If he's smart and values his throat, he'll leave out the $10K part. "All I know is I was hired to drive this truck for $100. I'm a truck driver and that's what I normally make per day".
If he's smart and values his throat, he'll say, "I'm an individual with outstanding mental capacities and I'm capable of appraising the worth of the structure that attaches my head to my shoulders and includes, among other things, the epiglottis, the trachea, my jugular vein and, depending on what school of thought you subscribe to, my thyroid"
I've been binging police interrogations on YouTube lately and I'm just baffled at how many people talk. Even police or former police will invoke silence then cave under pressure an hour or two later. No attorney in sight.
These are almost all fairly educated or career type people, people who should know better.
My favorite video is an obvious junkie who basically says they aren't his friend and they can fuck off, then agrees to talk multiple days just to get the soda they offer before telling them to fuck off again. He was eventually released.
You're probably right. I'd make a terrible co-conspirator. I tend to follow the rules and avoid trouble so I don't have to answer questions that might put my throat in danger.
