I'm a German-Polock-Ukie. Let's keep the original premise going, if possible.
"It is a crime to not understand money when it falls in your lap unexpectedly."
It should be a crime to not understand the concept. I once opened my mailbox to find a letter from a friend that was away visiting in Washington state. I opened the envelope to find two bearer bonds worth $80,000.00 each and a sweet note asking if I would take them to her bank.
As an added incentive, I want to retire on the Isle of Skye- as it seems so much like Kansas. And a ferry-ride and train trip will get me to Edinborough. The people there are like me. Scotch folks are what I want as neighbors.
Please forgive me for that last line. There was no reason for me to be so nasty about it.
You did, didn't you? Charge her a commission of 5% for the successful completion- to be negotiated by trade of services or property. That's what Fat, Old Ben Franklin did years ago between countries.
I think this guy was just talking too much.
He should have kept quiet. Even drug dogs would have come up zero.
Contrary to popular opinion, being an *ssh*l* is suspicious. If nothing else it will earn you a police officer who will do all the i dotting and t crossing to make it very very annoying withing due process as they understand (or think they understand) it.
Look at Martha Stuart, a perfect example of the rewards of being an *ssh*l*.
Texasflower, I am sure you can teach young skulls full of mush with accuracy. Just make them show respect while you are speaking. Let them contest ideas when allowed by you.
I have a friend who works at a bank. According to him, any transaction over $600.00 dollars gets flagged.
On second thought, Put one bond in her bank for a deposit to her account. Create another account with the second under a seperate account for you as insurance under different numbers for "safekeeping". If you decide she had honorable intentions, it's all hers (with your fee). If un-honorable intentions were present, leave the $80K securitiees there for your picking a few weeks or months later.
I guess you didn't see my post at

I was mistaken in my tone and I apologized to him for that. That was about 15 minutes before you posted to me.
I'm sure you have seen it by now.
And you rode around in a car and got pulled over by police and you didnt have a legitimate explaination and proof of the transactions? If you were like this guy, with tons of money and no real reasons for it, police would start to wonder. You would have not had anything to worry about.
That shouldn't be too hard.
"Is it a crime to have money?"
Ask Al Capone.
what were you selling to a university that would have brought you that kind of money? Office supplies and bulk foodstuffs would be the only things that I could think would be in that high of a demand.
Yep, you can always say "No", and then the officer suspects you are concealing something illegal, and has cause to search....Right up there with "Have you quit beating your wife yet?"
So that's where I left the money.
Just call the Kimble County Sherrif's office.
See, he's telling the truth. I really did leave it on his doorstep.
It's payment for the Girl Scout Cookies I ordered.
Did they find drugs? So now it's illegal to have too much money? That seems to be the perfect extension of the Democrat philosophy. Goodness knows, if he has too much money, he must be guilty of something! He looked nervous! It's right there in the Constitution, if he looks nervous and has a lot of money, he needs to go to jail. And let the government keep that nasty, dirty, evil money.
Ah, our friend the "patriot" act. Sure seems like a terrorist to me. But I thought the "patriot" act only tossed the Constitution out to catch terrorists? Well, at least they caught an evil money transporter. And kept the money.
