minus-squareohwhatfollyisman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up31·5 months agoi don’t understand why one would even broadcast such a find. just keep the cash and keep mum.
minus-squareDarkassassin07@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·5 months agoYou’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 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.
