It isn't that simple, regardless of the cash you receive, you will always have that aura of "guilty" hanging over your head by people who you once considered friends........
Unless you're willing to move to another country or another state where your identity will never be discovered, you will always be considered guilty in the eyes of many........I couldn't live with that.
In 2005, an employee at my plant was accused of molesting the girl friend of his teenage daughter. He was arrested, thrown in jail and arraigned and the judge even called him a monster for what he had done without even hearing the testimony.
Long story short, the ex-wife had conspired with the daughter's friend to falsely accuse Andy of the molestation because Andy had custody of their daughter and she was attempting to regain custody.
Andy was found innocent but the financial burden to fight the accusation and the ostracizing he encountered in his neighborhood and loss of his job in 2006 was too much for him. He hung himself in July of 2007........
No amount of money in the world will ever restore your honor or your good name.........
What the hell is wrong with people...
