If they try to prosecute, just claim temporary insanity. No jury would convict.

The gov sent a friend of mine 800k by mistake. He cashed the check and hid the money and ended up in jail for 2 years for attempting to impede a federal audit.

400,000/yr for sitting in the can is not bad if he didn't return the money. did he return the money or part of it?

This has to be the greatest heist ever.

http://money.cnn.com/2012/10/12/new....html?hpt=hp_t3

"Unknown thieves stole a "large amount" of newly-designed $100 bills bound for a Federal Reserve facility in New Jersey on Thursday, the FBI said.

Frank Burton, Jr., spokesman for the FBI's Philadelphia division, said the theft occurred at some point between when the shipment of bills landed at the Philadelphia airport on a commercial flight from Dallas at 10:20 Thursday morning, and when the shipment reached its New Jersey destination around 2:00 p.m., when the courier service transporting the bills reported some missing.

Burton declined to comment on the amount taken, but said it was substantial."

He returned the money and got his charges reduced to 2 years in jail on a plea bargain. His lawyers fee was $75,000.00.

Let's not get too negative.

Maybe they thought he had talent - in fact another Bill Gates !
