Man arrested over $1 mil left in suitcase at Italian restaurant in Sydney

It was me. I'd like it back now please.

a man around 30 years old wearing surfing shorts and a singlet carried the suitcase into the cafe.

Normally, both your asses would be dead as fried chicken, but you happen to pull this while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ...

I wonder what the law is regarding the person that found it and if they get to keep it.

Drug money? Bet someone is not too happy with the fella who left the money there.

Why would gogogo get a thumb down? I guess I am going to get one just for asking this LOL

Well, that was fast. So what charge did they arrest him on I wonder? Is it illegal to carry 1 million on your person, or to forget it in a restaurant?

having too much money is a crime?

I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart.

Suitcase? Or violin case?

That $$$ is peanuts for the mafia.

From the article I´d say there is a fair chance that was not his money to start with.

having too much money is a crime?

That does appear to be the thought of the year. So much for my dreams of being rich!

My guess, Australia, just any other modern western nation has it's own fair share of problems with drugs, mafias etc.. I do feel sorry for the fool who forgot this money and or lost it, if I know the mafia, they will not be very happy with him or her.
