Maybe the guy just robbed a bank, or casino. Lol.
Reminds me of that Honeymooners episode where Ralph finds a suitcase filled with money.

Lol, guess the cab driver was smarter than Lloyd, or dumber, hmmm. Still I hope the cabbie gets a great tip.

My devil side is telling me that the genius who left the bag could retrace his steps back to the cab. Almost every cab have cameras in them and the video of him leaving the bag would be traced back to the cab driver so there’s no escape. It’s not like you’ll find cabbie at the penthouse suite of the Bellagio the next day with lots of escorts LOL. Either way, kudos to cabbie..

The cabbie certainly did the right thing — but one has to really wonder about the guy who gets out of the cab, leaving a bag with $300,000 cash!
The cab company tracked him down.
And out of that cash, he didn’t just hand the cabbie a few hundred or even thousand dollars.

Check out Norton in the chauffeur's outfit. I think Ralph had promised him after finding the money-filled suitcase that he would "put him behind the wheel of a new Cadillac".

How does one ‘forget’ a bag with $300K? When it’s not your money, and you want to get rid of evidence asap. Or, when the money is from a bank robbery and may have been sprayed with ‘stuff’ that could identify the custody trail of that currency.

How fast did the IRS get involved?

They also have GPS now, like here in New York city, the liberal a-hole capital of the world, if you leave something in a cab you can call 311 and tell them what time and at what street you got out at and they have a list of every cab that was there by looking up the GPS records.

I don’t know about Vegas, but if you cash out that much here, the IRS already knows.

The Police didnt arrest the cash?It would appear that the owner of the cash was untouchable. He was probably a mobster, politician, or well-connected drug dealer.

Probably not. I doubt someone of Reid's stature would stoop to using a mere taxicab.
Could be one of his bagmen associates, though.

My guess is the money probably didn’t belong to the guy or, it was his gambling money for poker and he didn’t wish to dwindle his assets before hand which makes perfect sense. Depending on what he ends up winning will determine the tip, which makes sense.
