most of us would steal a million from a big multinational if we knew we'd get away with it

I would. I would also steal from some individuals, like Sunak, or other multimillionaires.

No

No. Theft involves guile and dishonestly, even if there is no chance of getting caught. It’s immoral and deprives others of what is rightfully theirs.

Nope.

Theft is theft.

So what would you do with this million quid you stole then?

Buys you a halfway decent house where I live. Some people have no ambition.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 22/06/2024 21:47

I'd be fascinated to know how you'd go about doing that. You do realise that the millions aren't cash in the bank that you can withdraw from an ATM, right?

CorylusAgain · 22/06/2024 21:46

I wouldn't.

andtheendwasgone · 22/06/2024 21:46

Urmmm no

Wtf. I hope you don't work in finance or banking

LadyFeatheringt0n · 22/06/2024 21:45

I am in a position where due to my job i probably could and no, i never would!

Theft is theft. Doesn't matter who you steal from, stealing is wrong. I would not do this.

A lot of multi millionaires came from very humble beginnings and built their fortune from scratch . So no I wouldn't.

Op then a developing world person should steal £10000 from you, and not worry about it, after all you are several times more wealthy than them…

Nouvellenovel · 22/06/2024 21:43

I’ve too much Catholic guilt. However I wouldn’t judge you op.

SirWalterElliot · 22/06/2024 21:42

I'd steal a million from a multi-billionaire if I knew I'd get away with it AND I knew no-one else would get in trouble.

OccasionalHope · 22/06/2024 21:41

Well no, I hope ‘most of us’ wouldn’t be fundamentally dishonest.

Scammersarescum · 22/06/2024 21:41

You justify your immorality to yourself however you please, but personally I'm not a thief
