15 months for 1.5 million bucks? Seems like a pretty good deal to me.Originally Posted by SP1966
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I say not worth it. He has nothing to show for it. He should have gifted the money to a child / grandchild, bought a lambo or something tangible... Instead he tried to be a baller at the casinos and blew it.

Why did the guy stay in the US?
He could live like a king the rest of his life in French Samoa."Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle." - Psalm 144:1
Also, taxation is theft.

No desire to go to jail for that. Not enough money to waste 15 months of my life

Bury it deep somewhere in PVC tubes, capped and sealed shut. Prolly get out in 10-12 months, but the notoriety would have everyone shadowing him as soon as he got out... lose.. lose!Originally Posted by bodyhard

Do these machines really carry that kind of money? Or was he withdrawing 3000 a day? Most banks have limits - I would think the machine would stop even if it's not taken from his account
Not to be a killjoy, but there is no such thing. There is Samoa (formerly Western Samoa and before that belonging to New Zealand) and American Samoa (formerly a German possession). The French never owned anything nearby as fas as I know. I dream of Ta'u.Originally Posted by Marius_Ursus
