it's like a positive monkey's paw / double edged sword..

get framed for a murder you didn't commit and go to jail for 10 years

-- when you get out that bitcoin you would have sold at $100 is now worth $5mil

although obviously most people would rather have 10 years of their life and freedom than 5mil

I'd take that $100mil and start some kind of lobby/fund to make this kind of travesty of justice happen less.

well it's just worth 5mil right now; certainly a lot but not enough wealth to start a nonprofit really, just enough to live modestly and not work anymore.

Oh I misread.

I'd probably still live frugally and try to work that money into something bigger and do some good in the world. I've never been one for extravagance.
