I don’t know about up there in PA, down here in Tucson people with Mexican license plates will drop $300 cash in those places all the time. You’ll see 5 or 6 Sonoran plates in the parking lot all day Saturday and Sunday and whenever they shop up here they’re dropping serious bills.

getting away with an undetermined amount of money.

Quit lying to us MSM. The word is undisclosed, not undetermined. I question why it is even legal to publish lies.

Well, technically neither is correct. The amount had undoubtedly been disclosed to somebody (company officials, police), just not to the media.
