You're making a big mistake by completely failing to account for the inherent (not to mention quite large) uncertainties in this kind of situation.
A priori, it's not "40 days in jail == $800k payday", it's "some unknown number of days in jail and risk of a conviction in exchange for a chance at a payday of unknown value".
- OGWhales 5mo agoNot to mention, the side effects extend beyond jail time. For example, your name gets plastered everywhere too.
- account42 5mo agoThat still makes these kinds of settlements feel more like a lottery than fair compensation.
- usefulcat 5mo agoI agree, and that's part of the point. "Free money glitch" does not sound like a valid description of any lottery I've ever heard of. There's a reason (several, probably) why you don't actually see cases of police arresting each other and then suing to enrich themselves.
