Ethical dilemma

The names and places have been changed to protect the innocent. Scenario:

You and friend work for UPS. You are expecting a 5000 lb shipment of gold worth 70 million dollars. The shipment never arrives. For one week, the company searches for the gold but no one finds it.

A new guy starts working on a 3 man shift. The new guy finds the gold in the back of a plane that went to maintenance. He just started so he doesn't know the gold is missing and starts unloading the gold.

You and your friend know this is missing gold that people have been looking for but no one knows it has been found.

WHAT DO YOU DO? 70 million in gold.

-------------------------------------
So that was our topic of conversation. It would be very hard to pass up taking the 70 million but logistically I couldn't see how I can transport 5000 lbs of gold easy. I also don't run in the circle of selling gold bars. So even if I found someone to fence the gold, I may only make 35 million and then I have to split it with my co-worker.

More than likely I would have to flee the U.S. It would be hard to pass up $70 million but I think I would need more time to plan. If I had the time then I think I might do it.

------------------------------------

That moved us to the next topic. Say it wasn't gold. Say you were given $70 million in cold hard cash to get up from your job, board a plane to fly anywhere you want outside the U.S. and you could never see, talk or give any kind of money to your family and friends again. So no goodbye's. Your family and spouse would just never hear from you again.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

I must be the only crumb because I said I would take the $70 million. C'mon it is $70 million dollars....CASH. The only problem for me would be JT. I would have to leave him with Aya without any explanation. I think I would be very guilty but I am sure $20 million dollars later I would be okay...I think.

None of my co-workers said they would leave their spouse and they don't even have kids! If it was just Aya, in a heart beat I would leave. Of course if was the other way around, how would I feel? I look at it this way, it would suck to be me, but if I ever found out how can I be upset? Who wouldn't have a better life than they do now with $70 million.

My coworkers even spun it the other way, what if Aya could take JT and the $70 million?? I thought that was even better. I would still be sad without JT but then $70 million would set JT up for life.

I dunno, maybe I wouldn't take the money. I know money doesn't make you happy, but I would think everyone has their price. I am just saying given a chance to take $70 million in cash....it would be awfully tempting.
