Is that a legitimate banknote? If so, isn’t it illegal to reproduce it same size as original?

Dunno. I’ve never seen an original - have you?

Legal answer: Call for help. His signature dies with him and the money passes to his estate upon his death. You need to keep him alive until the check clears.
Moral answer: Call for help. You have a duty to prevent all murders, including suicides.

The person can’t be too liberal. After all, they do not give their own money to charities. Liberals tend to believe that what government is supposed to do amounts to charity.

Anything goes, when it’s for the children...except if its to go full-term.

This is exactly why the Jack Kevorkians of the world are so wrong. There will always be family and friends and others with financial incentives who will push for an early death.
It's called the Obama Plan for Obtaining Life Insurance Monies of Those Deceased.

He obviously didn’t want to commit suicide or he wouldn’t have done this before hand. He would have just done it and made sure his will was in order.

He would have just done it and made sure his will was in order. Isn't that what he did?

There was no evidence that Beech was mentally incompetent when he drafted the will, he noted. And while there’s laws on the books that prevent a beneficiary from murdering a person and collecting his estate, the law doesn’t cover a beneficiary who receives advance notice of suicide and then fails to contact the authorities. Suicide is a subtype of murder. The charity knew the murder plot ahead of time and did nothing, so they should not benefit. Someone planning a murder is not of sound mind. I hope this ruling is appealed.

But her benefitting (or at least her charity) casts a dark shadow on this donation and on her “allowing” this to go forward.
