Like a lot of trouble, the worst doesn't come from strangers, it comes from people you know. By all accounts, what happens is that anyone who knows you comes out of the woodwork and suddenly wants a favor, or a small loan, or an investment in their brilliant business idea, and of course you're the asshole if you deny any of them. If you can't keep it a secret entirely, it's best to at least lock up the money somewhere so that you can blame the big mean lawyer who is "making" you be responsible and not blow it all on your second cousin's crypto app.
