I posted the There Will Be Blood clip in the OP for a reason

You're missing the point. You not getting caught is one of the conditions of the scenario.

I'm pretty certain I wouldn't do it, I'm soft as shit, I have never been in a fist fight and I feel bad when I type slightly aggressive posts sometimes . Maybe if I really was in that situation then £50m would be too tempting but if the bloke was innocent I'd probably kill myself after because of the guilt.

I've said if he done something to me then I'd do it more than likely but an innocent guy? Nah.

I don't think I could, not knowing a thing about him. I might if he were an *******.

I think most people would though, just like the Stanford Prison Experiment.

An artist did something similar recently, where she laid down in a gallery amongst dozens of objects ranging from stuffed animals and perfume to *****s and hacksaws, and she told viewers that regardless what they picked up from the room and did to her, she would not move for seven hours. Apparently it escalated to violence within a few minutes, people cutting her clothes up, beating her, even putting a gun to her head.

I honestly think i'm that moral and would never consider it. I'm fine living by the means I am now. I have everything I want in life.

I'm not violent either, but imagine that moment when you have a gun/knife/whatever in your hand and you're looking at this person and you know that all you have to do is do it and right there and then you'll be set for life. No "All I have to do is go to school for fifty years and rack up 100 million dollars in student debt and work my ass off for a boss who doesn't give a shit about me and then I'll have enough money to buy a shitty house and not be able to buy medication when I'm seventy" bullshit. Just, bam, one second you don't have fifty million dollars and the next second you do and you will actually be at the cusp of that moment. You wouldn't do it? You wouldn't have a moment of weakness?

It's possible but I know for a fact I'd feel terrible after the novelty of the money has worn off so I'd hope I'd remember that and not do it.
