At 100k in 2021 dollars, it's not worth it to be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life. It's dirty money so you can't exactly use it as a down payment on a house or anything, it has limited utility. I'm amazed at how little money it costs to bribe someone, I wouldn't be remotely tempted to do something like this for less than a million. If Homer Simpson is anything to go by nuclear engineers aren't all that hard up for cash.
- _arvin 5y agoNo amount of money would do it for me. Can’t live a life like that. Don’t even need that much money so why would I risk it all? Not to mention it’s wrong on every level. Snowden did it the right way should there ever be a reason.
- willcipriano 5y agoI wouldn't do it myself morally speaking, but for a million you could retire in a cheap country and live relatively well. I could see why someone would make that choice. $100k isn't enough to do that, especially after you launder it.
