    Uh uh, no way, not touching that cash, that is 1000% a mafia deal gone wrong and collecting on it is how you get disappeared

        You’d definitely have to declare it to the IRS minimum. But yeah, a national news story? You’re just asking for someone to ‘find’ proof it’s theirs; if not inviting a mugging/robbery.

          I’m sorry but if I magically find a box with $100K in it, the IRS is not on the list of people I tell.

          I’m pretty sure I never told them about the motherboard I bought back in 2002 off NewEgg and I didn’t pay sales tax on it.

            Depending on your financial situation; an exta 100k suddenly appearing in your finances will turn some heads.

            Missed sales tax on a small purchase; not so much.
