What would you do if you found $200 K in a bag on the street?

[Siddhartha]

I just saw a Yahoo article about the guy who found $150 K.

What would you do if you found a large amount of money?

What are the legal oblicgation besides paying taxes?

Hmm id take it. and worry about the problems it might cause later, like after i spent it.

Put it under my mattress and keep my mouth shut.

 

[Lonyo]

Check if the bills were sequential or not.

long vacation.

 

[daveymark]

i thought it was $140k. either way, they only gave him a $2k reward. should have given him 10%

Call the police.

 

[George P Burdell]

Hand it over to the cops.

 

[maddogchen]

pretty much.

how do bills get processed anyways? I mean, let's say it was sequential numbers, would it ever raise any red flags if you were only spending like $20 at a time?

When money laundering comes in handy.

Buy lots of high grade pot in bulk, hire a few thugs and sell them for profit.

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

not finders keepers?

Ceramic or plastic pot?

And I'm not sure high grade thugs would appreciate turning tricks for you. :laugh:

On a side note - I would likely have a moral dilemma lasting about 6 seconds, grab the bag and take off, remove all the bills and promptly burn the bag and bill binders if any. I would then stash the funds in several safe deposit boxes while holding on to maybe 10k in cash for the first year, using that 10k for things like groceries and such, and probably paying on a few of my bills.
