"Innocent bystanders at the location attested to the total amount of money that was thrown away could be millions,"
HK5000 is less than 700US
i wonder what the police done with the other amounts that they grabbed but didnt declare, thus not have to give back to the arrestee
I'm amazed that they were able to get anything. He was throwing money onto people, showering them with bills. A normal reaction would be to grab them as fast as possible and most people would continue even after the arrival of the police. It's money lying on the street, they can't arrest or fine you for picking up a bill from the pavement.
That millionaire definitely did not think it through. What if someone got hit by a car collecting the bills? Our generous donor would get some serious charges.
