A 'What If' Scenario, in two acts
Scene 1:
You are invited to an office. A man is sitting behind a desk, and he makes you an offer: he will give you a million dollars. No catch, you can even take it with you when you leave the office. However, he wants you to know that the money is not his, but rather, it is taken from bank savings of a group of people. He doesn't tell you anything about them, but assures you that there will not be any reprocussion to you should you choose to take the money. If you refuse it, the money will be returned to the people it was taken from. What do you do? Scene 2: Same scenario as above, but along with the money, you are given detailed information on the people the money was taken from, including the consequence of the loss.

Good scenario... Would you be reffering to banks, by chance?
Anyway, in this... I probably couldn't take the money... I have too much of a conscience. Even knowning that the NEXT person would probably take anyway, I just couldn't do it knowing that it would be MY fault that people's lives are ruined... Besides, even with not knowing the information of the people, I can imagine plenty enough about how they may be crushed despite not being told. The latter would just make it worse. T__T

As for me, I'd reject the money in both scenarios. Suddenly having an easy life could affect you pretty bad, I'd say. Its nice and cool when you work for the stuff you want, you get the whole self satisfaction feeling, etc.

Lol! Selo rejects it, not because it'd ruin the lives of hundreds of people... But because he would rather not have 'easy money'?
...interesting priorities...

Reject money, both scenarios
 Honestly, if I had a million dollars, I'd end up spending around ten thousand of it, then I wouldn't know what the hell I'd do with the rest So, yeah, give it back to the people who rightfully deserve it
