You find a suitcase with £1 million in it. What would you do

[Tuvra]

If your in business, I guess you could stuff piles of notes into brown envelopes and buy a few million pounds worth of contracts? That still goes on nowadays right?

I'm here, not sure what help I can offer though

Are you 6 foot 2 inches tall and twice as thick ? Did you get thrown out of a full time paid job as professional rugby league player, for taking drugs ? Do you work in 'security' and would you do it for free if they let you hit more people ? Are your hands made of steel and your brain made of jelly? If so, you might be the 'personal assistant' that I'll need.

Nope. The bank notes get changed regularly.

Spend the big notes on little things, get change in the 'current' bank notes.

Hell I do it on nights out, use a £20 to buy the first drink as I can't be bothered to count change out, same with the second maybe the third, then the tenners get used and I end up with a pile of coins at the end (And I've probably only spent £30/40 ).

I'd use it as pocket money and use enough of my wages on bigger things to keep it all looking legit.

I'm not sure this works.

Pay to become a qualified financial advisor. They teach you about money laundering in order to be able to identify it so that you aren't used as a part of the scam.

Then you know how to launder it and can make money from being a financial advisor if you so wish.

The problem with playing the long game is, during that period of time, what if the notes change?

If that looks likely change into gold, watches etc.

What's the problem with the the notes not being current issue? They don't stop being legal tender.

No but eventually if you've got enough of them the only place you can get rid of them is to the bank. At which point the years of diligent attention avoidance are undone.

It clearly worked out well for him

and thats the problem , he got away with it for over 10 years , but the dynamics changed when he'd had enough , either wanting out or more money , or the 'management' structure changed.

Anything involved with drug running comes with a price and my friend paid the ultimate price,

the case remains open on police files as no-one was ever charged with his murder and £141000

was found in his office safe at the time he was killed.

I'm just below 6 foot, got told not to play rugby union again because I tore my achilles tendon, I work in IT so if anyone has any ideas I can and will sign them up to as many free emailers as possible, also my pre mentioned work in IT has made my brain jelly and my typing muscles on my hands similar to steel, will work for 1 bacon roll per day and as many cans of coke as I can drink, is that close enough?

Why is it you think that so many takeaway food places still don't take Debit or Credit Card in these modern times...

I spent 40 quid on gift wrapped boxes of fudge from a little fudge shop in Cornwall the other week, and was surprised that they didn't have a card machine. All produce made on the premises from raw materials, cash business. Yes, absolutely sure they will be 100% above board...

I'd hide it under my bed, go out and legitimately buy a E60 M5 then use it as my every day car with out worrying about fuel and running costs

i reckon dubai is one of few places in the world where i could simply march into the bank and deposit the cash no questions asked, or at the very least buy a few supercars for cash straight out of the showroom and flog them on.

with the money secured i'd fly to the uk and go see if a certain someone wanted to come travel the world with me. if she said no [likely] then i'd go on my own and drink her off my mind.

My honest side says: Try to find to owner of the money and claim a small reward and maybe stablish a link for a future joint venture.

My rational side says: Save 75% of the money and the other spend it in shallow luxury stuffs

All sounds great, but the type of coke he takes, doesn't come in Cans.
