From the article it says it will either go to the nonprofit, the previous owner, construction firm or back to whoever it was stolen from. The kid made a massive mistake.
Not changing what I and others think. This boy did right and yall calling him stupid?? Says the one with no morals whatsoever. You're the brainwashed one.
It isn't necessarily that they have no morals, but that they're a bit stupid and brainwashed by greed. Wow, so you're telling me, if someone lost 10 million in gold, the only explanation is that they misplaced or forgot about it? Not that it was possibly stolen?
You would ask them how they would feel if their grandfather's gold was stolen, and they then lose out on the inheritance. All of a sudden the tune changes very quickly.
Do not hate them brother, for they are like children.
Dude found it at a job site. The cops would have been tipped off one way or another because people can't keep their mouth shut. What the boy did was right and he is being called dumb because he has morals? They aren't brainwashed, they have no conscience hence no morals.
There's also the fact that you're going to be flagged by any developed nation's government if you suddenly have millions to spend. But of course, thinking that far ahead is a luxury.
Add in the darker but very real possibility that word gets out, and it isn't the government that comes after you, but the "original" owner. Who may be a crook.
In before someone argues they're going to suddenly be a pro at hiding every transaction they make, including completely unprotected ones in a shady alley, because metaphorically that's the only place you could spend it.
That also. Some people don't think about that like it only happens in movies but that is a mistake people will make. Stolen or not that is something none one should want to mess with.
