"Cooper was never found, although some of the cash he took was discovered through matching serial numbers in 1980..."
...which is the very year a fantastic California new wave band called D.B. Cooper released their first of two albums. They soon fell into obscurity, but are remembered by weird people like myself who think that their fake Elvis Costello-isms are often better than the real thing.
Never heard of them, but your description is a good one.
As for Cooper, its an interesting theory but they didn't post many details of the "code" and didn't explain why some of the money was found in a location no one expected to find it. If he had planted it there, then why did he choose a spot where no one would expect it, and the money deteriorated for years before being found by an 8-year old.
Also, the FBI supposedly monitored all of the serial numbers and none of the money was ever spent, so if he did survive the jump then why didn't he ever spend any of the money?
If he was ex-CIA, then he probably would have had the ability to get the money out of the country, like to Mexico, South America, or Russia, and spend it or launder it there where it would eventually be detected by the FBI. But that never happened; none of the bills have ever been recovered anywhere in the world except for the ones found by the kid along the river.
