That check would bounce!

Even if you did transfer $80m, a week is hardly enough time to enjoy it. I'd say it would be a more appealing offer if the time-frame was extended to a year.

No, the money is good.  You're lucky I give you a week.  Originally, I was going to kill you first and then give the money to your family!  At least you get to enjoy it.

What's in the arrangement for you? You spend an exorbitant amount of money to kill a person and you leave a clear paper trail, so you'll get convicted.

Ignoring logic for the sake of the hypothethcial question- It just wouldn't be worth it!

And here we are, at the meat of things.

 

I was watching the news today.  It's a little known story about this guy who might have died wrongfully.  Anyway, the city is offering his family like $75 million to settle.  for the living, that's a ton of money!  For the deceased, not so much.  How do you put a numerical value on a human life?  I don't know how i would feel if it were someone I genuinely loved.  For me, no amount of money is worth my life bedause I'm me.
