Question for the mall

If u could perform a mission that is illegal that would mean If successful u would never have to worry about money ever again. In fact you would be one of the wealthiest people whichever City/town u live in the world. Highly unlikely anyone would get hurt or killed.
You put every plan in place and your estimated chance of getting caught (which would mean a lengthy sentence to visit upinya83) is around 5%.....would u do it?

Not a trick question or anything like that, just answer honestly and u can fire legit questions my way which I can answer.

What would you tell the IRS (or NZ equivalent)?

It doesn't involve the IRS.

seems to me that only those who have nothing else going for them would take that chance. Can't conceive of anyone who has a family, loved ones, etc... risking all that for any amount of $$$.

Certainly I would not do so.

My answer is actually similar to Keith's. While its an exciting thought, I don't think I could ever bring myself to do it.

The above scenario was one I had recently put to me after helping a friend out with a job we could see a serious glitch in the set up, thats all I will say.

A joke about it over a beer from time to time is as far as it will ever go from here.

i fguess it depends where the money is comeing from. and also, you say yuou would be pretty wealthy; i would have to ask exactly how wealthy. wealthy enough to buyu out Bill Gates? or wealthy enough to buy the Mavs from Mark Cuban, or just wealthy enough to buy Cappersmall from Jack?
What is the 5% chance involve? Is it dependent on a whistle blower? is it dependnant on an audit? or does it depend on a clerk noticing the cents are rounding off? Finally, this activity that just speak off; what are the limitations for prosecution? do i have to fear i'll ge caught for the next 5 years? or for the next 15? Also, as always, even if you run the statue of limitations, you'll prob get caught by the IRS as you couldnt declare all that extra income.
WHich also brings another question. do you get all this cash in 1 windfall? or are you taking pennies a second?
