hell yea id take it if it was untracable, but if anything looked suspicious id drop it like its hot and get out. then id open a bank account and depoist small ammounts of the money into it until half was in there then a quater would be invested and the other quater to spend however i choose.. but that would mean the ammount give would have to be pretty large

Well, it really is difficult to say what would be the right route to take. Nothing is infallable, and something which people think is untracable/stealth can always be picked up. Take for instance the Australian Jindalee Over the Horizon Radar System, it can pick up American stealth aircraft 1000's of miles away when the American's are adamant that their stealth tech is invisible to radar. oOo:
I've always pretty much worked for my money. Would I take a handout of a few million if I didnt have to work a cent for it ?? Hell yes. But taking counterfeit money is whole other ball game. It's dishonest, unlawful, and when dealing in unlawful activities there is always the chance of getting caught.
I would have to say no to it.

Depends on several X factors.
1. How much? Is it enough for me to live on, or just a few hundred dollars?
2. Lump sum or gradual payments? If I get a shitload of money all at once, it would be very tempting to go buy a ferrari and new house. When the IRS takes notice, I get audited and spend some quality time in "Pound-me-in-the-ass Federal Prison"
3. Who\How do I get it from?
Depending on these variables, I MIGHT take the money.

Nah. At first glance, it seems like the right thing to do, but i don't think i could go through with it. It's the wrong thing to do.
Besides, Australia's economy is fucked enough without my pouring millions of counterfeit dollars into it. All this considered i'd have to say 'No'
and Germ, just because i don't believe in Heaven or Hell doesn't mean i don't have a moral code biggrin:

Fuck...c'mon now.....HELL YA!! evil:
You aren't hurting anybody, and you aren't going to do the economy any harm....you would need tens of millions of dollars to even start to make a little ripple in the economy.
