CAH Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 CRANBURY, New Jersey (AP) -- State police seized more than $5 million in cash Thursday from a tractor-trailer found idling unattended for two days on the shoulder of a roadway, authorities said. The driver, Salvadore Delarosa, 46, of San Bernardino, California, was arrested on a money laundering charge. "The cash is the proceeds of illegal conduct, possibly narcotics activity, but that still remains under investigation," Attorney General Peter Harvey said. Investigators have not yet determined the exact source of the money. Delarosa was seen near the vehicle Thursday, said state police spokesman Capt. Al Della Fave. After questioning him, authorities found the cash in six cardboard boxes in the sleeping berth behind the cab. Each weighed about 100 pounds; the bills were mixed denominations, Della Fave said. Della Fave said a preliminary count put the total at about $5.3 million, which would make it the largest money seizure in state history. source: http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/02/18/cash.seized.ap/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that sarcasm? Do you not plan on eating ever again? Do you not plan on buying a car ever? House? Cell phone? Utilities? College? Taxes? Your prescious internet costs money too! What the heck, $2000 would probably not even last most people more than a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be so easy to take one of those boxes and live happy. If there was a total of around $6 million in 6 boxes, then each probably had about a million in it. So yea, I would be happy with one million tax free dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea... I think that its kinda shifty. I think everyone would take something.. Even a 20. People need to eat man! If it was only one cop that pulled up first, then he definately took something.
