A question of morality ? Integrity ? Ethics ? All ? :-)

Hypothetical situation:

You can acquire perfect counterfeit money (the reason for it being illegal is
because it wasn't printed at an official mint), untraceable and can easily be
converted into real money through small amounts conversion in hundreds of
local stores. Would you take the opportunity or refuse ? Whatever your final
answer, please give a detailed explanation supporting your position. Thank
you for your consideration and please refrain from spamming in this thread.
Again, thank you for your participation.

When it comes to crimes there is always a flaw in the system, so I would rather not take the money and earn it the hard way!

Then you're a chump!

I;d take it simply because you said it was untraceable and can be converted through outlets, but I wouldn't throw it about, that would make people ask questions.

id do it. survival of the fittest. most people are corrupt when the opportunity presents itself, but if you were to take that chance, then you have to be prepared to deal with the consequences. but i would only do it for neccesities like groceries, not a new car or anything.

I should again stress that this is a hypothetical situation. In it, you are
untraceable, the money is also untraceable and no one would ever really
know what has happened. I ask one more time: would you still refuse ?

As a future investor i would accept the money only if i knew it wasn't being distributed in a massive public distribution. If you specifically received the money, then it won't matter too much. However if the money is given to tons of people then no. Inflation would definatly go up and the value of the money is not even worth much in the first place. If you could convince enough people not to do it (hahah what a joke) then we wouldn't have a problem.

Ok when it is tax time and you have to report all your income what do you do? I'm seriously not a money crazy person and would do anything to win money....its just all hard work and blue colarism for me
