When they try to void the check, you should do what any typical American would do: sue them for causing emotional damage by getting your hopes up with that huge sum of money.

Legal action... it's the American Way!

... I've always been good to you. Please, just send a car to my house. Then I could drive to wherever we have the GAF plane ready. I want peanuts on the way there though, and a window seat. And have the movie be 101 Dalmations. Not the shitty one, the good one. And peanuts! :mad: PEANUTS!

Actually earning a rate of interest greater than what could be charged upon you for keeping it may be the smartest thing ive ever heard.

Would you get penalised for that also? Even if you payed them back + the interest they demand?

GA has got to be the only place where someone would come to post on a forum as soon as they got a $4 million check from the government.

Heh... if I could concoct a good enough cover story (i.e: the idea of having this cheque around and having it go missing scared me to death), I'd consider depositing it into a bank account. Even at 1%, that's over $100 in interest/day.

EDIT: And of course, if you were (very very very) brave and didn't have anything to leave behind, cashing it the heck out and leaving the country before anyone knew what was going on would be a serious consideration :)

bank the money, transfer the money to another bank and then withdraw all of it and put it in one of those safety deposit places and dispute it for ages.

Invest it in another currency that isn't doing quite so badly as yours. Like the pound, for example. And hey, whaddya know, I'm from the UK, so I can help you with that :) (and pay off my credit card and student loans at the same time...)

He's Northern (i.e., Scouse or Geordie) and thus a thief by default. Best not trust him.

Actually I was born in Peterborough, so I'm not a "proper" northerner. But if I was I wouldn't be a scouser - wrong area of the country. In any case, it's not called "thievery", it's called "10% commission fee" :lol

Peterborough eh. I know some good lads from down that way. Poor fuckers have to live there to make their magazine. They say it's a bit 'quiet'.

You can still get private, numbered accounts. Send it me and I'll open one for you over here.

Welcome to the club :D

edit:

watch out when you cash that thing, any thing over 10k gets flagged. If you are lucky enough to get a wire transfer to an over seas account, you won't be welcomed back in the US.

Good luck!

For a measly 100 000 USD i can school you on how to get chicks!

why spend it on hookers when you can have Pure unspoiled girls from sweden or any other country for that matter.

its not safe to sleep with girls that have sex with truck drivers and get paid for it!

this is what you would save money on if you go with my deal

1. you will save yourself from aids
2. save some money on regular visits to the hospital for your spots on your dick after you have had sex with hookers.
3. save money on condoms
4. you will have a life full of hotties that would do anything to suck your """""
5. you will get in to all the hot clubs as you are in the company of hot chicks

well thats just the tip of the iceberg my brother..

now give me some cash:)

Geromedy if you get away with it and need some investment advice PM me. Dealing with that kind of money you have to be careful.

This is assuming you stay in the US.

Buying your own island brings problems, i remember a story a few years ago about this guy who bought his own island and put a place on it for him and his mates to live outside the boundries of the law.


Then one day he returned to the island after a supply trip to find pirates had taken over (no shit, actual pirates). So the guy hired a band of mercenaries and went back to the island and 'forced them off the island' (read: Shot them all).

put it in savings, let the interest grow and then when the gov finally finds the error and asks for their 4 back, you've already made a nice chunk for yourself.

This is the best thing to do :D
