Ethical question, stealing from a theif

[BillNye]

I'd take some, its not his money and its obvious that the original owner of the $$$ wont ever get it back.

[Deorum]

I don't have time to make a long response right now. I just wanted to add that if you take some of it, you are now legally in posession of stolen money.

You are effectively restealing from his former employer, who still is out that money. So the ethical thing to do is either leave it alone or rat him out, not try to justify taking the ill-gotten gains he currently possesses. However if you do hypocritically justify it to yourself to take a Franklin, then you might as well just take it all for the poetic "justice" of it.

Snitching is something that I generally don't believe in. It also is a bad idea because 1. You now identified yourself as a witness and may have to testify 2. You are setting yourself up for him to want revenge

[kerowo]

So basically, you don't want to get involved because it will be inconvenient?
