Honestly? I sincerely doubt you, or anyone would actually, really, for realsies, go to prison for eight years for $50M. Anyone would beg to be released after a few weeks.

That is a complete middle class mindset. Jail is cool in the hood. I've done a few months for stupid stuff when I was young and it's not that bad.

People risk 10 years for robbing bands for a couple thousand. A guaranteed $10 million would have lines around the block for volunteers in the neighborhood I grew up in.

There's a difference between risking ten years and knowing for sure that you'll spend the ten years.

I too think that people underestimate how much prison would absolutely suck. Especially if you lead a life that is otherwise crime-free.
