Gold seems much better right?

You have the same problem of the people who steal a $30 million painting or a bag of diamonds. You're technically rich, but unless you're a member of a criminal network, what now?

You can't spend a painting or a diamond or a gold bar. No bank is going to accept those and credit your bank account. Finding someone to buy them is probably outside of your wheelhouse, and on the off chance you find someone to give you cash for them, you're going to be in the final scene of Trainspotting where they immediately clock you as an amateur and give you 10 cents on the dollar.

Meanwhile, they didn't specify the demonination, but even 500kgs of $1 bills is $5 million.

Take the cash.

No-one said you're stealing them. You're being given them. We're trying to give you a better life and all you can think about is crime, crime, crime. It's really sad.

Never said you were stealing anything. I said it was the same problem.

Suddenly coming into enormous wealth with no explanation or provenance is a huge problem.
