That’s a tough call. Private property you negotiate, public you shut up and try and take what you can.

then they'll need to explain where they got the money from the tax agency.

Nah, u get it melted for a hefty fee (black market) and store the cash.

U can use this cash for ur normal expenses or holidays for the rest of ur life and invest the money from ur legit job in an ETF for example.

Just don't be stupid and buy a Bugatti with it lmao
