- sharkweek 14y ago600k for a business transaction, and a cashier's check wouldn't cut it...? If I'm to believe this is true in the first place, I can't imagine that money was legitimate
- timmaah 14y agoAnd why would he take lunch in the middle of the transfer? I'd high tail it from point A to B with no unnecessary stops.
- reinhardt 14y agoI'm always amazed and sceptical of such stories of people carrying a fuckton of money or other precious/confidential stuff on them and then forgetting them in a cab/subway/restaurant. I get uneasy with just three-digit amounts and check almost compulsively if my wallet is still in its place, and they guy manages to forget a briefcase with 600K? Doesn't add up.
- FuzzyDunlop 14y agoMy wallet is devoid of cash money and I compulsively check my pocket if I'm convinced it feels lighter than it should. All the time. But I've been mugged before, so am probably a lot more aware.
- terrapinbear 14y agoI started crying when I finished reading this.
- guylhem 14y agoReally?? Am I then too cynical to doubt the money was from a law-abiding business??
