond to a text/email/call offering to recover unclaimed money for a percentage. Claiming is always free on the two sites above. The paid services simply skim a fee off money we are entitled to for free. If a request to claim comes in from anywhere other than those official sites, treat it as a scam.

Recommended next step
  1. Will confirms the exact registered legal names for all three entities (and any prior DBAs / dissolved entities).
  2. We run both official sites on every name variant and capture screenshots of any hits.
  3. If anything shows up, Will leads the claim through the official portal. No third party, no fee.

Worst case it's 10 minutes and we confirm there's nothing. Best case there's money we forgot we had.
