“What’s the twist?”

“Good luck explaining all this to the IRS without going to prison.”

“…I’m fucked.”

Free cash based purchases for the rest of your life. A dollar spent in cash is a dollar saved in your bank account.

But you're actually fine. If you can get it into a bank account, just make sure to report the "gift" income to the IRS. The FBI might be interested but if you're not involved in criminal activity they'll soon leave.

Alphabetboy: And who gifted you this if I may ask ?

Oh and he lives in the jar on the left kitchen shelf

What if you go to the IRS and thell them you found all this money in your basement. The cash is all real, it's not stolen, no one knows where it's from and no one is missing it. Couldn't you pay taxes on it like when you win the lottery and it's legally yours?

I could easily spend $1M without arousing suspicion.
