And if you don't own this film, you must! It's Dean Martin (singing) in a John Wayne film, Rio Bravo, and you should know who the young lad with the guitar is. He was very famous in your country.
It’s a bit related to that other thread, but I’m posting it here not to interfere with the lists people want to do.
I actually think that as long as you don’t make a big fuss, like splash out huge amounts of cash which will make people notice you, and you learn to live without certain things, it wouldn’t be very hard.
With disappear now, I mean not leave any trace at all. Not have any mail delivered, not have any bank account, no travels which involves scanning of passport, no renting or buying anything where it will require an ID, no credit cards, no address under your name.
I also think that you wouldn’t have to take of to central Botswana, some remote village in Mongolia or hide in Siberia. I think you could easily disappear in a big city, and even a small town.
What steps would be necessary, do you reckon?
Step 1: You would be allowed contact with family, but they could never be allowed to know where you are, or how to contact you. You would contact them. But how? A phone call can be traced, as can an email. A letter's postage stamp reveals where you're sending it from.
Don't speak of this to much. This is an American site, isn't it? Someone might file a lawsuite demanding a million for not finding the love of their life on here during the entire twelve days they spent waiting for someone to find their profile.
In that case, it is Karma which has made it possible for me to get 10,000.000 of the banks money. Like I said, big banks are nasty creeps fooling us all, so it's Karma catching up with them then. Either way, I see no bad Karma on my behalf.
I think there must be. On one of my visits to The Dominican Republic, when withdrawing money, I would never get to pick the amount at the ATM I was using close to the hotel. It would always give out the maximum amount. After a few days, when checking on my bank over the phone, every time I'd withdrawn, two had been registered, with a few seconds interval. I'd get one sum, but twice that sum was taken off my account. Coming back, VISA sorted it out for me.
Yeah, well, I don't think the problem would be in finding a dodgy bank in the West Indies, or somewhere else, the problem would be with the bank where we currently have the money. As Riz mentioned, any transfer above $10,000 is checked, where I suspect they would be onto us.
My plan involves trading the money into something not kept in a bank. Diamonds, maybe. A £20-30,000 withdraw, enough to keep me afloat of quite a while, the rest somehow cleverly used on a purchase which fits in a suitcase.
Fine, go spend and splash about as much cash as you want. Buy houses to the left and right of you want. The fact remains. They will be on to you within a week, usually not within the time you can move into any house, so you'll be owning a house or several for a week, which not you or your family ever gets to move into, which will be taken away from you once they have found the error.
Congratulations to having owned stuff for a week which you must return or pay back for.
Meanwhile, I'll be somewhere still living off my money years from when you've been incarcerated.
Getting away with it is that you get to keep the money and whatever you use it for, for the rest of your life.
Spending it is just some lists people will begin to post of what they'd buy if they won the lottery or whatever.
ARealGuy can speak for himself, but when we crossed posts about it in another thread where I said he should start a thread about it, it was not listing stuff to buy, it was getting the money, for keeps.
Of course. I've found wallets during the years, once with a LOT of money in it. I've always returned them. Without hesitation.
It has happened many times that someone working a cash register mistakenly has given me change back on a lot more than I handed to her/him, I have always pointed it out.
This, however, to me is different. It's stealing no doubt, but it's stealing from a thief. Like from an insurance agency, among the worst thieves in the world. Or finding a suitcase full of Colombian drug money, what would you do with that, hand it in to the cops?
Well, then there was a misunderstanding between us, because my idea was to set up a plan as to get away with as much as possible. Not to spend as much as possible within a week. I could spend all of it at once in one night at a Casino, but where's the point with that? And you could buy every one in your family five houses each in a luxury resort, but what's the point when after a week they're taken away from them.
No, my idea was how to get away with it. How do you run away with as much as possible of $10mil, without getting caught.
First of all. How do we get hold of the money without alerting attention?
It's not like we can go to an ATM and withdraw. And going into the bank to transfer to a Cayman Island bank account, I'm sure that over a certain limit, they double and triple check.
The key is to get the money out of the bank somehow, in cash (which would most likely be impossible, and an insane attempt), or a transfer.
A transfer to another bank seems less likely than a purchase of sort. Bonds, or gold.
Let's take this to another thread, what do you say? You start it, and we'll plan together where to go and how to get as much of it as possible with us.
That's an interesting topic worth a thread on its own. If you got that sort of money transferred to your account, and had a week to sort out a plan, what would you do?

How easy would it be to disappear?
