Ok, fun question! You find a suitcase with a million quid in it. No possible way anyone could know you've got it. What would you do? And before you ask, no I bloody well haven't found one!

Being as I did the original posting, I ought to add my contribution. Firstly, 98% of you are dishonest, as you've decided to keep the money. Shame on you all ! Mind you, if you were honest enough to hand it in. some idiot would blabber to the comics, and your name would be all over the front pages as a (stupidly) honest citizen. Thus the drug ring who 'lost' it would soon be on your tail. So onto how to get rid of it. Little and often is my method. According to the FSA, there are 154 banks in the UK. Plus a few building societies. So, let's say pick 50, and open up a simple account in each. Right, that's now £20,000 per bank. Divide that by say 50 weeks for the year, thus you've got to deposit £400 into each bank each week. So each week, make it a random amount ± £50 on the £400. Then via internet banking, send the monthly input on each account abroad to a 'friendly' country. One year later, all the £1,000,000 is abroad. Then close all bank accounts. Leave country. Now where did I put that suitcase ?

I've decided to resurrect this topic, see if any new or amusing ideas arise

Quite a few here have hit on the best idea. Create a business that depends on mostly cash input, and doesn't have stock to be accounted for. Then each day, bank the days 'takings', random plausible amounts, and when you've absorbed the £1m, shut it down.
