Assuming no one else is around and you don't see any houses or cameras nearby. What would you do?

No, Hell No.

Finding $1 million cash on the road, I'd probably keep it. If your traveling with that much cash, the chances are that it's being used for some kind of illegal purpose. Anyone who needs to transact with that kind of money for a legitimate purpose is probably doing a wire transfer of some other electronic means.

All the movies I've seen of people finding cash don't end well for the people finding cash.....

 

[Cyhig]

Return the cash; but there should be a 10% finders fee

 

[ClonerJams]

Not keeping it. I've seen No Country for Old Men

but that's just it. If it's has some illegal aspect to it you've now become an accomplice to the illegal activity. If caught sure you'd maybe get away with just a slap on the wrist but man I wouldn't want to take the chance that you don't get away with just a slap. I think my breaking point would be in the 5k range. Anything higher than that I just don't think the benefits of some sort of repercussions is worth it.

If you find a $100 bill on the ground and no one is around, sure. You find duffle bags with a million dollars, there will probably be someone looking for it, either good or bad. So you'd be sitting there with all that money worrying about being found.

Additionally, it would be hard to hide a million dollars for nearly everyone outside of Warren Buffet or Bill Gates, etc.

I hear prison is not fun so yeah, I'm giving it back.

First, when did the postal service start delivering cash. It was always armored cars when I worked there. The mailman is not one to trust these deliveries with.

I'm turning it in, I don't need this guy hunting me down...

Someone's grandma never sent them any birthday cards with $5 in them.

I'd keep it. Thank you to Llewelyn Moss for teaching me to go through it to find any tracking devices.

This. Anyone/any entity that transports 1 million in cash can’t be good. I’ll pass and keep an eye on the news for an execution style murder in the news in a few weeks. I’m leaving that **** right where it is.

5 bucks and a big bag of cash are a little different also.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

I'd probably keep a bit that "accidentally" got lost when it fell out onto the road. Finders fee if you will.

How do you know which bills are the bait bills?

 

[1100011CS]

I said 'yes' but not because it's the right thing to do. If you read the article, it was clearly money heading to a bank. No way you're getting away with that.

 

[Bret44]

HAVE YOU SEEN NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN OR THE FIRST SEASON OF FARGO?!?!

 

[aauummm]

Yes. turn it in. For me it's just a personal philosophy. If I didn't earn it, and deserve it then it isn't mine and I don't want it, not even tempted. Nice and simple and easy.
